[ISLMA-Share] Emailing student fines/holds in Destiny

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We do this. The key is for your students to have email that the school
knows and have your tech input it as Email 2. (Our school provides gmail to
all students so it all auto-fills nicely.)

You then run a patron report...all items overdue. Notice sent to email 2.
For this notice we schedule it to go on Fridays and include the titles.

We send a similar notice to parents on Sunday, but suppress the title. We
used to send the notice to parents on Wednesday, but found it just
generated a million frustrated parent phone calls wanting to know what book
etc. On Sunday at noon, parent's are usually with their kids and can talk
about it right then. Our returns on Monday have gone through the roof.

We also now send reminder notices to students the day before an item is
due. This has helped tremendously as well.
