You'll have to keep us posted on how it works as you go along.Leslie Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693591676201500879.post-51223731372346500412010-05-26T09:26:18.282-06:002010-05-26T09:26:18.282-06:00Before we migrated to the MSC, we had an automated...Before we migrated to the MSC, we had an automated phone service and not only did we love it but so did our patrons. They really miss it. The patrons got overdue and hold notices as well as telephone renewal. For those folks that will never have internet, telephone renewal was a godsend.<br /><br />I talked to Ken Adams about it and in January he got a quote from Sirsi for automated telephone messaging for the entire MSC. It was about $24,500 set-up and 1st year service, then $4,000 a year after. It was not in the MSC budget. <br /><br />Maybe a few interested libraries could share the setup cost. The yearly service fee might be very affordable to share by the whole consortium.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377727763476373030noreply@blogger.com
