Text Message Feature Added to Library Catalog

| | Comments (2)

You finally found that book you've been wanting to read or that DVD that the rental shops don't stock right here in your library...and it's available! All you have to do now is find a piece of scrap paper, hunt down a pen that has ink, and write down the call number to take with you to the book stacks or Media Services desk. Or, you could text it to your phone!

Save yourself time and be green with the latest feature in Diamond: the library catalog. While viewing any item, just click the "Send via Text Message" button. A new screen will appear - see the example below. Just enter your mobile phone information, and click "Send." In seconds, you'll get a text message with the location, call number, and title of the item. Normal carrier charges may apply.

We hope you enjoy this new feature in our library catalog. Please share any comments or concerns with Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian for Research & Instruction.

Excellent --I got used to this feature when working in another library and I missed it!
