Hi there, I came across this just the other day. :) The way it works is as follows: First, configure your subscription to have an entry in the Patron Notification drop down (See screenshot 1 I have attached) Then, log in as a user of the opac, search for that serial, then click "More details" at the bottom of the record. You should then see a link "Subscribe to email notification on new issues" Staff can then see who has subscribed in the serials interface - by clicking on Subscribers next to Patron notification (see screenshots 2 and 3 I have attached). This functionality of patrons receiving email when a serial is received is actually independent of the routing lists, and patrons cannot actually be added to the subscriptions by a librarian from the staff interface (a severe limitation of the feature, in my opinion). Nicole - It would be cool if this were in the manual, I think this feature is currently undocumented. I hope this helps, Liz Rea On 09/01/13 23:35, Anselm Olweny wrote:
Dear Colleagues,
I am using koha version 3.08. I have correctly added a serial subscription and created a routing list. However, when I receive a new issue of the serial, an email alert is not sent to/received by the members I have added in the routing list for the serial. Could anyone kindly guide me on why this may be happening and what I need to do so that email alerts are sent to the members in the routing list.
Thanks
