Does Koha have a feature that allows users to get email alerts about materials that are new and/or updated? I'm looking for something like Millennium/Innovative "Preferred Search", which allows users to save a search, and get emailed at regular intervals with matching results. In our current system, the trigger that identifies "new" records is an update to the "cat date" field in the record. Therefore, users get emailed about records that are both new and updated/recatalogued. So far, it looks like Koha would either offer RSS feeds, or else permit using an Item Type (this would not work for us-the "trigger" needs to be date-dependent), to achieve this kind of functionality. Are there other options for getting this kind of behavior for individual users (perhaps 200 people), who only care about specific call number series, or specific items, that have been updated, say, in the last week? Maybe it exists and I just haven't found it yet. Thanks so much for your time, Tasha R. Bales | Information Services Support
I think a development is required to provide such a feature. El lun, 29 mar 2021 a las 15:20, Bales (US), Tasha R (< tasha.r.bales@boeing.com>) escribió:

That would be a good enhancement. In our previous system (Liberty3) that feature was available and was well used by customers.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping a similar feature existed and I just missed it. If by chance there are any ideas for how one should best approach approximating this functionality, please let me know. I’m not qualified to develop enhancements for the community, but I might be able to piece something together to meet our needs once I become more familiar with Koha. It might be as simple as evaluating the lists in their library accounts, but I’m not sure about how they’d opt in—I will pursue filing an enhancement request per your suggestion. Our specific need is helping users get apprised of revisions to technical documentation, which might be thought of as integrating resources. Tasha R.
