Hi Val,

Thanks for your comments! Yes “Triple I” refers to Innovative. I’m happy to hear that they do offer “underdue notices” and notices which can be sent by email and text, and thrilled to hear that your library is actively offering these options to your customers.

But since many (most?) III libraries aren’t implementing these features I’d say Library Elf IS necessary, at least for now. (Wondering: are these features available on all III systems? Are they easy to implement? Do they cost extra $$$? Are libraries even aware that they are available?)

I look forward to the day when Elf-like features are built-in to all systems, but until that happens I’ll take it where I can get it

Hallo Guys from Dorset in the UK. Can you help me here, what does Triple I mean? Does it refer to the library management system from Innovative Interfaces?

If so, you can set it up easily to send out "underdue" notices.We send them out by email and also text message on your cell phone. No need for the "screen scraping" of Library Elf. The patron's information is still secure.

And yes, our patrons and staff all love it!

I LOVE Library Elf. Love, love, love. And the Library Elf people are very responsive. And to do a little self promotion, my Net Connect article at http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6344741.html includes some suggestions on protecting patron privacy.

Wow! As an employee of your library, I didn't realize that Library Elf supported our Triple I catalogue! I just signed up for an account. We should totally promote the Elf to our patrons!

As for TypePad, I join the chorus of those saying "go for it". If I weren't so entrenched in Blogger, I would make the switch for Pop.

Thanks for mentioning Library Elf's great customer service. In Ralph's presentation he also noted how responsive Library Elf had been to his requests for statistics, promotional graphics, and other tweaks.
On another note, I enjoy reading
SNED and although it's in my personal aggregator I just realized that I
didn't have it on the Garden blogroll, so I just added it. . -Pete

Library Elf is another company that gives excellent customer service. When we tested it with employees, the two major cell phone companies in my area were not on their list. A couple days after emailing the company, they had the service set up. Our customers love Library Elf!

Hey Peter – I heartily recommend typepad for your blog. I use it for Kept-Up and my library’s blog. It’s easy, the support is tremendous, and it’s not that expensive. The stats are good too (not great). If you are into, they are making loads of widgets available. I say run, don’t walk, for your typepad account.

Well, I’m having a pretty awful day, but your last point broke through it all. Now I’m giggling away in the library. Good thing there aren’t any students around.
