We use a similar scheme to the one Robert describes to send text messages for "soon due" notices, event reminders and new title author alerts. We ask for the patron's cell phone number and service provider. The message is sent via email to the email-to-SMS gateway each provider offers. You can see an example here: http://www.hclib.org/pub/events/RemindMe.cfm?ID=4386 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn Peterson gpeterson@...
