Try it Out: Text a Call Number from the Catalog

| | Comments (0)
The WebOPAC committee has installed some customized code in the WebOPAC which will allow patrons to send a text message of the title, location and call number of an item to their cell phones. This text message enhancement allows patrons to walk to the stacks and look for the book without having to write down that information using a pen and paper.

Below is a screen shot of the Text Info to Phone button.

For all you texters out there, please give it a try! To see this feature, you need to search using the "staging" WebOPAC (http://webpac.library.unlv.edu:2082/search~S1) - this feature is not available to the public just yet. We need to hear from anyone who does not use AT&T as their cell phone provider (successes/failures). Once we've tested this enhancement, we'll be pushing this out to the "live" WebOPAC.  Leave a comment about your experience with the new feature.
