[LM_NET] Sec: e-mailing overdues

[Vicki Reutter <Vreutt@AOL.COM>]

Is anyone e -mailing overdues directly to students or parents? Does your circ 
system include the title of the material? Can you omit the title?
Alexandria offers a great e-mail option but the notice contains the item 
title and I've been told by my colleagues that it would violate   student 
confidentiality if we send the notice to the parent.

Students have volunteered their own e-mail address to us as a way to get 
their notice, (even though they would prefer a text message!) - but, we haven't 
sent any notices home to the parents' addresses we have in our student database. 
We could, with one click!   How nice to be paperless, but I don't know if, by 
"third party disclosure," the confidentiality statute means no parental 
knowledge of library book titles.
