The
next step in e-library service, BookLetters is a fast, easy,
affordable e-newsletter service that lets patrons customize
the book news they receive from their library and immediately
connect to the library's web site, e-resources and catalog.
Libraries use the BookLetters Tool Kit to select the content-rich
genre specific e-newsletters they want to offer. Using a
template provided by BookLetters, patrons choose the newsletters
they want to receive based on their areas of interest. Every
newsletter is branded with the library's identity and links
back to the library's web site and online catalog to increase
usage of library resources. All database management and
e-mailing is handled by BookLetters so there's no additional
burden on library staff. Created by a partnership between
BookSite, a full service e-commerce solution for bookstores
and publishers, and BookPage, a monthly general interest
book review distributed by libraries to consumers, BookLetters
is a unique Internet tool that integrates library offerings
with patron interests.
