How to Set E-mail Notifications

The SILO ILL system features a full set of notifications that will send you an email message at each status change of a transaction as it moves through the system.  These notifications are optional, and each account in SILO iLL has its own notification settings.

The intent of these messages is to remind staff to login to the system and take some action.  Most library staff that work in SILO ILL should plan to login to the website regularly rather than rely solely on notification messages.

Set your notification preferences.

1. Login to your account in SILO ILL.
2. Click on the My Account menu and select the Update Account option.
3. All notifications are off by default.  Check the box next to each notice you want to receive.
4. Click the Update button.

 

NOTE: Email messages are for notification purposes only.  All transactions must be responded to within the SILO ILL system.  Transactions may expire or be cancelled which may not be reflected in email notifications.  The website will always show the current status of a transaction.  Do not send materials based on an email notification.  Always respond within the SILO ILL website before shipping or returning materials.
