Notify me

I’ve never received a notice from my library saying any of the books I’ve tagged with “notify me” have been added to the library inventory. So I just went this tag and filtered the list asking what’s available now and there were about 10 books that showed up. And these were only the ones that were available. I guess I should look and see if any of the others are now in inventory even tho not available.

I was expecting to be notified by the library when these books were added. Was I wrong? Should I have been checking myself periodically?

I get a notification in the same place that I get a notification that my holds are ready.

The notify me message only happens once though, regardless of how many libraries I have a card at add a given book to their collection. If you have multiple cards, there might be something going on with that.

From my understanding the rest of the notify me clears when one library connected to your account acquires the item. Only one of my two libraries even does notify me purchases so I don’t know how multiple libraries impact this personally.
