		<description>Thanks for the useful, to some people, advice on alerts. I posted this part by way of humor, part by way of confession, and part as a way to chronicle the stumbles I&#039;ve taken doing #noemail. I prolly won&#039;t be changing email to txt any time soon tho</description>

		<description>Assuming that you have a mobile phone from one of the major providers, then you should be able to use their email to SMS interface to get notifications by text message.  Switch back to email notifications and enter your email address in the form shown on the page I&#039;ve linked to.  For example, if you provider is Verizon you&#039;d enter YOURTEXTNUMBER@vtext.com.  When an email goes to that address the provider converts it to a text and sends it to the phone.

		<description>Megan,
As I posted just above, I have gone Postal via myLIbrary. Took me a bit to discover this option, but once I did it all seemed clear and even obvious. 
I&#039;d love for the UNC Directory to offer more options for communications contacts. My students largely avoid email -- and as you see in articles below, this is a national if not international trend.</description>

		<description>They (University Libraries) do send out snail mail notices, but only if you&#039;ve registered with them and the university (because that&#039;s where they pull it) that you do not have an e-mail address... this may be difficult since the university assigns you an e-mail. The only problem with the mail notices is you&#039;d probably still have a fine because by the time you got your notice, the book would be overdue anyway. It would be interesting to see if there was another way to do an alert system set up with your (or everyone&#039;s) MyLibrary account...</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve done some exploring since my last comment and see that you can opt for paper mail! Oddly no one told me that at the book return. But sure enough it&#039;s there at http://www.lib.unc.edu under myLibrary and &quot;Manage Email&quot; which really means select your preferred email addy or opt out of email and into paper announcements.

&quot;Please enter new information and press Submit.

I would like to receive my notices from the library by:
o Postal Mail
o Email&quot;

Mine now is set for going Postal.</description>

		<description>Jeff,
Would have worked for me -- almost. The recall notice being email only is what caught me unawares. I should work on the email folder - RSS thing for library mail or get a Kindle</description>

		<description>I have a task set up in my To Do list: Renew library books. When that comes due, I Renew All (and I usually have like 50 books checked out at any given time), &amp; change the due date for that task to the soonest due date... which is usually months off. Rinse, repeat. I&#039;ve been doing this for years. I&#039;m bucking for my own call number.</description>

		<description>With all the APIs to different social media, it would be as easy to SMS, Tweet, or G+ as it is to send email messages. I guess they haven&#039;t caught up yet.</description>
