You will see all the

nice text window.

Use your browser’s Find option, and then
find the wwwoptions they used to
achieve the effect you’re hoping for.

Text Message Notices for

Text Message Notices
Request It like normal, and you get a
text message instead of an email.
Text Message Notices
Patrons have to modify their email address
so that an email goes to vendor and Velti
changes it over text and sends message!
Text Message Notices
Toledo Lucas County Public Library had
about 800 patrons sign up in the last year.
However, the vendor is discontinuing
service at the end of the month.
Text Message Notices
Innovative Product: 305SMS SMS Text Messaging
Innovative product, will enable libraries to supplement regular notice production with new
SMS Hold Pickup Notices. In addition, this new product will be hosted by Innovative at one
of its secure hosting facilities. This means that libraries do not need to have individual
accounts with SMS message providers and can be implemented without using precious
staff resources. SMS Test Messages are unlimited in number, ensuring that the Library
never runs out of messages.
SMS hold pickup notices will be sent frequently during the day so they will be delivered in a
timely fashion, at times within the hour of an item’s availability. This supplemental service
does not replace regular production of hold pickup notices; these notices are still sent in the
prescribed manner to patrons.
Hold pickup notices will likely be followed by courtesy notices.
Hold pickup notices are delivered as SMS messages to patrons’ mobile phones and text
message devices. Staff can customize the text of each notice type. A new field in patron
records identifies the mobile phone number to receive the message. Patrons and staff can
specify SMS notice as the preference for receiving hold pickup notices.
Contact Your Customer Sales Consultant for more information.

TroubleShooting:
) Your oclc number is not displaying in your bibdisplay.html, you may want to try and display that.
http://library.ccbcmd.edu:2082/search~S4?/Yharry+potter&searchscope=4&SO
RT=D/Yharry+potter&searchscope=4&SORT=D&SUBKEY=harry%20potter/1%2C24%2C2
4%2CB/frameset&FF=Yharry+potter&searchscope=4&SORT=D&1%2C1%2C
I think your bib_display.html file needs to have something added:
I'd probably add something to the bibdisplay.html in these lines:
<span class="style1">
<!--{recordlink}-->
<!--{recordinfo:#}-->
</span>
To control what exact fields display in my full details section I use the following.
<!--{recordinfo:crenwi}-->
<!--{recordinfo:asdbuxz}-->
whereby the letters after the recordinfo: stand for the tags of the
data.
I don't have a way to tell what tag is used for your oclc number, but you'll need to get the oclc number to display.
2) Try changing the webpub.def to the way mine is below.
If your webpub.def tells system to display oclc # as follows
b|o|001|OCLC #|b|
mine reads like:
b|o|001|&|OCLC #||b|
