Hi there,
I came across this just the other day. :)
The way it works is as follows:
First, configure your subscription to have an entry in the Patron
Notification drop down (See screenshot 1 I have attached)
Then, log in as a user of the opac, search for that serial, then click
"More details" at the bottom of the record. You should then see a link
"Subscribe to email notification on new issues"
Staff can then see who has subscribed in the serials interface - by
clicking on Subscribers next to Patron notification (see screenshots 2
and 3 I have attached).
This functionality of patrons receiving email when a serial is received
is actually independent of the routing lists, and patrons cannot
actually be added to the subscriptions by a librarian from the staff
interface (a severe limitation of the feature, in my opinion).
Nicole - It would be cool if this were in the manual, I think this
feature is currently undocumented.
I hope this helps,
Liz Rea

Dear Colleagues,
I am using koha version 3.08. I have correctly added a serial subscription
and created a routing list. However, when I receive a new issue of the
serial, an email alert is not sent to/received by the members I have added
in the routing list for the serial. Could anyone kindly guide me on why
this may be happening and what I need to do so that email alerts are sent
to the members in the routing list.
Thanks
Anselm
