Thanks Liz, I followed your guidance and it works. I also add my voice to yours in saying the the koha development team should consider enabling the librarian to be able to subscibe patrons from the staff cleint.
In addition, I met another problem, I edited the routing list notice from Tools to include the volume number/issue number, but unfortunately the email alert received only includes the serial title without the Volume/Issue numbers. Is they any way around this problem?
