We would very much like the email address to be passed in field BE of the Patron Information Response message 64. This would mean that the self-check machines could give patrons the option of emailing a receipt rather than printing it. We know you can get Alma to send an email whenever the user borrows a book, but this results in too many emails from Alma and people start ignoring the important messages. Passing the email address to the self-check machine will allow the patrons to choose what kind of receipt to have.
