Text JAC Records To Your Cellphone

Let’s say you’ve searched JAC, Jenkins’ Automated Catalog, and you’re viewing the record for a book that is on-point. You could:

• Print it out, which is a waste of paper and toner
• Get a scrap of paper, find a pencil buried somewhere in your briefcase, write down the call number and hope you don’t misplace it
• Use our new JAC feature for texting this information to your cellphone or BlackBerry

Simply click on the Send via Text Message button, enter your 10-digit number (no dashes), select your carrier, and click on the Send to Phone button. The message will contain all the information you need to retrieve the book at Jenkins: location, call number, and title. You can even send the text message to your paralegal, office staff, or courier/runner and let them get the books from Jenkins for you.

Carrier charges may apply. Happy texting.
