Why Use the Text Alert Service?
While you are already receiving email notifications to your FAU email address, you may not check your emails right away or the emails may end up in your Junk folder.
Text alerts will be an added reminder to help you return materials on time.
Opt in to have certain FAU Library notices sent to you via text. Log in to your account through the Library website, add your mobile number, and select which alerts you’d like to receive. Try all 3 alerts!
Courtesy Reminder AlertYou can receive an alert to let you know that your FAU Library items are due back in 5 days. This gives you enough time to renew them in person, over the phone, or through the Library website.
Overdue Alert
You can receive an alert that lets you know if an item checked out to you is 1 day overdue.
Request Alert
You can receive an alert that a FAU Library item you have placed a Hold/Recall request for has arrived and is being held at the Library Services counter for the next 7 days. This does not apply to Interlibrary Loans or UBorrows materials.
