[Web4lib] electronic library newsletter software

[Lisa Manax Skikos]

Unfortunately timelines for this project are extremely tight with little IT support available so I think blogging software is out, although I am looking at implementing blogs this summer for book clubs. The right enewsletter software will have a database that connects to our web site for subscriber addresses so patrons can subscribe/unsubscribe from our web site.

thanks, Lisa

Have you considered using blogging software (i.e. WordPress or
MovableType)?

I am currently evaluating software options for our Public Library's new
e-newsletters. We need a system that is easy-to-use, provides reports (#
of emails opened, links clicked etc.), requires little IT dept. time and
enables users to sign up from our web site.

We were looking at RocketSales but people I've directly contacted are
giving it mixed reviews. Does anyone else have experience with
RocketSales or any other software? Any packages we should avoid?

Thanks,
