More fun with emails

We've been battling with our library management system for a few days now and have finally succeeded in generating PINs for new students (to use the the library catalogue online) and an email message to send to the student with details of the PIN (and a few other logins too). We'll be sending this message to all new students imported into our library management system

The email looks like the following:

Please do not reply directly to this email, please contact library@dbs.ie if you have any queries

Dear Student,

This email contains details of some logins that you will need to access library and IT resources at DBS

You login to library PCs with your student number as both username and password (you will be asked to change the password upon first login).

You can access our ebook collection at http://www.dawsonera.com with your student number as username and date of birth in the format ddmmyyyy i.e. with no slashes as your password

A new PIN (Access Number) has been generated for you to provide access to the online library catalogue at http://www.heritage.dbs.ie. To manage your library account online login with your student number and PIN.
The new PIN is effective immediately.
If you have any questions please contact the Library.

Your new PIN is:


You can access all other library subscribed electronic resources via 'Search All Resources' on the library homepage, with your student number as username and date of birth (this time in the format dd/mm/yyyy) as your password.

If you have problems with any of the above, please contact the library.

Thank you,

The Library
