LIBRARY NOTICE now "From your library"

The email header of all catalog notices is changing as of this morning. We feel that Library Notice sounds a little daunting, probably punitive or at least indicating bad news, and no longer suggests the potential range of the nature of the communications that we are sending out through this forum. Overdue notices are now a minority of messages sent, with an increasing number being informational or user-requested messages. The subject line of emails being sent out from the catalog now reads "From Your Library" to indicate the source of the message rather than the possible content.

On a related note: does anyone feel that changing the name of OVERDUE to Extended Use Fee would be problematic? Let me know in comments or email me.
