Using both Alexandria Librarian and Textbook Tracker allows you to benefit from shared patrons and overlapping settings—one setup, one server—while assigning specific Security Levels to control access to the different functions. Your patrons will be able to see current checkouts for both library books and textbooks in one location, and pay fines for either with available credit.

• Shared patrons
  • only one patron database to maintain for library/textbook loans
  • patrons can see loan information for both library and textbooks in one location
• Shared administrative settings
  • one setup, one admin for maintenance
• Shared Calendars
  • keep the same schedule
• Shared Sites
  • consistency with site information
• Security for shared or exclusive access to library/textbook functions
• If you are self-hosted—one server, one backup
