Highlights

We have some small improvements for you this month. Check out what’s new!


Thank you to all our users who have sent us feedback about this great new add-on! Now, when setting up the BestMARC add-on (in Preferences > Services), you can see which BestMARC account you are linked to. We’ve also improved how diacritics are handled when sending .mrc records back and forth between Alexandria and BestMARC.

*Alexandria librarian only; Alexandria BestMARC is a paid add-on

Info

Talk to our Sales team to learn more about the BestMARC/Alexandria integration: 1.800.347.6439 or sales@goalexandria.com 

The Reservation Picking List and Reservation Packing List reports were previously only available for Advanced Bookings—now you can set up and schedule them in Reports. Use these along with the Reservation List and Reservation Labels to schedule the reports you need to run when processing your reservations.

  • Receipts hide the patron barcode when the “Hide Patron’s Barcode on Receipts” preference is enabled.
  • Copy List now sorts off-site copies by site.
  • The Textbook Tracker copy list shows checked out copies as Due, instead of Expires.
Imports
  • Imported copies with no barcodes in the import file will use the Starting Item Barcode for all barcode lengths.
Note

Our file size limit for importing is 50MB; however, files slightly under 50MB may not import correctly. We recommend importing all larger files using FTP.
