Highlights

Have you ever been confused about the Title Information report vs the Title Information by Awards and so forth? The different reports were really to offer additional selections. We’ve made things simpler by combining some of these reports… and making BIG changes to them all! See Reports under New & Improved for more details. 



If you are an administrator or IT and need to check access to Alexandria Librarian, what can you do? Well, now you can run a User Sessions export and see login/logout/session data from the last few months.

When importing, do you ever lose track of the file you imported? Now in Operations Management you can download the original file. Also, after a BestMARC or EnhanceMARC operation, you can access additional files from Operations Management (indicated by the MISC icon).

New & Improved

Circulation
  • Eliminated problems caused by erroneous negative balances when book dropping older lost items.
Operations
  • Fixed browser error when duplicating reports.
  • Call numbers with an underscore can now be exported, instead of being overwritten.
  • Added the ability to import an 856_u MARC subfield, and fixed importing for Mitinet 650_a.
  • Improved reliability of Activity Summary Report selectors.
  • Fixed imports to prevent a temporary item from being overwritten by an imported copy with the same barcode. The imported copy will be assigned a new barcode and the change will be noted in the log.

Title Information by Publisher

Researcher 
  • Advanced searches with And Not (&-) logical operator will yield accurate results.
Services
  • During weekly maintenance, Overdrive integration record matching has been fixed to prevent duplicates.
  • Patron number and barcode GG4L field mapped values will be defaulted to SIS ID value, when either respective field mapping dialog has been opened after enabling GG4L, to prevent errors if no value is selected. We recommend you follow the onboarding instructions for GG4L, and contact customer support to ensure data integrity.

  • Special Mitinet import is no longer removing unexpected titles and copies.
Inventory
  • Just in time for the upcoming inventory season, we improved the date picker and formatting in the selectors.
Textbook Tracker
  • Patron nickname will now display in the current patron window in circulation.
