View Maps
Map descriptions and/or images are accessible from Researcher or Scout search details when an item falls within a corresponding call number range. Additional information, such as written directions, can be provided in the Map Description field and appear with the map image. Notes are for operator use only and will not be visible to patrons. Maps are required to have either an image and/or description.
Circulation
In Circulation, go to the Actions menu for the current item and select Show Map. Use the drop-down menu in the bottom-left corner to see which site the map is for and switch to the map for a different site.

Browse for Map Picture. This selection opens a standard browser explorer window, allowing you to guide Alexandria to the location of your locally saved image. This image will be applied to and displayed for the indicated Call Number Range. You can use nearly any image format (e.g. JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs, or BMPs) supported by your browser. Although they can be larger (or smaller), the optimal size for map pictures should be no larger than 960 pixels wide by 480 pixels high; if your image is larger, it will automatically be resized to fit our size specifications.
Remove Map Picture. This removes the map picture for the currently highlighted (i.e. selected) map. Once saved, you can't restore deleted map images, so be careful!
