Sounds are useful to let you know what’s going on, especially when you may not be in front of the screen (e.g. when you're doing an inventory with a wireless scanner). By default, Alexandria has particular sounds assigned to each action or error, such as patron alerts, maximum checked-out items, and inventory exceptions. But if you want patron alerts to announce themselves with an Uh Oh or Ta-Da!, you can do so.
Customize Sounds
- Open Preferences.
- In the Configuration category, click on Sounds.
Here, you can customize sounds for any of these occurrences. Use the drop-down menu to choose a sound, and click on the speaker icon to preview the currently-selected sound. - Save the preference.

Check out our Sound Preferences page for more information on each action or error. |
Disable Sounds
- Open Preferences.
- In the Configuration category, click on Sounds.
- Uncheck the Enable Librarian Sounds box.
- Save the preference.

Be aware there are some very soft sounds, such as Tick, Whit, Pong, and Fwoo. So you may consider using these rather than disabling sounds entirely. |
Now you can change the sounds to fit your style, and let it be music to your ears.
