Tip for: 10.27.14

Do you use Study Programs? Did you know you can enter multiple Study Programs in your Item records?

Study Program information is kept in the 526 or 521 MARC tag for study programs. Alexandria supports Accelerated Reader, Reading Counts, Fountas and Pinnell, and more.

Note: When adding Fountas and Pinnell records, avoid using an ampersand (Fountas & Pinnell). “Fountas and Pinnell” is the term used throughout Alexandria.

New imports will automatically change the term to “Fountas and Pinnell”.
