How many hours have you invested into creating and maintaining your library’s catalog? The number is likely in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, of hours. What would happen if you lost all that data? Protecting your data is a huge responsibility, which is why we offer Cloud Hosting. Though, Self Hosting is available as well.

Catalog Management

Your catalog is extremely important to your library. In fact, it's one of the most important assets you have. We offer two superb catalog management solutions: Centralized Catalog and Distributed Catalog (with the option of using an Alexandria Controller).

Distributed Catalog

Houses your sites in separate databases that are managed on either one data station (Alexandria Controller) or individual data stations. Best for libraries that want to maintain complete autonomy.

Tip

Alexandria has multiple ways to indicate "where" a patron or copy is associated with. The two main types are what we call sites and locations. We recommend reading our Site vs. Location article, as this decision will affect which catalog management setup you choose.

Also, if you're setting up your library as a resource center, take a look at our Resource Centers article.
