Barcode

• Next Barcode. New copies are assigned the next available barcode number (shown here) unless you assign them a number manually. Setting this field when you first configure Alexandria will ensure new copies are assigned barcodes that coincide with your numbering strategy. The code will increment automatically as new barcodes are assigned.

Policy & Medium

Select the default item policy and medium to use for new title records.

• Default Policy. This drop-down menu allows you to select the default item Policy for newly added title records. The default is Standard Item. If an operator-created item policy is applied and later removed from the system, this setting will revert back to Standard Item.

• Default Medium. This drop-down menu allows you to select the default item Medium for newly added title records; the program default is Book.

Copy Location

Values entered here will be used as defaults when adding new copies, and when changing copy locations using the Circulation command: “CH”. NOTE: The copy site will always default to the user's logged-in site.

• Copy Location. Default value for the copy location field when changing copy locations; the term used for “copy location” can be modified in your Localization preferences.

• Copy Shelving. Default value for the copy sublocation field when changing copy locations; the term used for “copy shelving” can be modified in your Localization preferences.
