Alexandria proudly partners with Perma-Bound to enhance the reading experience by offering book binding and rebinding services to schools and public libraries. Perma-Bound also provides high-quality materials for long-lasting general circulation that support learning and foster a love of reading and libraries. Perma-Bound's integration with Alexandria provides you with an easy way to export your data in MARC format and upload it to Perma-Bound for review and analysis.

Preferences and Tools tab

Alexandria's integration with Perma-Bound includes a convenient single sign-on solution; provide your Perma-Bound account credentials (i.e. Username and Password) and you will be automatically forwarded to the Vendor URL and authenticated by Perma-Bound. If you don't yet have a Perma-Bound account, you may click here to register for one.

• Enable Perma-Bound. When enabled, a Perma-Bound selection will appear in the Actions menu menu located in the Current Item pane of the Circulation window.

• Vendor URL. Selecting Perma-Bound from the Vendors section of the Actions menu will take you to the address provided here. The default is: http://www.perma-bound.com/Alexandria.

These tools allow you to create an export file that can be uploaded to Perma-Bound for review and analysis.

• Perma-Bound Username & Password. Provide your Perma-Bound account username and password here. These are required for the single sign-on solution; used to authenticate your credentials on the Perma-Bound School Library site. If you don't yet have a Perma-Bound account, you may click here to register for one.

• Perma-Bound Export. This button creates an “Item Export” text file (via Operation Management) that can be uploaded to Perma-Bound for review and analysis.

• Export All Sites. This option gives Centralized Catalog operators the ability to export their entire collection or the single site they're currently logged into. Choosing to export a single site keeps the item export file smaller, and generally makes the Perma-Bound catalog review faster.
