What's New?

20 December 2019

Take a look at what we have prepared just in time for the new year!

  • GG4L. It’s true! We’ve partnered with GG4L and now offer it as a SIS Integration option with Alexandria. Contact our Sales Team at (800) 347-6439 to learn how you can benefit from syncing your patron information with GG4L Connect!
  • Activity (beta). We’re testing a new module called Activity, which records student visits to the library. Give it a try in the demo and let us know what you think! (Login: demo, demo)
  • Cover Art Improvements. Check out our new default cover art images! Also, you can now set your own default images for patrons.

Important

If you self-host on a Mac, hold off updating to macOS 10.15 Catalina. Alexandria may be 64-bit compatible in an upcoming release.
