Highlights
We’ve been hard at work cleaning things up, adding to Textbook Tracker, and enhancing reports. Take a look at what we’ve got for you this month!
You’ll now see newer titles at the top when sorting Search’s results by Year.
We’ve increased the Letters > Email Signature character limit to 1500, meaning you can now fill it with all the important information your patrons need!
Important
- Axis 360 is no longer supported with Alexandria. They are using an old security standard (TLS 1) that has been deprecated for several years. Furthermore, Axis 360 has informed us that they have no plans to support TLS 1.2 or newer technologies. For this reason, Alexandria can no longer integrate with them. You can continue to catalog and use Axis 360 resources in your Alexandria collection, but there is no automatic authentication. The Alexandria Axis 360 preferences will be removed in a future release.
- Due to lack of interest, we no longer support a direct integration with Soundzabound and have removed its preferences.
- If you self-host on a Mac, hold off updating your servers to macOS 10.15 Catalina. Alexandria will be 64-bit compatible in a future release. We highly recommend you consider Cloud Hosting.

Learn about resources you can use to bolster your library's Z39.50 list!
