Highlights
Take a look at what we've been doing to make managing your library easier!
Activity
We’ve added an Express Mode to Activity, which allows for contactless, hands-free sign-in! Open the Settings from the top navigation to change modes.
Accessibility
We are making improvements to Researcher’s accessibility with better keyboard access, voiceover guidance, and tooltips. Both the Researcher Hub (your main page) and Scout are now WCAG AA-compliant.
Nicknames
Now you can import and export patron nicknames! If you use Alexandria headers to map import fields, nicknames will be under 1070.
New & Improved
GG4L
- Increased ease-of-use when field mapping by replacing the User ID of Type entry field with a dropdown menu. This means you can choose from a list rather than needing to look up and type in user IDs yourself!
Reports
- Distribute information more easily with our Loaned Items/Textbooks Information reports by using the new Page Break on Major Sort option. Sort by Patron Barcode to get lists of items loaned to individual patrons.
- Cleaned up the header area of the Send Patron Details Email report to be more presentable.
- Fixed the Usage by Period report’s Hour of the Day format to show usage during all time periods.
Researcher
- Fixed a bug in Scout that was causing a hold to be placed after attempting to cancel.
System
- Added a required email field when setting up your first District Administrator account. This ensures you’ll be able to reset this account’s password if necessary.
- Updated SIF registration so that certain information and features are only visible when registered for SIF.
- Fixed loading issues for Researcher and Utilities.
- Improved performance and reliability.
Self-Hosted Notice
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.
