Content is subject to change until the official release on 21 November 2020.
Our recent updates have added cool new features like the Copy List dialog and an improved Remove Holds utility. Tell us how Alexandria is working for you!
Highlights
We've got improvements to accessibility, reports, utilities, and more!
Setup Preferences. Yep, we’ve made a few more changes as we prepare for the Makeover! The new Setup Preferences will contain Barcodes, Localization, and SIP2 preferences, as well as the following from Admin: Email, LDAP, and Checkpoint ILS.
Accessibility. The Researcher Hub, Scout, Status, and Slideshow are now WCAG AA-compliant! Read more about accessibility in Alexandria.
Advanced Report Selections. Circulation reports now allow you to get more specific with your patron policy selections. From the new dropdown menu for the selection, choose whether to select all policies, multiple policies, or all but certain policies. See our documentation on Advanced Selections for more information.
Important
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Mitinet to bring you BestMARC! This MARC data cleanup/supplementation service will take the form of two Alexandria utilities included in a paid add-on. It will be available soon, so keep an eye on future releases.
