Localization

Set the language, dates, and currency applicable to your location.

Terminology

Customize various terms in Alexandria to fit your library's needs.

Barcodes

Determine how Alexandria reads patron and item barcodes.

Checkpoint ILS

Configure these settings if you are using the Checkpoint ILS (Intelligent Library System) security system to enhance your SIP2 protocol.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

Authenticate operator and patron program access.

SIP2

Set up SIP2, which makes your library more efficient with enhanced inventory and security features.
