There are times when you'll want to add information into Alexandria from outside sources (such as MARC records, book vendors, or patron information from a central database). The process of adding information into Alexandria from outside sources is called “importing”. Our software supports the importation of patron, item, and transaction command information.
Make sure that your current data is archived prior to performing any data input. Once an import has been performed, there is no way to roll it back other than restoring to an archive.
