Alexandria is integrated with Mackin's web-based collection management tool. This functionality allows operators to automatically export their data from Alexandria in MARC format and have it uploaded to Mackin for review.
Operators will want to use Mackin to review their catalog to see what copies and titles should be replaced, and how much it will cost to do so using their book vendor service.
This functionality also allows operators to link directly to Mackin's online book ordering system. A single sign-in solution allows operators to automatically authenticate their Mackin online account and immediately start shopping.
An operator can export their data from Alexandria in MARC format, either manually or automatically, depending on their Mackin vendor Tools settings in Alexandria.
The following settings are used when adding Mackin records to your database. Alexandria checks for new purchases to import on a daily basis.
Mackin's web-based collection management tool will analyze your exported catalog, determine which titles and copies should be replaced, and how much it will cost to do so using their online book vendor service.
Under the Contact tab, you may fill out contact information for your Mackin representative.
