What's the difference?

Search is when your patrons know the terms they want to look for. 

Browse is when you don't really know what you want.

Explore provides a powerful graphical interface to your Alexandria collection. The interface uses pictures and icons to help patrons who do not yet read proficiently to find what they need in the collection. Often like a librarian-customized browse, for Collections or more. 

Scout is a cute, straightforward interface perfect for younger kids or anybody who doesn't want all the bells and whistles of Search.
