We've improved the In-Stock Hold Notice and In-Stock Holds reports by adding the ability to select by date(s) the items became in-stock.
Time to get excited! We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Mitinet to bring you BestMARC. This MARC data cleanup and supplementation service will take the form of two Alexandria utilities included in a paid add-on. If you're looking to make your catalog more discoverable for your patrons, this will be a great tool to help!
It will be available in January 2021! In the meantime,
Circulation Groups and See & See Also in Authority Control have been removed due to lack of usage and interest.
New & Improved
Operations
Updated FTP import file names to make them easier to identify.
Patrons
Clarified the term "card expiration" by renaming it to “account expiration.” The way it works hasn’t changed, but the term itself has been updated in these places:
Improved accessibility in Browse, including tabbing, voiceovers, and more! This makes it WCAG 2.0 AA compliant.
System
Improved performance and reliability.
Fixed a database issue.
Textbook Tracker
Added Alert Notes to textbook copies. When in use, you’ll receive an alert when that copy is made current in Circulation. Need a reminder to check returned textbooks for CDs or other accessories? Add an alert note!
If you self-host on a Mac, hold off updating your servers to macOS 10.15 Catalina. Alexandria will be 64-bit compatible in a future release. We highly recommend you consider Cloud Hosting.
