We’ve added the ability to export circulation from Textbook Tracker so you can import that information into other systems or a spreadsheet for advanced analysis.

We've added a lot of cool new features over the year.

Tell us how the updated Copy List, Patron Details, Item Details, and more are working for you!

New & Improved

Activity

Renamed the term “reason” to “activity” for clarity. This means a few minor edits were made to the button labels in
Activity Preferences and the Activity Summary report.

Circulation

Fixed the QP command, which brings up the print dialog/preview for Patron Details.

Corrected a bug that was causing the Include Cover Art checkbox to not appear in Patron Details.

Improved Copy Statistics to show more Previous Checkouts. Now you can go back further in history to see who had that item at a certain time.

Items

Searching by Copy Location/Shelving will now return all applicable results.

Fixed a browser error that was popping up when editing subjects.

Preferences

Fixed an issue that made the Next Item Barcode preference blank.

If you notice this problem in your database, please call Customer Support and they will help you fix it.

Reports

Corrected some text overlap in the Coming Due Items Notice report.

Fixed the %SITEADDRESS% variable tag in the Account Introduction report’s email format.

Patron reports sorted by grade no longer display blank entries.

Researcher

Patrons with an apostrophe in their last name (e.g. O’Malley) can now place reservations.

System

Improved performance and reliability.

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.
