Highlights


We’ve redesigned our login screen for all newer areas of Alexandria. It’s a little cleaner, a little prettier, and a little more like our Makeover. Your patrons will see this now in Researcher, and you can check it out in Offline, Self-Service, Activity, and all of the Makeover interfaces. 





When importing item files (e.g. from a vendor), you can select multiple files to import at the same time.

On the other hand, sometimes folks accidentally import a file and it causes all sorts of problems. So now there’s a nice little checkbox to make doubly-triply sure you are sure you are ready to import! 


IMPORTANT: There are changes to authentication when using Gmail as your SMTP. Does that sound like something you do? You will need to authenticate. Read more. 

We've updated our Terms of Service to reflect these changes.


Improvements

  • You can place reservations on up to 50 copies at a time when registered for Advanced Bookings. 
  • In the Discarded Copies report, you can now select by Copy Location. This allows you to report on information per location.
  • We support a new sync format through GG4L.

Fixed

Circulation
  • The Daily Operations output wording has been corrected for In-Stock and On-Shelf holds from “Removed” to “Processed.”
Reports
  • Advanced Booking reservations are no longer being canceled.
Export
  • Exporting patrons in Alexandria and Textbook Tracker now correctly exports the patron policy short code.
Textbooks
  • Textbook Tracker item barcodes can now end in alpha characters.
