Alexandria's Explore is a visually engaging, graphical interface that uses large, clickable icons to locate items in your collection. The Explore interface is especially helpful for those who can't read or write fluently and find text-based searches difficult (or impossible) to use—simply click a button to perform a search! Additionally, the entire visual interface can be completely customized and used a number of different ways to meet the needs of your library. This includes changing the color scheme of the interface using Alexandria's Styles feature.

To access Alexandria's Explore interface, type the IP address (or domain name), port number, and (optional) serial number of your Data Station followed by “/explore” into your browser's Address field (usually located in the upper-left corner of the window). Refer to Accessing Alexandria for more information.
