Features
- Users can type in partial search criteria and after a few seconds, Alexandria will automatically perform the search or users can hit Return and perform the search immediately.
- A single word performs a full spectrum search, toggling between different search types (e.g. Authors, Titles, etc.).
- Clickable icons in the Explore interface allows you to emphasize assets such as Most Popular (highly circulated titles), What's New? (recent additions), and Award Winners (books of prestigious accolade).
- Using post-Filters, you can refine your search results by limiting your fields to “author”, “series”, “medium”, and more.
- Multiple, expanded views for search results; virtually browse your shelves, cover by cover, without leaving your chair; smoothly scroll through the very first call number to the last.
- Comprehensive title details provide quick access to important information including, but not limited to: Lexiles, study programs, reading levels, interest codes, point counts, digital media, operator-approved websites, eBooks, and other uncommon resources.
- Save titles for later by dragging and dropping them into the default Temp List or a patron-created Saved List—a place for your patrons to virtually store lists of items they'd like to check out in the near or distant future.
- A supervised review system that allows patrons to publish and share their opinions while giving library administrators the ability to oversee and manage content.
