What are some handy transaction log tips?
Jonathan has finished the first book in the Alex Rider series and wants to check out the second. But he says he can’t find it in Researcher or anywhere in the library. Do you really not have the second book?
Have you ever been adding items into Alexandria and realized that series went in the 400/490 fields, instead of the 830 tag like they’re supposed to? This only happens with certain vendors, but don’t get spooked! We’ve go a utility to solve it–the Fix Series utility.
Let’s go through how to make a MARC record template step-by-step.
Miss Honey just purchased a large order of books from a vendor–with new copies of existing titles, and brand new titles. Now she needs to import them into Alexandria so they can be circulated and searched!
