To know the total number of patrons in Alexandria, click on the ‘?‘ icon located in the top right corner of the program. Then, select ‘About Alexandria‘. This will provide you with the current number of patrons and also inform you about the number of patrons that you are allowed to have based on your current license.
You can automate end-of-year due dates using Calendar and Policy preferences in Alexandria. To set a period due date please follow the steps below:
Keep in mind that Alexandria will not change the due date after an item has been checked out. It’s best to establish these dates at the beginning of the year before any items have been checked out, and then review them again at the end of the year to ensure they are still accurate.
To add an Operator, you need to create their record in the Patrons Management just like you would for any other patron. Then, you should grant the new operator the appropriate access permissions by navigating to the Access tab and adjusting the security settings. If you’re unsure about which access permissions to assign, please refer to Security.
Remember If you select the Librarian Security group or a higher level, the account will need to have an email address associated with it. In addition to reviewing the security groups page, please also see our Password Management Best Practices.
