To find your license and system information, go to the help menu in the topnav and click About Alexandria. This will show you your patron/item count and how many you have left in your license.
Note that system patrons count towards license totals.
The ten additional patrons you see are default System Patrons in Alexandria. These specific patrons cannot be removed, but they can be very helpful to you and your library. To learn more about System Patrons, please visit our System Patrons support center page.
See our Alignment Troubleshooting tips. Specifically, make sure your scaling is set to 100% or Actual Size in your PDF reader. Also, you’ll want to make sure you’re using the correct type of labels for the barcode report you’re using.
Start by exporting the necessary data from your student information system (SIS) in a tab-delimited text format. This file can be imported into Alexandria Librarian to add new patron records and update any existing patron records simultaneously.
Take a look at Inventory and watch our Inventory Workshop.
This isn’t necessary. It may help you to keep things organized, but Alexandria is flexible enough to allow you to create any number of sessions that are staggered over whatever time period needed. Some people use this feature to slowly inventory throughout the school year.
Only the items specified by your session’s Call Number Range that were not scanned. Be very wary of this feature if you chose the session option to inventory the Entire Collection instead of a Call Number range.
Performing a full inventory is easy with the help of Alexandria’s Inventory Helper. You can access all the necessary inventory information on our free online support center, HERE. Additionally, we highly recommend checking out our YouTube channel HERE to view short videos that provide more helpful tips on inventorying your collection.
