Miss Honey and her staff are having a back-to-school book fair, and are looking for a way to get the word out to patrons, teachers, and parents. What better way than by building a Bulletin Board in Alexandria!
Tip of the Week
Now that September is here and we’re officially settling into our back to school routines, let’s review some of our favorite beginning-of-year tips.
The beginning of a new school year is a great time to refresh and expand your knowledge of how to utilize Alexandria, and there’s no better way than with your very own virtual librarian!
Miss Honey wants to set up kiosks for patrons using the library’s Chromebooks. With kiosks, patrons can use Search, Self-Service, and Activity, without being able to do anything else on that device.
It’s the beginning of the year, and Miss Honey wants to start the year at her new library with a standardized format for call numbers. She knows that she can use utilities to modify the call number prefix, but how can she update the entire call number, or other title record information in one go?
Enter: exports and imports!
The school year has just started and Miss Honey realizes that all the patrons are coming up with an expired alert. Has this ever happened to you? Rather than renewing the patrons manually in Circulation, lets review some better options. Don’t worry- it’s an easy fix!
Here we are again at the start of another school year. We’ve got all the info you need to start off right in Alexandria.
When you hear “bookmark,” your first thought is probably some fun bookmark design to give out to patrons, and hopefully avoid the dreaded dog-eared pages. But bookmarks in your internet browser can be a super handy tool!
Whether for a reading program or to see what the next book is in the series, chances are you’ve had patrons asking about previous titles they checked out. Did you know that your patrons can access their own reading history through Researcher?
Another school year is coming to a close, and there is so much to do! Don’t worry, we’ve got all the links you need right here for a smooth EOY.
