Bulletins is joining the makeover! Have you checked out the Bulletins beta yet?
Tip of the Week
Barcodes, symbology, and MARC… oh my! You have questions, we have answers. Here’s your one-stop- shop with common information needed when ordering items from vendors.
Last week, we went over damage codes and how to set them up. This week we are going into more detail about using the DL command in circulation.
There’s a pile of damaged books at the counter, and Miss Honey decided it’s time to set up damage codes. Damage codes are perfect for when you want to charge a damage fee, but the item is still in working condition or can be easily repaired. So, how do you do it?
Miss Honey just set some new policies for her library, but she doesn’t remember how to assign them.
Policies are important because they establish rules that regulate how library resources are used by your patrons, including how items circulate, how long items can be checked out, how much overdue fines cost, whether an item can leave the building, and more.
But how can you assign them once they are created?
The school is closed due to severe winter storms, and Miss Honey realizes there will be lots of overdue books that couldn’t be returned due to the unexpected closure. Time to recompute the due date!
Miss Honey has all of her librarians trying out the new Alexandria Reports beta, and they have some questions! Let’s go over it together, shall we?
Have you wished you could limit ‘your’ ebooks to students searching your site? Maybe you don’t want the middle schoolers seeing the high school titles, or you have limited e-copies and want to make sure they are available for students at your school. Well, now you can!
The library is for everyone! Alexandria is accessibility-friendly, and there are a lot of ways you can adapt and customize your setup for you and your patrons.
Right before winter break is a busy time in the library–that’s why Miss Honey saves time with keyboard shortcuts! If you’re not on the keyboard shortcut train yet, now’s your chance. They are the gift that keeps on giving!
