If you’re like us, you’ve got a lot of books on your holiday gift list this year! But what’s on your Alexandria wish list? We’ve got tons of great add-ons to enhance the experience using Alexandria that will make it feel like Santa came early this year.
Tip of the Week
Winter break is coming soon, and that means it’s time to make sure books are returned before students leave for the holidays.
You can send email notices to your patrons for an easy way to remind them to bring those books back.
Add a welcome message or important seasonal information like upcoming holiday hours to your Researcher home page.
Brand your Researcher hub for a seamless transition between your school’s website and Researcher. Your students will know they’re on the right page.
When an item is lost or discarded, you may want it to remain in your database for a period of time. If you don’t want patrons to see these items in the meantime, the solution is simple with Alexandria’s Auto-Hide feature.

The new and improved Search is officially out of beta, and it’s the perfect time for a review and a tour! For example, did you know that Researcher has five different ways to search? Empower your patrons to level up their searching game and utilize your library.
