Best Practices

Equipment: Alexandria is perfect for inventorying and circulating equipment!  Depending upon how you circulate your equipment, you will need to do some planning before you start the process.

Homerooms: There are two methods that use homerooms and you will need to consider whether you are a "mouse" person or a "scanner" person and the amount of speed that these two methods provide for you.

Periodicals: To decide what is the best practice for your situation when dealing with periodicals, you must first make the decision of what you are going to do with them. 

Statistics & Policies: Alexandria has many statistical report options available.  The Super Summary details an amazing amount of statistical data about your collection -- number of titles and copies, value, number or lost and discarded copies, collection age, and collection usage -- by call number, item policy, and medium.

Withdrawals: When you withdraw an item, there are many things to consider.

"I've been pleased with Alexandria ever since we bought the program. Tech support has been great and I like the fact that I can call at all hours, even when working late and get a human to help me."
