Circulation Notes

• Exporting records will create a copy of your database and will not interrupt your circulation.
• Changes to the records will be seen once you import the records back into your library automation system.

Export Instructions

1. Open Alexandria to the Circulation window
2. Click on Tools and choose Export. The Exports window will appear.
3. Choose Titles and select Export Titles
4. Set the following options for export:
   • Operation: MARC
   • Sort By: Title Call Number
   • Character Set: MARC-8
   • Select By: All Titles

   

5. Click on Run to start the export.
6. The Operation Management window will appear providing the status of the export.
7. Click on the button to download the records.
   MARC Wizard users should save the file in C:\Program Files\MARC Wizard\MARC Wizard Data\<toolname> Data\ where <toolname> is the name of the MARC Wizard tool you are running.

Once you have exported your records, do not add, change, or delete any records from your database until after your records have been updated and you have brought the updated records back into your database.

After you have finished making modifications to your records, make sure you follow the Update Existing instructions to get your records back into your automation system (not the Import New instructions).
