We’re pleased to announce that a new release of Soprano is available for you to preview. This release delivers improvements in the Item Holdings display and automatically generates barcode check digits.

Shelfmarks in Item Holdings

Shelfmarks are now displayed in Item Holdings. We have also separated Site and Status into separate columns. This provides important information supporting the work of roaming librarians. 

Auto-generate barcode check digits

Following the same rules as in Alto, Soprano can now add the correct check digit to a scanned or typed barcode.
