Order in the Library Flash Game

This post has nothing to do with Destiny. A game for sorting and shelving books is linked below. Users enter a first and last name then pick an animal avatar. It is juvenile...and fun!
When you click on the link you will be taken to the Way Back Machine website. Just click on the "Impatient?" icon  and you'll be directed to the game.

Destiny Digital Resources - new partner for Lesson Plans

 

In your Destiny catalog, the Digital Resource tab has Curriki configured. Results can be viewed by logged- in teachers because Curriki is a collection of lesson plans. Keyword searches works best. Please be aware that results load a little slower under the Digital Resources tab than books and websites in Destiny. Your patience will be rewarded with hundreds of lesson plans. FYI, curriki works with Academic Benchmarks for standards correlation.

Let us know what your teachers think of this new partnership with Destiny.

 

 

Request multiple copies in Five Systems!

Multiple copies can be ordered by using the Request & Repeat button at the bottom of the page. This button will submit your request and reload the request page. When the request page is reloaded, the two note fields will maintain their values from the previous page but will be editable. The schools that you have already requested from will be removed from the list.

Here's a few tips from users Lisa Osur and Mary Anne Walker. Put the borrowers name in your 'notes' area. When you send the book back, put the date shipped and the barcode in the lenders note area. The lending library will know the book is on it's way back. All your data will be right there in Five Systems!
When you put the title into Destiny in Circulation (as a temp record) type the title in ALL CAPS and you can even note the lending library or books condition in the Author area.
New instructions, including step-by-step Destiny ones, have been updated here.

Tune-up your teacher records

Welcome Back!

Staff patron records are handled differently than student data. For most districts, it is the library's responsibility to update teacher information. This brief video (under 5 minutes) will help.
