How to create a ‘static’ link for a Resource List or Visual Search button

1.      Do not log in to Destiny

2.      Use the traditional (classic) catalog

3.      Select a public resource list or visual search

4.      Copy the URL in the web address bar

Use the copied url. Add ‘& and your catalog site number’ at the end.

What’s a site umber? The number indicates the order of installation during Destiny installation. The first library installed in your district has the site number 100, the second has number 101. You can figure it out by testing the url with 100, then 101, etc. The ones that take you to the district’s catalog are NOT your site number. You can reply to this email and I’ll send you the site number. You can also email lat@monroe2boces.org for the information.

This is a url to a Resource List “Common Core 4^th and 5^th Grade” at Craig Hill Elementary.
