Book Reviews + teacher collaboration
Teachers can be given rights to approve book reviews- a great way to collaborate. To change a teacher's Access Level, log in as library administrator. Find their record, edit, and use the drop down to select 'Teacher with Book Review'.

Resource Lists Part 3
You can add owners, copy, and email Resource Lists.
Co-owners can be from your building or the district. Librarians can work on Resource Lists with teachers, students and other librarians.
The Transfer Ownership option lets you make Lists available to more people. You can share Resource Lists with other schools in the district. If you view a List that is particularly useful, you can copy that List and make it one of your own. This is much easier than manually creating a copy. You are able to copy any List you can view. Sharing Lists lets teams of teachers or students collaborate on the creation of a Resource List and co-own it. This shared List can be private, public, local, or district-wide.
Library administrators can reassign the ownership of a public Resource List to another local user. In addition, you now have the option to publish Resource Lists across the district, share a Resource List by adding co-owners, copy your own Resource List to start another, and copy another user’s public Resource List and use it as your own.
How many of you have emailed a Resource List to a teacher?

Inactive Patrons - it is time to go.
November is a good time to remove outdated student records from Destiny. Students that are no longer in the district need to be deleted. The SIS (Student Information System like Infinite Campus or School Tool ) adds student records, but cannot remove data. Destiny is not set up to remove inactive patrons, which means each library is responsible for deleting their inactive patrons. More information is here: http://www.monroe2boces.org/SLS.cfm?subpage=2582
