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? 

Resource Lists Part 2

Create a list. Look at the bottom of the list. Check ‘Show notes’ and you have a bibliography with the book summary. This one is sorted by Title then Author. There are other sort options.

This list can promote new books!  Put the books on display with a few copies of the lists you’ve created for teachers or students to use.  A new book promotion for teachers with a morning snack will get them into the library. Let me know when and I'll be there too. Books and bagels..mmmm.

 

 

Student Resource Lists

Students can use Resource Lists to keep track of books they want to read. Of course, lists can be made for school projects, but kids can use Resource Lists for pleasure reading. I can make a list at the public library..why not the school library?  

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

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.
