Resource Lists You can copy existing Resource Lists, share ownership of a Resource List (multiple owners/co-owners), switch Resource Lists in Quest, reassign ownership of a Resource List (move the list before you delete the patron), and share lists across the district.

Winter Storm Warning

When enough snow accumulates and you get a SNOW DAY, set the Destiny calendar as ‘closed’ for that day and due dates will re-calculate. Back Office>Calendar

Destiny & Chrome

We’ve received questions about Destiny and Chrome recently. There is no sound in circulation module when using Chrome. One library discovered that barcodes printed in Chrome didn’t work well. You'll find that some databases set up in One Search won't display when using Chrome. Follett recommends using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari.

The Library

Jonathan Glancy wrote an article for BBC Culture "Temples of books: The world’s most beautiful libraries".
http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20131113-the-most-spectacular-libraries. The slide show at the link shows beautiful libraries around the world.  
He mentions a new book The Library by James W. P. Campbell & Will Pryce published last month.

‘In a lavish tribute to the architecture of libraries, the culture of learning and our ever-changing relationship with the written word from ancient to medieval modern, this great book is itself a rich library’- Saga Magazine
