What is Destiny
Destiny was piloted by six schools in Charleston County School District in 2007-08: Laurel Hill Primary, Pinckney Elementary, Cario Middle, Wando High and West Ashley High. Basically it is the upgrade from Follett CircCat and allows sharing of all the library catalogs across the district through one server – it is web based. One of the best features is that it is so easy to catalog any item because we can get MARC records from both Alliance Plus and Z.39 sources such as Library of Congress. This means that access to our collection will be greatly improved for all users because of the enhancements. There are tons of other great features such as Title Peek that shows the cover of the book on the catalog, customizable reports and direct import of patrons from the SASI database. And did I mention Curriculum Standards searching? It will be worth the headache.
Getting Started | Comment (1)The Implementation Team
Destiny has arrived more quickly than we might have expected. I hope that the “Implementation Team,” as we are called will be able to make this conversion to the new Follett Software as painless as possible.The link for the 6 pilot schools destiny pages is http://destiny.charleston.k12.sc.us Destiny is available only within the CCSD firewall, but take a look if you want. When you have your own school site, you will have a log in and see many more tabs for cataloging and reports. The Implementation Team is Connie Dopierala, Camellia Harris, Christine Harley, Marcia Russo, Kate Walsh, Laura Judson and Susan Henley
