This year we adapted a brand new product to
operate our library circulation, it's called
Destiny.
Destiny is a web based product -- which has opened up a whole new
world for us at EDS!
-
One of the great things about this
product is the ability for students to connect to some awesome web links -
and they can do it from their own home.
-
Destiny not only
lets students know which library materials are available at their library,
but it also directs them to websites previewed by educators for their chosen
topic.
-
For example, recently we had a small group
of seventh graders researching DNA. When they searched on the topic, they
not only found books in our library, but they were also given links called
"WebPath Express."
-
Often there are several links on the
topic, in the case of the DNA search, they were given 4 links.
-
Each of those for links (ex: "DNA
Fingerprints") takes them to a list of websites on that specific topic along
with the appropriate grade level range.
