Last year I taught the students how to use Follett Destiny. I gave them their barcodes and allowed them to create their own accounts. There was some difficulty, and as we only have 2 catalog computers in the Library, having a class of 20 kids (the largest class last year) all try and make accounts and navigate the program in 40 minutes was a challenge.
So this year I made a handout for them. I took screen shots and gave step-by-step instructions on how to use the Catalog. We’ll try it this week and see how successful it is.
I’ve uploaded a PDF of the document. If anyone wants a copy to use, email me and we can arrange for it to be modified for your Library.

Hi Peter!
Thank you for the document explaining how to create your own acct. on Destiny. I think it’s a great idea. What age groups do you recommend have Destiny accts.? I am the librarian in a PreK – Grade 12 school. I’d like to do this with grades 2-8, I think. Thanks again for a great idea!
