[CASL-L] Any way to integrate search with Sora and Destiny?

Good Morning:)

Our MARC records from SORA/Overdrive get added to Destiny so when students
do a search every format of a title available shows up. I teach students to
do a search in Destiny if they aren't sure what they are looking for, but
if they know they want an ebook or audiobook of a specific title, I have
them search in Sora:)

Also, I am working on creating shelf talkers
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_NXsyyRvc2mK94WekVY0v-WBib-3hqzpVfXnbh5xNR8/edit?usp=sharing>
for all the titles we have available in digital form.  It's a big file, but
feel free to make a copy and hyperlink titles from your collection.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, I am happy to chat with
you. If there is widespread interest, we could offer some type of PD
through CASL too:)

Have a great day,
Melissa
