[CASL-L] Destiny Resource Manager Feedback

[Cheryl Robertson]

Hi Eric,

We use Destiny to manage textbooks.  While it's extra work for the library
assistant and myself, the only extra requirement for the teachers is that
they have the kids come to the library to check out those materials at the
beginning of the school year.  Students walk in carrying their assigned
copy, and we check them out.  We organize which classes come in when, so
that we don't have a glut of students waiting in line.

Setting this up is very time consuming at the beginning because you have to
print and adhere all of the labels on the textbooks, instruments, etc., but
it is efficient once that is done.

I hope that helps.

Best wishes,
Cheryl
