[CASL-L] Destiny Resource Manager Feedback

[STEPHANIE PATTERSON]

You can inventory chromebooks or anything else you want to track loans for by creating a new category for equipment- we use it for chromebooks we loan out, and chargers (it's a huge part of library business post pandemic) and it costs nothing extra- I use the same bar codes that the tech dept uses for their own inventory system- works really well here.

Our school looked into this when we went 1:1 post COVID.  They wanted to input all of the chromebooks.  Ultimately they decided NOT to go with Destiny as it was too expensive.  They ended up using another product.  I can ask if you are interested?

I would highly recommend, if you do go with this idea of cataloging EVERYTHING - that department heads are given scanners so that you don't have to handle inventory for the entire school.

Hi everyone,

We are looking into Destiny Resource Manager for our middle school and high school to manage items such as textbooks, calculators, possibly musical instruments, and more. My superintendent wanted to gather feedback, before purchasing and rolling out the application, about how other libraries use it and how do they manage the time requirement needed of teachers? He is nervous that teachers may be apposed to it because of extra work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Eric
