Destiny+apps

=From Catalog Card Drawers to the Web - in three easy apps=

The first app is **Destiny Quest**, which gives teachers and students the ability to look for resources - We're not talking just books any more! They can share titles found by email, text message, Twitter, Facebook, or by copying and pasting the link into a document. Users can also place a hold on a book; put it onto one of three bookshelves - Reading, Have Read, Want to Read. They can rate and post a review ("comment") about a resource. With the "My List" users can build lists of resources to look for on the library shelves. This app facilitates collaboration among teachers and sharing among students in a 21 century fashion.

**Follett Destiny** is an app that lets the librarian take the circulation desk with her/him to any location in the school – extremely useful!

If the first two apps seemed to do everything but take the book off the shelf and read it, the third app comes close. **Follett Enlight K-12 Edition** is a reader for the school library’s electronic books (those ordered from Follett). This app is integrated with Follett Shelf, the management system for ebooks within the library catalog. The reader provides capability for highlighting and taking notes. The video, created by a Red Clay library aide, is: [|Iris and Izzledore Discover FollettShelf]

Information about Follett's integrated library system and particularly the apps maybe be found at: [|Follett]There is an extensive array of guides and instructional materials to help teachers and students learn about the Destiny apps at: [|Guides]

When one wants to have the classic library view on his/her iPad, a QR code can be used to go directly to the school or district library portal.

 Here is the Red Clay Destiny portal code, for example:

The library can then be accessed and used as though one were using a desktop or laptop.
