We need access for resource-sharing use. Is this possible with the Alexandria software? https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3371840861 2025-03-18 20:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3371840861 Explore Databases vs. Library.FYI https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373100100 Which product will be available for use?

For example, if I have a volunteer checking out books, could we turn off their ability to discard books? https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373187128 2025-03-19 14:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373187128 Is there a way to view all student photos in a homeroom at once? Sometimes our kindergarteners have trouble telling us their names (or articulating them) at the beginning of the year :) https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373196900 2025-03-19 14:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373196900 Resource Lists https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373200560 Is there a comparable feature to resource lists in Destiny?

It would be even better if it was also the call number. Right at the top of the image. Just to make it as clear as possible for our younger patrons.

Specifically, list of books for certain projects, displays, etc. https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373431861 2025-03-19 16:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373431861 When students place a ILL hold, do they have to choose the school to pickup?

]]> 2025-03-19 16:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373444230 Can you do an ILL search and request only for your district vs all Boces? https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373448783 2025-03-19 16:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373448783 OPAC Lesson Plans https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373459726 I have created from scratch all my lesson plans to go with Follett Destiny Discover. With the new migration, is there a place that offers lesson plans for students at all levels to help train students with the new system. It would be a huge time saver.

]]> 2025-03-19 17:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373459726 Would it be helpful to purchase a receipt printer to print hold slips?

In Follett, all my primary books are under Easy Materials in Follett. Could you use Scout and just have these materials show availability?

]]> 2025-03-19 17:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373527327 Follow up https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373547783 After today, besides going back and sharing with our teams and admin.and cleaning up our records by June 30th, is there anything we need to do?

]]> 2025-03-19 18:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373547783 Will student holds continue to have expiration dates and can that be changed in the new system? https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373548476 2025-03-19 18:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373548476 Clean up https://padlet.com/crbsls/alexstaffqs/wish/3373548752 As far a cleaning up records and such prior to migration, should resource book lists be cleaned up too?
