Pandemic Best Practices

The sudden closure of schools across the country in mid-March and the resulting pivot to distance learning has meant that the role of school librarian has shifted into a whole new gear. Certainly, the picture looks different from district to district and even school to school, but the American Association of School Librarians has been staying in touch with its membership in a number of ways, including a periodic survey that offers a snapshot of what the school librarian’s work looks like during the pandemic.

During the past several months, Follett has invested tremendous energy into rolling out Follett Destiny® 18.0 and launching our new app, Follett Destiny Discover®. The improvements in the software and the app provide enhanced access to your school’s library content and the ability for educators, students, and parents to use resources wherever they are. 

Destiny Open APIs (Developer's Guide)

The Follett Destiny® Open APIs provide a way for application developers to interact with the Follett Destiny® application server using a series of RESTful web services. (As of Follett Destiny® 16.5, the Destiny Open APIs are in beta.)

Inventory Power in the Palm of Your Hand

Whether it’s from school-to-school, classroom-to-classroom, or school-to-home with students, resources move around a lot during a school year. With the end of another year right around the corner, it’s time to find out what you still have in your schools, and what may be missing or misplaced. The Inventory feature in Follett Destiny® makes it quick and easy to tell you what books and materials you have, and where they are (or should be).
