Tacoma School District has been using Destiny since July 2007. Overall we have had a good experience and most of the problems that we have encountered have eventually been resolved. Someone mentioned that they have a need to multi-task with Destiny and because the System won't let them use tabs they are unable to do what they want. I have surmounted that problem with the help of Destiny Tech Support. Although you will get System Errors when you open multiple windows (or multiple tabs) for Destiny in one browser, you can open multiple browsers. (Tech support did stipulate that they must be different brand browsers; not the same browser.) I daily have Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator, and Internet Explorer open while I catalog. I use Firefox to look up an item by ISBN in Add Title, Navigator to search the title in Library Search, and on occasion I have IE open to handle calls from librarians who need a database change. I prefer this to jumping back and forth because I frequently need to compare the A+ record to a record that I find by title in the general Library Search. I can work in one browser while my Spine/Pocket Label report is printing. It works very well and there are no more System Errors. There doesn't seem to be a problem with being logged in 3 times. When I click Save in each of these browsers the change is accessible from all three browsers (although I have to search again to see the change). Added records show in my Print Resource list in all three browsers. I suppose, if you needed to do more multi-tasking, you could download Opera, Safari, or Google Chrome in addition to the other three. There are probably even more browsers out there, but three is enough for me. Well, good luck. I hope this helps some of you.
