We had Destiny at my last school which was K - 5. The students had 9 digit
ID numbers. All the students grades 2 - 5 knew their numbers and used them
successfully. By January most of the 1st graders knew their numbers. By
the end of the year I was letting Kdg students type in their numbers on a
keypad. They can do it. It helped that they used their number in the
computer lab as well as the cafeteria.
When students forgot their numbers we had a book with barcodes at the desk
arranged by homeroom. At my present school we paste the barcodes on the
front page of the student agendas.

Subject: Question regarding Destiny
Hello to all,
Our district has recently decided to go with a district wide circulation
system and we have chosen Destiny. We are still in the set up phase of this
but one question has arisen that is causing slight panic in our media
specialists. Our schools are all small and because of this we have always
just assigned our students a simple to remember patron id number that they
use to check out books. The student gives the number; we type it in and then
scan their books. With Destiny we will be using the student's district
number which is 10 digits long. There is no way our students can remember a
10 digit number, especially at our elementary school level. So my question
is this; how do you check out books using Destiny? Do you make each student
a library card that they have to carry around with them? What do you do?
Thanks in advance and I will post a hit if anyone would like me to.
Thanks,
