Re: [LM_NET] Question regarding Destiny

[Martin Swist <mswist@ASIJ.AC.JP>]

Hello to those of us with a shared Destiny,
 
We will be making the switch from Spectrum to Destiny soon. I am a little more 
confused than usual by the discussion on students' long ID numbers as the entry 
into the Destiny circulation program. Can you not access a student by his/her last 
name in the circulation system? TIA.
 
Best regards,

Subject: [LM_NET] 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,
