Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Switching to Destiny

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

Feel free to check out the information on our website
for Destiny.

My media specialists do not enter records directly
into Destiny -- they load them or create them in MARC
Magician -- then they load into Destiny
Makes for a much cleaner catalog.

You can twek the import features on how records load
We do that at the district office.

We also have stand templates for various materials --
I have not finished posting yet but feel free to look
at these as well.
