Our district just moved to Destiny including WebPath Express in February so we are
still learning. I used it to teach many 3rd-5th grade classes this week and to do
some authentic research for a principal on honor guard for the Tomb of the Unknowns
at Arlington National Cemetery. I am finding more and more to like about it. The
sources are strong and varied. The delineation of grade levels is helpful. Of
course, the K-5 is really upper grades. In searching for a state research project
one of the first sites was Internet Public Library on that state including more
websites within it. Each search I have done so far has many selections. Once logged
in as an individual, a Library Search pulls up the websites as well as the library
holdings on the subject. Without the login only the library holdings show up. With
login, Personal and Public lists can be built of both library materials and WebPath
sites. Citations can be built for you right there and saved to a list also. We keep
finding more and more usable characteristics.

Subject: [librarianship101] TAR:Web Path Express- Destiny
I've seen lots of discussion of Destiny but don't remember anyone talking about
this add on. We are looking very seriously of going to Destiny next year and
finally getting our elementary schools automated and into the 20th century-- yes I
did say that right. I'm interested in hearing from others if this is a worthwhile
add on. Does anyone have any idea how many sites there are? Is the coverage pretty
good over all areas of the curriculum? Is there a good balance between elementary
and secondary site? I did a little looking on Friday but I thought that some of the
sites linked weren't all that great and that the level on them didn;t match the
grade so well ( " bears are prolific... on a K-5 suggest site. I might have just
hit the wrong items but I wondered how those of you who use web path would rank if
versus carefully selected local sites. TIA
