This question goes out to all you Follett Destiny users. We just had an online
presentation today with Follett. I was excited to hear about the ability to list
the Fountas & Pinnell levels in the MARC records. But the rep told us they cannot
add that
information - that we would have to take care of it ourselves.
We have Athena now and hope to get our new system up and running over the summer.
Those of you that have Destiny and use the F&P levels - how did you get them in
your MARC records? Did you manually imput them? I imagine that would take a very
long
time. If you did manually imput them - where did you get the information? Do you
have a contract with Fountas & Pinnell? Did you input the levels before moving over
to Destiny or after?
Doesn't Follett have a company they work with for cleaning up and enhancing MARC
records before transferring everything over? For example, in our meeting with the
Alexandria rep he told us that a lot of our MARC record problems could be worked
out with
Mitinet through Alexandria. What did you do as far as cleaning up your records
before you switched to Destiny?
Thanks!
