I agree the default Destiny homepage is somewhat lame. I also wish they would have
an option we could select that would enable students to go directly to the catalog
tab. A lot of my kids get confused when they see the homepage and don't understand
they have to click on the "Catalog" tab. It's annoying. Widgets would make things
more interesting.

Subject: TAR: Follett's Destiny - how to improve my HOME page?
Is there anyway to make my HOME tab on *Follett's Destiny* more exciting?
Can you embed widgets there?
http://www.isb.rs - library catalog link top of page
We are now set up with Destiny Quest, TitlePeek, Lexile Level searching, Public
book lists, WebPath (educational website search results), and using the "Recommend"
book option. The students and teachers are loving it - but my HOME page is lame.
Thanks,
Jennie
