Attention LibGuides Users: these and other Follett videos are available for addition to your websites as a RILINK Managed Asset. Check out all the options at https://guides.rilinkschools.org/rmcontent.

Apps are now available in Google Play (Destiny Discover) and Apple Apps (Destiny Discover and Destiny Read).

In the demo, the checked in item is on Hold for someone at the owning library.  At the end of the video, the status shows as available because the Hold was deleted.

Please note that

  • these "Returning" items do not show up in the Holds/ILL lists
  • to be checked in at another library, items actually have to have a "checked out" status at the owning library

 

Students can now place Holds for Titles in the Simplified Interface in Destiny Discover for local and ILL titles with the right parameters set in Back Office.
Two areas must be addressed in Back Office to accomplish this: Library Policies & Access Levels.
In Library Policies/ Patron Types make sure the Max number of Holds reflects at least 1 or the Student will not see the option to place a Hold.
