This is our "Destiny"!

Just last year all four elementary schools upgraded to the web-based program Follett Destiny, and my fourth graders have been reviewing how to use this online catalog, or "OPAC", to look up library materials.  I've been bringing some of the school's laptops into the library for them to use during book look.  They start off working in pairs, and then each can have access to the system by using either a laptop or one of the library's ten desktop computers.  The students enjoy conducting searches and finding their materials independently! 


If you'd like to explore the system yourself, you can visit http://opac.chariho.k12.ri.us/.
After you click on "Ashaway" be sure to click on "Destiny Quest" over to the left.  This will bring you to the visual interface that the students have been using!
