It is the responsibility of Library Media Services to add all title records to Destiny Library Manager.
When we add equipment to the catalog, we use a general title for each type of equipment.
We are using the title Media Tablet for all handheld touchscreen devices.
In the Subtitle field, enter item’s name and model.
In the Authors field enter, the manufacturer of the media tablet.
These three details will be the basic information for the item.
If you do not find a title record that matches the media tablet you are adding, you MUST email Sandy Mann (sandy.mann@palmbeachschools.org) and let her know to add another media tablet title. Please provide her with the model and manufacturer of the media tablet. She will add the “Title Record” to Destiny Library Manager after which you will be able to add your “copies.”
| Call Numbers | A call number is a group of numbers and/or letters put together to tell you where in the library to find an item. Library Media Services requires that all equipment call numbers begin with AV followed by a space. The convention we are suggesting is: AV iPad A1 AV iPad A2, etc. AV is the call number prefix iPad is the name of the equipment A indicates the cart (if you are using one or more carts) 1 indicates the first iPad in the cart. |
| Circulation Types | Circulation Types are classifications of library materials that allow you to have different loan policies for different materials. You can also limit searches, reports, and notices by Circulation Type. The library media specialist will add the circulation type of Media Tablet to Circulation Types in Library Policies in Destiny Library Manager. This will allow for more precise reports to be generated in Destiny and for the items to be inventoried easily based on circulation type. You can set up Circulation Types in Library Policies in the Back Office, selecting a loan period, grace period, the number of allowable renewals, and fine amounts (if any). |
