Do You Have _________ in the Library?
Here are some easy steps for checking:
Step 1: Navigate to your Destiny Library Catalog - you can do this by going to destiny.boiseschools.org or finding the link in MyApps
Step 2: Search for the title, author or subject in the search bar on the Catalog tab (Destiny is very picky, spelling counts!)
Step 3: If the title pops up, look to the right and you'll see if it's available or not. Click on the Title or the 1 of 1 Available for more information on the book.
Want a really amazing experience? Try logging into the catalog.
Click on the Log In button in the top right. Use the traditional Log in Using Destiny link near the bottom and use your badge number for both your username and password, or many classroom teachers can now use the Google Single Sign On.
- Now that you're signed in you can search the IMC for novel sets and book them in advance.
- Found the book you were looking for? Put it on hold! The librarian will receive the notification and pull the book for you.
- Create Resource Lists to save your favorite books by their Unit or Lesson name to use in the future.
