Medium Vol.32 #3 Arrives in today's mail!
The Medium arrived today. The focus was Be the Link - For Student Success. I'm always in awe of the work that Alice, the editor, does to make each issue happen. I enjoyed browsing through the articles: Information about Puget Sound Council, small schools, T-L's part in K-12 education, Spokane moms, and more! I especially liked the article from our youngest correspondent (Sarah's baby). I was also reminded that I need to register for October's Joint Conference.
Destiny Training
My district, Edmonds, will be using Follett's Destiny circulation system beginning this year. We are saying so long to Winnebago! Yesterday and today half of use attended training (the other 1/2 train next week). We learned how to complete basic tasks and set up patron & material types. We also learned about the many reports we can print.
I think that my students and staff will like this new system. I especially like how lists can be created by myself and teachers and then shared with users. I'm also excited about having one search so students can search not only our catalog, but also our purchased data bases. It was fun to see many of my fellow librarians and meet some of the newer librarians in the district.
Now the challenge is to make everything work!
