Glasgow High School Library Achieves Its Destiny
Anyone who remembers the library card catalog will be amazed at the 21st century version that
now exists in Glasgow High School and throughout the
Christina School District. Mary Jo Hunter, GHS
librarian, has moved our library into a
totally web-based system that students and
parents can access from any computer. Students,
working through their librarian, can request a book from any
library in the Christina School District and have it
delivered to their school.
The new program, called Destiny, is now
operational. It allows users to power search by topics
or by words within titles as well as by the more traditional
means of titles and authors. Students can assemble
book lists of their own as they work on projects, and
Destiny will even help them format their entries for their
Works Cited lists for research papers.
This powerful program is updated every
night, making information extremely recent. One
warning: circulation is blocked if a user has an
overdue book!
