My school has been officially online for 1 week. Amidst the rush to plan and ensure eResources are available for teachers, I have been busy making a video for my students to log into our library catalog. We use Follett Destiny, and recommend teachers and students use the user friendly interface, Destiny Discover. This week’s learnings 2.3 on eResources has brought to mind; How am I going to promote our eBooks?

Simple, though I haven’t done it yet, so hopefully it is as simple as I think. Destiny discover provides a series of tiles displaying covers on the homepage that can be manipulated from the back end by the Teacher Librarian. This can be manipulated to show eBooks, interactive eBooks, what was recently checked in or popular. Now that we are not in a physical space, I can move our eBooks tiles to the top of the screen, and create other tiles, perhaps for grade level or subject. Here’s how it currently looks. I’ll submit another post once I’ve worked on the tiles.
