*Greetings & Welcome Back…!
*...About, “Your Destiny!”
Can We Talk…?

What Has Changed?
*Today’s Topics…
• BCPSOne Card & Destiny• Speeding Up Circulation AND Respecting Reader Privacy•Destiny 12.0 Enhancements•New …Universal Search

out In DestinyScan The BCPS
One Card!
*Patron Cards Made Easy…!
*The Details…
1. Make Sure The Check Has Been Removed From The
ONLY SEARCH Box!2. The Cursor Is Located In The FIND Field Before Scanning!
*A Few More Details• Older Library Cards Will Still Work!
• The Scanner Used Is NOT Important!
• Be Sure To Scan The ENTIRE Barcode On The BCPS One Card!
• The Barcode On The BCPS One Card Represents The Patron’s DISTRICT ID!
• This Is NOT The Destiny User Name !
• The Card CANNOT Be Used For Logging In To Destiny!
• So… How Cool Is That?
*Speeding Up Circulation…
…While Respecting Reader Privacy!
*Circulation Speed…
• There Has Been Much Discussion About Circ Speed!
• Lots Of Ideas On The “Table”!
• Some Good / Some Not So Good!
• Another Consideration To This Topic…
• Reader Privacy!
*During Check Out……Destiny Displays A Lot Of
Information!
*I’m Just Say’in• Maybe This Information
Should NOT Be Displayed On Your Promethean Board…
• (…So You Can See Your Circ Desk From Across The Room…?)
• Maybe You Don’t Want A Student Helper Monitoring Your Circ Screen At Your Desk…
• (So They Can Catch Any Circ Errors For You, While You Use Your Wireless Scanner…?)
• **Not To Mention – Wireless Scanners Are Expensive & Temperamental!
*Maybe It’s Just As Simple To Empower Patron Self-Circulation
• Turn Your Desk Monitor Around…
• Get A Wireless Keyboard & Mouse…
• Move Your Wired Scanner Out Front…
• All Students Have A Library Card…
• Let Each Circulate As Ready…
• Train Them To STOP On The Bad Sound…
• Listen While They Scan…
• Train Them To RESET When Finished…
Click RESET To Clear Their Information Before Leaving
The Circulation Station.
* Destiny Circulation ONLY Stations Can Also Be Configured For Easy To Use,
Extra Capacity!
