[ISLMA-Share] Class Book Recommendations

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Do you use Follet's Destiny as your catalog?  On the student accounts you
can add a username and password so they can login and do the book reviews.
You can then approve them before they post.  Also, Destiny allows you/your
students to search your catalog for reading levels books by lexile.  They
could also look up the books in his collection on lexile.com to see the
reading level.
