[ISLMA-Share] Biblionasium -- Does anyone use this "Good Reads" version for kids?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi,

I had heard that Biblionasium could be used in conjuntion with Follett's
Destiny. Is anyone using them in tandem and if so, how has that been?

Thanks,
Linda
