[ISLMA-Share] Alexandria vs Destiny

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I've used both. I've found that Alexandria was a bit more intuitive. It
also offers great records to download (LOC) when cataloging. If cataloging
is not your strong point then I would go with Destiny. It corrects your
errors for you.

Screen layout for Alexandria is easier to read than Destiny. As I remember
it was also easier to navigate between modules with Alexandria.

Destiny recently upgraded. It looks like they are promoting the ability to
pull all district resource into the OPAC and Chrome compatibility.

Alexandria is generally less expensive than Destiny, too.
