[aisle] Library Management

[Mrs. Hamernick]

We use Destiny - Follett.  We host it on their server so that it updates
automatically whenever they push out an update. We like it, but there is a
learning curve. I often find answers with a quick Google search, but I have
called their tech line and they are helpful. From time to time the system
is slow and goes down, but that hasn't happened since the last update. They
have an app, but it's not encompassing of the catalog, it focuses on
digital resources.  So we use the web-based version of the catalog, it's
much smoother.  Feel free to reach out with questions.
