Categories & Use Cases

Easy to use while meeting all your needs!

Pros

  • It has a number of great features (some of which are addons), to show book covers, related links, and more.
  • Very user-friendly, our staff needs very little training to get started. Reliable. Dependable. Great customer support.

Cons

  • Destiny Library Manager's interface is a little dated. After years and years of use, it just looks old. Functionality is not lost, nor is anything else.
  • Attempts at automating the process to update our students from our SIS has not gone well. It's easier to enter new students manually.

Return on Investment

  • I enjoy how budget-friendly the software is, and it is easy for students to use. I also like how the cloud system updates itself.
  • The ability to send overdue notices to both students and parents have really helped us get a better handle on our fines and getting them paid more quickly.

Other Software Used
