We have updated our current library catalog to a new and improved system called Destiny. Destiny has tons of fantastic features for our students, including:

  • Book covers shown in search results (like on Amazon.com)
  • Related web searching, sites grouped according to grade level (when you search for a topic, the catalog will not only find our books, but also age-appropriate websites)
  • Rating system using stars (coming soon)
  • Book reviews to be authored by students (coming soon)

Check out the new and improved library catalog (from home or from school) here: http://eshub.isb.ac.th

We hope you will enjoy all of these new great features!

And I’m not just saying that because my blog is the first one featured, really ;)

Janetta Garton created this presentation for her teachers in Willard, Missouri, but I thought it was a perfect introduction for our school community here as well!

Check it out – and then come down to the Learning Hub to learn how to set one up for your class!
