Destiny Library Catalog Instructions (Santa Barbara Elementary School District)
In September 2007 the Santa Barbara School Districts converted to Destiny Library Manager. An important feature of Destiny is that it is web-based, allowing access to the catalog from any computer with an Internet connection. The following information provides elementary students, parents and teachers with the tools to access and navigate the library catalog. These instructions will be translated into Spanish and posted in Book Corner on the districts’ web site for distribution to students and parents.
Destiny is accessible from any computer with an Internet connection.
