Follett Destiny Library Manager Reviews & Product Details

I love how titles that I purchase through Follett easily import into Destiny cataloging and that they keep track of what books that I currently have. I can create lists of wished for items and can trust their reviews and "The Best of Titlewave" collections. If I have a few books with binding issues, I can easily email the customer service department and they quickly send me a replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could limit search filters to include 2 binding types. Sometimes, I prefer Follett Bound but would like to look at Hardback books too to compare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Follett Destiny Library Manager is simple and easy to learn, teach, and use. For the most part, it connects well with our SSO to update the latest student information. As a daily user of Destiny, I find that the features I need are almost always easy to find. If not, the support I receive from the company provides quick solutions.

I wish importing student photos was simpler and could be done when connected to our LMS. One big pet peeve in trying to teach others to use Destiny is that the back arrow gives the user an error then it's multiple steps to get back into the needed display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it is so easy to use. As a first year school librarian, I found it easy to find what I needed. I also like that most features have a button for tutorials or frequently asked questions for when I have no idea how to do something. I use Follett Destiny every day, so it has become a very large part of my day. It is very easy to get my book vendors my catalog information when I am ordering materials, which saves me a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't have anything I dislike about Follett Destiny. I truly have only had positive interactions with the manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Follet Library Manager for almost 10 years. We've transitioned from on site server to using their cloud server services. Our onsite server was struck by thunder twice and I was worried we' re gonna be back to square one. Luckily, their excellent tech support managed to retrieve the data. When we are offered about their cloud service I didnt even think twice to avail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

one thing i need is a monthly report option on which titles are added and when. i need a report for the whole mechanical process. from encoding /receiving, collating, stamping, cataloging and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can personalize the home page, and add links to the catalog titles. I like adding book reviews, book resumes and videos of the author. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that some boolean searches get no or few results, even when the query was input correctly. Also, not all subjects and authorities are activated, so often someone looking for titles in the series or same author are unable to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tracking inventory on campus and checking in and out books seamlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could modify the settings and set emails to send receipts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Follett Destiny Suite is user-friendly. I use it all day Monday- Friday and I can always count on it to work. It works seamlessly with my day-to-day tasks. I rarely need customer support and when I do they are always there to help me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some finer details like Textbooks are resources and a few ways to do things have changed BUT the new ways are easy to learn and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Destiny Library Manager for about 23 years as a public K12 librarian. Over the years I've watched Follett grow, adapt, advance, and become the primary system for K12 library management. Destiny can do almost anything I need for my school and library. It's integration with Titlewave is a nice addition. Destiny Discover has been a wonderful addition that is much more appealing to patrons and far easier for children to navigate since it's similar to the interface one would find on a streaming service. The few times I've had to call, Follett tech support is always great. In fact the entire Follett team from sales to tech support to the folks processing orders in the warehouse are great.

I really have no complaints with Library Manager; it does everything I need and more. My biggest frustrations with Destiny are caused by the restrictions my own district places on my level of access so it's not the fault of Follett! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Destiny Discover interface is great for students because of the way it features book covers and call numbers. It works best on a computer or chromebook vs the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Destiny Library Manager every day. I teach others how to use it - both adults and students. I rely on it for essential reports that impact funding.

I've used Destiny Library Manager since 2008. In that time, little has changed in the administration side, or the "Back Office". Follet's approach to updating the Destiny Library Manager typically involves adding a whole new layer, and even interface, instead of tackling the areas where we need it most - the administration side.

Soon, the company will open in its new AI integration, which I imagine will again contain another layer (interface) to learn....instead of truly incorporating it into the back office. Much of the updates needed in the administration are basic, such as the navigation or the way functions are grouped. Thankfully, the tech support team is kind and patient and they don't mind my weekly phone calls.

But...truly...hours upon hours could be saved if the company would consider a rehaul of the back office. I've had so so so many conversations with other school librarians about this.

I use Destiny Library Manager every day. I teach others how to use it - both adults and students. I rely on it for essential reports that impact funding.

*I know we can request enhancements. We simply don't have the time to do that work for you. We'd like your team, who understand architecture and design, to take that on. Thanks!* Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have utilized the patron history more than I thought I would. Often times, my students only remember very few details about the book, let alone the title or author. Being able to look back at what books they read previously is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently needed to know the average age of my books and couldn't access it until after school hours because of how the historical summary is set up. I forgot for like four days since I typically leave right after school and would remember the next morning after the time window had closed again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
