Destiny is a very intuitive program to use at the start. The longer you use it, the more you discover it can d. I recommend not being afraid to click buttons and find out what each section does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The help function is not helpful. The directions are hard to follow sometimes and it does not often answer questions. I have better luck just googling my question to find a good answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The library management system is easy to navigate, and is usually reliable. I use it all day when checkign books in and out, for inventory, and for lirbary statistics. I also really like that there's a way to check books in and out if the internet goes out- even though I can't access the internet records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system does not stay loggied in all day, which means that I have to log back in every time I return to my computer for a new class. Also, I have to click log in up to three times every time I want ot log in using Google. (Sometimes it works after one login. I don't like being taken automatically to the site dashboard when I try to go to the back office. I know what page I want- and if I wanted to go there, I woul dhave clicked that button.

Follett Destiny Library Manager is super user friendly. It is very intuitive and it is easy to train volunteers to use it. You can run many different reports and schedule reports such as overdue notices to go out at specific times. You can build your screen and reports to look and run however best fit your needs. When adding titles to your collection you can download MARC records or search for titles individually. The system will provide records for you when available. Destiny discover is great for students and super easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I have very few "dislikes" about the system. My biggest complaint is that different records for the same book are chosen on different campuses. This is more of a user issue than a system issue. This can be prevented by using house records when adding individual titles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Destiny Library Manager makes running my library possible. I love the efficiency of the reporting and the ease of use when onboarding new staff. I have used this platform for over 20 years and have been impressed with the way it has kept up with changing technologies, especially the new integration of AI. Customer support is responsive and provides support as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The help documentation needs updating. It is not as easy to navigate as the software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Library Manager user the program is easy to use for most tasks. I use it every day in the library and show students how to use it as well. It helps keep things organized and allows me to do tasks quickly by running reports, such as who has overdue books or to print barcodes or spine labels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few areas that have settings that are difficult to get around. Because I am a user and not an administrator I sometimes have to go through admin to get things changed that I'd like to be able to do myself. There are some instances in which it is difficult to find the right place to do what I'm looking for, but it's relatively rare that occurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Destiny Library Manager is its ease of use and user-friendly interface, which allows us to catalog texts in a simple and precise manner. As for user service, it offers very valuable resources like WebPath Express, which facilitates safe online searches for our users. Additionally, Titlewave is another exceptional tool that enhances the visual experience when searching for texts, making the process more interactive and appealing. Destiny also allows us to record loans quickly and efficiently, and provides excellent functionality to evaluate the entire book collection comprehensively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find anything in particular that I dislike about Destiny Follett. However, I would like to see the incorporation of AI-based tools, such as personalized book recommendations based on borrowing history, automatic creation of book clubs by age groups, or book suggestions based on common interests. Additionally, an AI that optimizes the bibliographic collection, analyzes reading trends, and manages loans and reminders automatically would further enhance the experience for users and administrators.

Follett Destiny Library Manager provides our schools with an easy and effective way of tracking our library inventory. It is easy to train our media aides on the system's basic functions and how to navigate, which is essential due to the turnover rate we experience in that position. From an administration standpoint, I appreciate being able to run various reports and having the ability to view each school's dashboard to have a quick view of where they stand. I am looking forward to the winter rollout and the AI features that are built-in. It looks like it will be easier to generate specific reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In order to get specific information built into a report, I often have to research (YouTube or Google) how to set the necessary parameters in order to get the desired results. The reports side of things isn't always user friendly; however, I am looking forward to the new AI features, because it seems like it may be easier to generate reports that are meaningful to the work I'm doing in our libraries.

I am a district level user and I have been in need of running whole district weeding and circulation reports. With this new update 22.5, they have added that feature as well as a District Wide Collection Analysis! I can't wait to get my eyes on that data! My media specialists use Destiny every day and I know these new updates will help us all. I also love how we can personalize the Destiny Discover Home Page for students at each school site with configurations of top circulated titles, new titles for checkout, or search by subject. I have been asking for more options for district users and they listened. Thank you Destiny! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest struggles is remember how to access different reports and what options to select to gather the correct data. If you don't run that report often, you forget the breadcrumbs to select to get it to populate correctly. I am hoping with the new AI integration, that will be alleviated. I can say, when I call for customer support, the Destiny expert on the line is always helpful and great at problem solving. So, if you are in need of support, don't be afraid to call. They are very knowledgeable and can trouble shoot with you if you are having trouble implementing tools or reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's important to be able to run reports, which the Manager allows you to do. I'm glad they are going to release an AI component, although I am surprised that there will be a paid version. It seems like something that should be included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface looks really outdated and in the 3 years I've been using it, there don't seem to be any significant updates that have been made. People post needed changes on the Community Page, and nothing ever seems to happen. For example, it's ridiculous that Collections can not be sorted by Call Number and that you have to click on each book in a collection to find out if it is available or checked out. Folks requested that years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Follett Destiny Library Manager for its user-friendly interface, which makes managing books, resources, and media easy. I value its powerful cataloging and search features, customizable settings, and efficient circulation and inventory management. The system integrates well with other school platforms and offers detailed reports and analytics to help school librarians make informed decisions. Additionally, its support for eBooks and digital resources, along with the flexibility of cloud-based access, allows me to easily manage the library remotely and provide students with easy access to a wide range of materials.

I’ve found that some librarians using Follett Destiny Library Manager feel it’s quite expensive, especially for smaller schools or libraries with tighter budgets. While the system is generally user-friendly, there can be a learning curve with advanced features, and some wish for more customization options for the interface and reports. Oveeall it is worth it to me with their good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
