What is Destiny

• Destiny is our online catalog. It allows you to
  see what our Information Center has available,
  what is checked out, and the return date.
• For movies, it allows you to see the running time
  as well as a summary of the movie, the rating,
  and other pertinent information related to that
  particular movie.
• You may view Destiny from anywhere you have
  Internet access from your classroom, home, etc.
  This will enable you to gather your materials and
  prepare your lesson plans ahead of time.
