[CALIBK12] Destiny textbook entries

[Chris Reardon]

I read some of the comments in Joy Millam posting regarding using Destiny and though others might benefit from some of the experiences I encountered.   For various reasons I needed to enter textbooks that were barcoded but not entered into Destiny. As an alternative to individually adding the textbooks I organized the books by title using Excel worksheets and scanned the barcodes into Excel, sorted and then found ranges of barcode numbers and enter the textbooks using the barcode ranges which took weeks off the entry process.  I did have books that did not fall into ranges and did enter some individually or in small groups but it was physically easier than transporting each book to the circulation desk to enter.  I hope this helps.
