[CALIBK12] Destiny textbook entries

[Barnes, Margaret]

Along this line, if you have upgraded to Destiny 8.5, you can scan
individual textbook barcodes into the program through the Add Copies
screen using the pull-down menu to go to "List of Barcodes" (the default
is "Number of Copies").  This might also have been in 8.0.

Subject: [CALIBK12] Destiny textbook entries

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.
