[CALIBK12] TECH: Destiny: how about a built in schedule?

[Doyle_Tony]

Destiny Users:
Since Destiny strives to be a one-stop library management program don't you think a built-in facility scheduling module is the next logical progression?  Staff and students can already login and manage book lists, holds, and checkouts.  Why not add the ability to schedule classes?  If you think it is a good idea go to Follett's Suggest a Feature form and submit a request:
http://fsc.follett.com/contact_us/?formType=suggest

This is what I wrote:

"Include a library/lab scheduling module in Destiny so teachers could check library availability and sign up for library time by day and period. It should be configurable for schools with different types of schedule (traditional, block, modified) and support scheduling for multiple rooms/labs. The site administrator should be able to control who can see/add-to/delete-from the schedules. It should be possible to embed it on the home page and/or have a clickable link on the catalog page."

The more customers who request it the more likely it is that it will happen.

Thanks,
Tony
