Destiny Ebook Links for the Getty Virtual Library

A great thanks to the Getty Publications Virtual Library (Art).  We have been copy cataloging and adding resource links with for as many books as possible that have existing Marc Records.  While we have not added the books directly on to our server, we have added the weblink to the book at the Virtual Library so that our students can in their catalog search also find the Getty Virtual Library books as well.  This is a huge thing that the Getty Publication Virtual Library has done because it had greatly increased the opportunity for our students to have access to these great resources.  We are populating a Public Resource list and when we are finished the project we will add a Copy Category as well.  A direct link to the Getty Publication Virtual Library is http://www.getty.edu/publications/virtuallibrary/index.html.

The SAS PD Secondary Library  has created a Michael L. Printz Award/Honor Book List of books that the Library has on its shelves..  Check out the link tab above and get straight into the list.  You can also download a PDF Version of the list or use the active html version.  When you select a title from the Active List you will be taken to SAS PD Destiny Title record for the book.  In that our Destiny is open you will be able to view the title record and see if the book/playaway is available at the library.  If you want to put a hold on the book you will have to log in your SAS PD Destiny account (Use your student ID and password).  You will have to use the back arrow to return from the SAS PD Destiny site to this blog page.
