Destiny Users Thrive Thanks to Follett Training

Carrie Friday
Media Specialist
Both Back Office trainings helped me to understand the program better and make more use of the options available. Learning what reports could be used for certain situations was also beneficial. I feel I have a better grasp of how the program works and how I can make the most of it.
Debra Kauer
Librarian
I have appreciated the Follett Institutes because they have helped me “up my game” in terms of utilizing the full range of options available within Destiny. The trainings have been well-organized, led by professional training staff, and the recordings provided (typically the next day) allow me to review any areas I need to review again on my own.
