Patron Search - Now we can choose to search "Only My Patron" by checking a box under Patron in Circulation. Unchecking the box will allow a patron search district wide. We can also search the whole list by leaving the Find box empty and clickiing "Find Patron." We can sort the list or jump further down the list.

Also in circulation, we can use a pull down menu to search for patrons by first name, last name, homeroom, etc.

"My List" is now called "Resource Lists." It is located on the left side of the screen. Destiny 7.0 allows us to set up multiple lists, name them, and save them. In addition to emailing the lists, you can also share the lists with users **on your campus** who have access rights. This is called making a list "public." Hope this helps!
