**Deleting Reports**  Delete reports by going to Job Manager and scrolling down to the bottom. Type in a date, and all reports created before or on that date will be deleted.

 ** Adding Links to Home Page ** First you need to create a “New Books”category in your catalog – once you’ve done that, log out, then log in at the access level your students use (or no login, if you just use guest access). Open the category and copy the url in the address bar Log back into Destiny with rights to edit the home page. Paste the url for the category you just created in the space for a link. As long as they have rights to view the categories, students will be able to click on the link and view the category. (from Follett-Talk 10/6/09)

**Merging MARC records** (Follett-Talk, 2/8/10) We want to combine multiple copies of the same title, whether it be a paperback or hardback, into one MARC record. Currently, they are separate because of call number variations (Paperback or reference) and ISBN disparities. I know I can delete a copy and then add it to the still-existing title. However, if I do this, I will lose the circulation history of that copy. Does anyone know of a way to merge these two records and still retain the copy information?

Go to Destiny Help and search for the article entitled "eliminating duplicate title records using a resource list". I know it seems really complicated but if you just follow the instructions step by step, you'll get the hang of it. I do this regularly and it's really useful. I created a special resource list called "merge duplicates" that I use.

"I added a book to my Have Read shelf. Then I discovered that you if you click on that title you can add the recommendation and  send to a friend! Now that I know, it's simple to do!" (from Follett-Talk 12/2/09
