Getting Started as a Super Administrator – Consortium

Each member of a consortium, which can be either districts or individual sites, is completely autonomous. A member district cannot interact with another district. Sites within a member district can share materials, records, and patron records, and can use the inter-site functionalities, such as borrowing or transferring materials, and transferring patrons. A district's Destiny administration accounts can generate high-level reports for the member.

Set up installation

After logging in as a Super Administrator, click Setup in the upper corner. The Update Destiny Installation page shows the following sub-tabs: 

  • Members
