Set Up Library Policies

Destiny lets you customize your library policies, which are made up of patron types and circulation types. Library policies are rules and restrictions that are assigned to a patron.

Example: You have two patron types, Student and Faculty. In addition to the patron types, there are also circulation types. The Student patron type is allowed to check out materials for one week (circulation type). The Faculty patron type is allowed to check out materials for an unlimited amount time (circulation type).

Destiny Administrators can set up and push the library policies to a single site, a site type or the entire district. A site user with the Add/edit/delete library policies permission can add or edit patron types or circulation types. To set up Library Policies, see Set Up Patron Types (Library) or Set Up Circulation Types.
