Printing Spine and Pocket labels successfully in Destiny.
Printing Spine and pocket labels:
Go into the REPORTS tab
Under the heading LABELS, choose Spine/Pocket Labels
Decide how you want to print your labels. This sample is “labels by date added”.
This sample is for label stock 2 across by 5 down, purchased from Western Library Services, 1-800-663-4393 www.westernlibrary.bc.ca, email wls@westernlibrary.bc.ca
Order “Laser Labelsets Librarian’s Choice #1685. It has one spine label and two pocket labels for each title. It comes in 100 sheets per package with a regular price of $51.95 but if you can catch it on sale, it may only be $46.95. (Canadian)
Gauge: each 10 points is a line of text.
For the labels that we use, I choose Demco OCLC 4-14216850
Offsets: Horizontal 18, Vertical 18
Font size: 12pt.
Now comes the best part:
Run the Report
Refresh
View Report
And when the window pops up with your labels ready to be printed, click on Print.
In this window, where it says “Page Scaling” use the drop down menu and choose “none”
Make sure the Auto Rotate and Centre is not checked/selected
Make sure the paper source is not checked/selected
Now click on “Advanced Settings” and select “Print as Image”.
There are other tips at this link here if these tips don’t work for your printer set up.

How to enter to win a free Hybrid Bus for your school
"From: Canadas GreenestSchool [mailto:CanadasGreenestSchool@ketchum.com]
Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 7:32 AM
To: Canadas Greenest School
Subject: Chance to Win a Hybrid Bus and Classroom Supplies/ Une chance de gagner un autobus scolaire hybride et des fournitures scolaires
Did you know that one school bus has the capacity to take 36 passenger cars off the road, for a total of 1.9 million cars in Canada a year! That means over 1.3 billion litres of passenger car fuel are saved in Canada every year by students riding school buses.
Green facts like these are why school bus manufacturer IC BusTM is hosting the Canada's Greenest SchoolTM Contest. The contest invites school children to use their creativity to describe what they would do if they were in charge of making their school a greener and more eco-friendly place. Students have the chance to win $3,000 to be put towards his/her education and the school of the winning student will win a hybrid school bus from IC Bus (a $200,000 value) and a green audit of the school from a LEED accredited professional. The teacher of the winning entrant will also receive $500 for environmentally friendly class supplies.
To enter, students must submit an entry in the form of a photo collection, an essay, video, music, photos or any other creative format. Individual or group/classroom entries are encouraged.
If you would like to encourage students from your school to participate, please visit http://www.canadasgreenestschool.ca/
for:
• A call for entries from Canadian Olympic figure skater, Josee Chouinard.
• Printable materials for your classroom including posters and eco-educational class activities.
• Environmental facts and figures that can help inspire students to take action!
• Details about the contest and the Official Rules.
Don’t be tardy—the deadline to enter is April 5, 2010!
Good luck!
Ketchum Canada on behalf of IC Bus
P.S. Please help us spread the word by forwarding this message to other teachers, students’ parents, and the school PTA."

This was our first week using our new library program called DESTINY.
Our OPACs have a whole new look for searching with some amazing user friendly options such as "visual search".
Why don't you visit the Library to try it out?
Kindergarten: Too Many Toys by David Shannon. This author really knows true life! It was as if he had written an episode of my life with my son and his toys... that spill into the living room... his latest obsession being a box which he has decorated as a car that you can watch movies in!
Grade 1: The Boy Who Loved Bananas by George Elliot. A real crowd pleaser with lots of repetition and a humorous twist at the end.
Grade 2: Lemon Duck by Laura Backman. Lemon is not like the other hatchlings... a tender story with a good ending.
Grade 3: Jim and the Beanstalk by Raymond Briggs. This is what I call an "oldie but goodie" (copyright 1970)! A funny story about what happens when Jim climbs up the beanstalk to find that Jack's giant has aged. The old giant is in need of glasses, dentures and a wig. A sweet ending.
Grade 4: Christopher, Please Clean Up Your Room! by Itah Sadu. Christopher's pet fish team up with the cockroaches next door. They go to extremes to try and get Christopher to clean up his room and eventually the stinky fish tank.
Grade 5: Camilla Camelion by Colleen Sydor. Camilla is born with some amazing abilities which make her popular with her classmates AND her teachers!
