Overall Satisfaction with Follett Destiny Resource Manager

Billed as a great resource to help facilitate faculty and students in finding and recommending resources. This is integrated into our LMS as we have outsourced our text adoption services to Follett.
  • Allows for searching or Follett resources.
  • Ability to integrate into the LMS.
  • Allows for self-directed help.
  • Integration into Brightspace is plagued with issues.
  • Search and selection doesn't integrate into the ordering process very well.
  • Not a very smooth user experience with student and faculty selection.
  • LMS Integration.
  • Self-service.
  • Full catalog.
  • Searching and identifying resources save time and improve accuracy.
  • Integration has caused more user tickets due to errors.

Would you buy Follett Destiny Resource Manager again?

No

The self-service nature and the ability for faculty to recommend and search for texts and resources but the adoption process is not well integrated. The user-friendliness of the process forces the students to then go to a third party instead of staying within the ecosystem.
