Destiny Quest Staff Training Part Two

Continuing with Destiny Quest...
1. Creating a personal list:

When you are logged onto Destiny Quest you have an active list on the right hand side. (it will show if you aren't logged in, but this is the "Guest" list) You can drag and drop search items into your list, or add them from the details screen on the title.







If you want to drag and drop, hover over the image of the title, click and drag the title over to the "My List" box. When you are over the box, release and drop the title. You'll get an animation of the title disappearing into your list.


If you are looking at the title details, you have a button in the upper right under the title status that will let you add the title to your list as well.












If the item is already in your list, you'll see a smiley face and it will say "In your list."










Once you have a list ready, it can be accessed from anywhere with internet access - all you have to do is log in to Destiny! Just click on the link "Titles" in the My List box and it will pull up your list.















You can also print the list, and one of the nice print options lets you print a bibliography in MLA format! Great for research papers and projects to help reinforce format! From the list screen, click on Print Options.




In the options screen, you can select the type of bibliography you want it to print, or you can select MLA format. Then click Print Preview to see the results and print if you need to.
