Search for books at 15 other schools

Our current online catalog that shows the books we and other libraries have is called Destiny - it's what comes up when you click on "online catalog" on our library page.

Once you do a search in Destiny, you can click on the "One Search" tab and there you'll be able to see if books are found at Crossroads, Mayfield, or Marlborough school libraries. 

Other libraries in our local library sharing consortia are working to migrate to Destiny over the next year so you can search their book catalogs as well.  Until they all are in Destiny, we are working to post the link to our old online catalog, Infocenter,  below where you can click on "Other Libraries" to search for books at:

*Harvard Westlake
*Westridge
*Webb
*Milken
*Oakwood
*Campbell Hall
*Notre Dame
*Windward
*Archer
*Brentwood
*Thacher
*Cate

We can borrow from these schools above.   The reason we are migrating to Destiny is because Infocenter is not compatible with the Windows 7 operating system or with 2008 servers.  Buckley and many other schools are migrating to these, so each school in our borrowing group will be moving their records to Destiny.  Hopefully by Fall of 2012, most of the schools above - and possibly more, will be in your searching capacity for research!  Until that time and until we can get the old catalog link up and running on an old XP server, feel free to email the librarians to look at the schools above for books for your research.  Thanks!    ~ your Buckley Librarians

Infocenter Catalog - Buckley's old online catalog

Link will be coming soon...

New Library Online Catalog: Destiny

Destiny is here!  Buckley has successfully migrated all of our online catalog records to a new platform called Destiny.  Our previous online catalog was called Infocenter.  While we've yet to post the new Destiny link to our library site, we're still learning about the catalog's functionality and look forward to posting it to our website to replace Infocenter later this week.

Considering moving to Destiny's online catalog

Buckley's Middle & Upper School library belongs to the Independent Library School Exchange-Group Access Project, or ISLE-GAP, a consortia of 15 independent school libraries that share print resources (about 250,000 items).  ISLE-GAP schools have all used the online catalog Infocenter for years to search each other's collections.  Currently, however, many schools are looking to move to using Destiny - another online catalog created by Follett, the maker of Infocenter.  Buckley is considering this as well, as Infocenter hasn't been updated since 2007 and is considered a "legacy system."  In fact, Windows 7 and Infocenter do not interface, functionally, that well and Buckley is in the process to upgrading to Windows 7.  As we look forward to Destiny, we will keep you posted about the new look and features that will be coming soon to our online catalog!
