Virtual Library News - September 2021
TDSB Virtual Library News
You may notice some changes to the look and feel of the Virtual Library this fall. Some of these changes are part of regular maintenance and some are in response to the requirements of Accessibility for Ontarioians with Disabilities Act. This work is ongoing and you may notice additional changes to the site continuing to occur over the fall as we work to make the site more accessible.
There have been new books and new content added to the Virtual Library in recent months. Please join us for the What’s New in the Virtual Library
New Destiny Platform
Destiny Discover has a new look and many new titles. The constantly growing collection includes eBooks and audiobooks in English and in French for students of all ages. The new platform allows you to search and filter resources in various ways. Students and staff now use their TDSB email and network password to logon into the system. Books can be previewed without signing them out. Destiny Discover - New Platform

Professional Library and Teaching Resources
The Professional Library and Library Teaching Resources continue to support you virtually with streaming media, eBooks, eJournals and more. Also, we are delighted that as of this September we have resumed physical borrowing/booking/reserving of resources (print books, kits, dvds). All booked/reserved materials will be directly delivered to your school via TDSB School Courier and you can return items the same way. For now, our site at Tippett is not available for in person pick up and drop off.
