Self Circulation and Substitute Librarian Accounts- Each school is assigned two local accounts in Destiny.  The self circ account is used solely at self circ stations operated by students.  This is the only type of account that students should use for self circulation.

The Substitute account is used in sub plans for when a daily sub is covering a class.  If a long term sub is assigned, please contact us via Destiny@bcps.org to request access for the long term sub.
