Export titles
There are various reasons you might need to export titles from Destiny, such as to:
- Make copies of some or all of the title records in your collection.
- Share records with other libraries.
- Re-arrange your collection with other schools because of a change in the district.
- Send your data to Follett School Solutions, LLC or another vendor for enhancement.
- Create a file to import to a learning system, such as a learning management system or learning object repository.

If you select this option:
- Select a version.
- Complete the LTI Code and LTI Code Description fields (optional, depending on your learning system's requirements).
