Use the Batch Delete sub-tab

Batch Delete lets you delete a group of copies using a file of barcode numbers.

To delete copies using a barcode file:

  1. Create and save a text file listing the barcodes of the copies to be deleted. Alternatively, collect the barcode scans with a Follett wireless handheld device, and then transfer the scan file to your workstation.
  2. Select Catalog > Update Copies > Batch Delete sub-tab.
    Update Copies, Batch Delete sub-tab.
  3. If you manage library materials for your district, use the From drop-down to select the school that owns the copies to be deleted.
    Batch Delete sub-tab from district level.
  4. If you manage both your library materials and textbooks in Destiny, choose the type from the File Contains list.
  5. Click Browse (or Choose File, depending on your browser) to locate the Scan.Log or text file.
  6. If you do not want deleted copies added to the Weeding Log, deselect the Track as weeded checkbox.
  7. If your district tracks a reason and disposal method for weeded materials (Library Manager only): 

    Note: If your district disabled these options, they do not appear.

    1. From the Reason drop-down, select a reason for deletion.
    2. From the Disposal Method drop-down, select a method (optional).
  8. To delete the copies, click Update and then Yes on the confirmation message.

When the delete process ends, Destiny produces a report that lists each copy deleted or skipped, and the reason. To view the report, select it in Admin > Job Manager.
