==Riverdale Library Catalogs==


In mid-2011, the Riverdale Libraries on both River and Hill campuses unified their card-catalog and on-line resources with Follett's on-line Destiny Card Catalog. This allows patrons on either campus to view the holdings in either library. Patrons with a Riverdale Domain username and password can login to the Destiny catalog to view their Library account. This will enable patrons to save book lists, view resource lists created by other patrons, get a list of checked-out books, renew books, and access on-line databases through the card catalog search.

Riverdale subscribes to several online databases to serve the information needs of our school community.  The River and Hill librarians work with the academic technology integrators and teachers to identify databases that provide direct support of Riverdale's curriculum.  Patrons can access information from scholarly journals, newspaper and magazine articles, and video and image content through these subscription databases.  On-campus access to these databases requires no login. Off-campus access to these databases requires users to authenticate using Google.
