A popular school library management system is testing new features to allow parents more control over what their children check out at the library. Because, you know, the level of surveillance software already used on children just wasn’t enough for some people.
Follett School Solutions, the company behind popular Destiny software used in school libraries, says it’s working on a new opt-in module that would allow parents to receive a notification for each book their child checks out of the library, including a summary of the book and any relevant tags. The same module would give parents the power to create, through their own Destiny accounts, a list of materials their children will not be allowed to check out.
