Destiny Quest-a digital library resource

Hello,
The first piece of information I am going to implement with my classroom this year is the use of Destiny Quest.  Destiny Quest is a digital library resource in which students can put books on hold, look up books at our school library, and comment and rate books.  They can also create a friends page in which they can "friend" other students at the school and share book choices with one another.  I like this as a starter to the year because it is a simple way for me to teach netiquette to the classroom and how to create a powerful posts about books.  It is a safe environment and both myself and the librarian see all posts to make sure posts are within the rules.  I believe this is a district wide used website. Here is a link if you are interested in seeing what it looks like:
