Set up a shared account

For the best eBook experience, it is recommended that students log in with unique usernames and passwords. This gives them access to check out, place a hold, and add a review to Follett digital materials, as well as use the Notebook features.

 

  1. In the Shared Account section, type a Login and Password for students to use to log in to Destiny Discover.
  2. Click Save.

Identify IP addresses/ranges so that patrons on an identified computer are automatically logged in as Shared users.

 

To let students read and listen to digital materials without logging in, but also prevent unauthorized users outside school from accessing these digital materials

When patrons open Destiny Discover from a configured address, they can search for and open Follett digital materials but cannot check them out, place a hold, or add a review.

  1. In the Shared Account section, click Configure IP Addresses.
  2. Select Single WAN IP address or Range of WAN IP addresses.
  3. Type the IP address of the computer or group of computers you want to grant access for. If you selected Range of WAN IP addresses, type the subnet mask of the network in the Subnet Mask field.
  4. Click Add.
  5. When you are done adding computers or ranges, click Close.
