Set Up One Search

You can easily access your school’s subscription databases all in one place through Destiny® One Search™. One Search saves you time and effort by letting you search the catalog and multiple free and subscription databases at one time with a single search request. In addition, patrons do not need to remember the URLs, usernames, and passwords for multiple databases.

You can add library catalogs, paid subscription databases, and free databases to One Search.

Before you begin…

Before you begin the setup process, you need the following:

• Your customer number, which can be found in your welcome letter.
• The URL location and the version of the web-based library catalogs you want to make available to your users.
• Usernames and passwords for paid subscription databases.
• IP addresses of your library web server for IP authenticated subscription databases, if applicable.
• A custom URL, if one is required, to access subscription databases.
