Set Up One Search

You can access your school’s subscription databases in one place through Destiny® One Search™. One Search lets you search the catalog and multiple free and subscription databases 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 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.
