Destiny Library Manager
Import title records from Titlewave

Adding new materials to your catalog does not need to be complicated. Destiny Library Manager saves you time
and effort. When you buy new titles or copies from Follett, you can import the MARC records to your catalog
directly from Titlewave.
1. Select Catalog > Titlewave > Order History sub-tab.
2. In the appropriate row, click Import. The Import Titles page appears.
3. In the Title Matching section, select how you want Library Manager to compare the incoming records for a
match in your catalog:
l Strict: Follett recommends strict title matching, which requires a match on the LCCN, ISBN, or ISSN, plus
the title and material type. If the author and publication dates are present, they are also compared.
However, you can choose Remove the author requirement from the strict matching rules. If an
incoming record contains a 13-digit ISBN and your district collection record has the 10-digit form of that
ISBN – or the reverse – Library Manager considers them the same ISBN.
l Relaxed: You can choose to have Library Manager match title records based on title, material type,
author, and publication date if a standard number is not found. If you don't mind that a title has different
publication dates and standard numbers, you can also choose Remove the standard number and
publication date requirements from the relaxed matching rules.
4. Select how you want Library Manager to handle incoming records if its MARC record data matches existing
records in your catalog.
Note: Follett recommends you replace your existing title records with the import records if they have
more information. By default, Library Manager replaces the existing records, but preserves and merges
local tags or fields of information that apply specifically to your library.
5. In the Copy Matching section, select how you want Library Manager to handle any copy records where an
incoming barcode matches a barcode already in your catalog.

any skipped copies. You need to add these copies manually.

Add title and copy records from resource databases

Maintaining accurate catalog records is vital for your students and teachers to know which information and
resources are available. You can easily access and import thousands of title records from Alliance Plus® and Z-
Source databases into Destiny Library Manager.
Because there may be an existing record in your collection, Alliance Plus Online or a Z39.50 server that would
meet your needs or require only minor modifications, Follett recommends that you first search for a record.

Searching Resource Databases
1. Select Catalog > Add Title > Check Sources sub-tab.
2. Use the Find drop-down to select the material type or Any type.
3. Use the with drop-down to select Title, Author, Subject, LCCN, ISBN or ISSN.
Note: Follett recommends you search by ISBN to ensure you are not duplicating records.
4. In the third field, type a number or search term.

5. Click Go.
6. On the Search Results page, scroll to find the item you searched for. The source of the title record is indicated
by the icon next to its title.
l The red schoolhouse indicates the record is already in your district’s catalog. If there is a district record
in the search results, use that record to avoid duplication. You just need to add your library’s copies.
l
The “A+” indicates the record is in the Alliance Plus database. If there is not a district title record in
the search results, there might be a title record in the Alliance Plus database.
l
The lightning bolt indicates the record is in the Z-Source database. If there is not a district or Alliance
Plus record available, you can choose to use a Z-Source record. Z-Source databases are owned by the
host libraries, and you must set up access to them before you can find Z-Source search results.

7. Click Details or the title's name to view the Title Details or review the MARC record details on the MARC
View sub-tab.
8. Click Save Title.
9. To make changes to the title record, click Edit Title.
Adding Copies
To add copies to an existing district record, click on the title or Details. The Title Details page opens with
additional information about the item. Click Add Copies to add a copy to this record.
Adding Title Records Manually

Some materials might seem challenging to catalog and add to your library’s collection, such as your school’s
yearbook or a self-published collection of your students’ work. Library Manager’s Easy Editor makes manually
adding any title record quick and easy.
1. Select Catalog > Add Title.
2. Use the Find drop-down to select the material type you want to search for.

3. Use the with drop-down to select the type of search you want to conduct.
Note: Follett recommends you search by ISBN to ensure you are not duplicating records.
If a title is not available in the district catalog, Follett’s Alliance Plus or Z-Source databases, the Add Title page
opens.
4. On the Brief Title sub-tab, enter basic information about the title you are cataloging. You can find most of this
information on the item’s title or copyright pages.
5. On the Series/Notes sub-tab, enter information about the title’s series or volume, if available, and its interest
level. If your school uses Lexile® measures or the Fountas and Pinnell program, you can also enter the codes
here.
6. On the Subjects sub-tab, enter subject headings. Click Find Heading to see a list of headings previously
used in your library. These headings help your patrons find titles with a common topic.

7. On the Resources sub-tab, you can add links and a brief description for any related digital resources, such as
websites.
8. On the Added Entries sub-tab, you can add a different title for the item or any co-authors, illustrators or
editors.

9. On the RDA Types sub-tab, you can select content, media and carrier types from the drop-downs. Adding the
RDA ( Resource Description and Access) types expands your patrons’ ability to find and access your library’s
resources.
Note: Your district must have RDA as the preferred descriptive cataloging form to view this sub-tab.

Set up One Search

Your teachers and students can take advantage of your school’s subscription databases in one place, through
Destiny One Search. One Search saves you time and effort by letting them search the catalog and multiple free
and subscription databases all at once, with a single search request. In addition, patrons do not need to
remember the URLs, usernames, and passwords for multiple databases.
Before You Begin
Before you begin the setup process, you need the following:
l Your customer number, which can be found in your welcome letter.
l The URL location and the version of the web-based library catalogs you want to make available to your users.
l Usernames and passwords for paid subscription databases.
l IP addresses of your library web server for IP-authenticated subscription databases, if applicable.
l A custom URL, if one is required, to access subscription databases.
Set up One Search site configuration settings

You can set up the One Search site configuration settings as a Destiny Administrator or Site Administrator.
To set up site configuration settings:

1. Log in as the Destiny Administrator or a Site Administrator.
2. Do one of the following:
If you log in as a... Then...
Destiny Administrator a. On the district Welcome page, click Setup.

b. On the Sites sub-tab, find the site that will use One Search, and then click
.

Set up One Search access levels

Those who will add and edit One Search databases need the correct permissions. Most likely the Library
Administrator should have this access, but you can also give other access levels, such as library staff, the rights
to add and edit databases. Students also need permissions to search the databases.
To set up administrative access:
1. Select Admin > Access Levels.
2. Find Library Administrator, and then click .
3. Select the Library Materials sub-tab.

4. Under the Library Catalog Search Access section, select Search One Search as, and then Staff.

One Search.
6. Click Save to complete or Cancel to exit without granting this access.

2. Find Patron, and then click .
4. Under the Library Catalog Search Access section, select Search One Search as, and then select
Student.

To enable guests who access your library catalog to search One Search:
Important: Make sure you understand your online subscription database license agreement before you
allow public access. Anyone who can access your Destiny URL from inside or outside your network may be
able to use One Search if you allow guest access. You are responsible for complying with the license terms
of third-party content vendors.

2. Find Guest, and then click .
4. Under the Library Catalog Search Access section, select Search One Search as Guest.
Supported One Search databases

View all the One Search databases at: https://support.follettlearning.com/customer-tools/one-search.cfm. The
list is updated regularly and gives databases a status of Available or Temporarily Unavailable.
One Search comes with free, preloaded databases to get you started. You can change the default list by adding
or deleting databases.
Add non-IP verified subscription databases to One Search
1. Log in as an Administrator.
2. Select Catalog > Search Setup > Enriched Content Searches sub-tab.
3. Next to One Search Database Information, click Edit.

6. Complete the authentication information fields, such as User Name, Password, URL, or other fields, as
required by and obtained from the vendor.
7. If you choose a database that then gives you a list of multiple databases, such as a subscription encyclopedia
database, select the checkboxes in the left-most column to enable the databases you subscribe to.
8. If you want a database to appear on the Destiny Discover Homepage Links carousel, select the Display in
Destiny Discover Homepage Links Section checkbox.
9. To have Destiny search this database by default whenever users perform a Basic library search, select the
Preset selected in Destiny Back Office checkbox.
Note: In Power search, Preset selected databases are automatically selected under Include Online
Resources. Patrons must manually select any database in Power search not set as Preset selected.
10. The Allow Students, Allow Staff and Allow Guests checkboxes let you decide which groups of patrons can
search specific databases.
Notes:

l You need to ensure the students, staff and guest access levels have the permission to search One
Search.
l In order for students to search One Search databases away from school, they need to log in to
Destiny with a username and password.
l Ensure your Third-Party Subscription Database licenses allow public access before permitting guests
to search One Search. You are responsible for complying with the license terms for each vendor.
11. Click Save.

12. Repeat these steps for each database you want to add.
13. When you finish, click Back, and then click Close.
Push One Search database configuration

If your district purchases subscriptions to online databases for the entire district, you can push One Search
database configurations to multiple sites. This is a quick way to enter authentication information once and apply it
to other schools in the district.
Important: Only the Destiny Administrator can push a One Search configuration to other sites.
Only database configurations that the source site and receiving sites have in common are updated by the push.
Note: If some subscriptions are site-based and therefore different for each site, you might want to:
temporarily delete that database configuration at the source site, push the configuration, replace the
database configuration at the source site, and then configure it at each of the other applicable sites.
To push One Search database configuration:

To push a One Search database configuration, select one Library Manager site, configure its databases for One
Search, and then push that complete configuration to all valid Library Manager sites, a group of sites, or a single
site.
1. Log in as a Destiny Administrator.
2. Select Setup > District Options sub-tab.
3. Next to One Search Database Information, click Edit. The Push One Search Database Configuration page
appears.
4. From the Select Source Site drop-down, select a school.
Note: The database configurations at the source site will be duplicated at other sites in the district.
Therefore, you should set up the source site with every district subscription that you want to push to other
sites.
5. To configure the source site, or to review the configuration, click Configure.
Notes:
l The push process only works for databases that use the same username and password for each

school in the district. Any databases that require a unique username and password for each school
need to be set up at the individual schools. Users at each school who have the Set up One Search
permission can add or edit database configurations.
l If any of the receiving schools already have databases that are not configured at the source site, those
databases are not affected by the push. If the source school and any of the receiving schools have a
database in common, the receiving school’s configuration for that database will be overridden when
the push is processed.
6. From the Push Configuration to drop-down, select the entire district, a site type, or a single site.
Note: The push process automatically selects the Use One Search checkbox for any receiving sites that
do not already have it selected.
7. Click Go. A message notifies you which sites will receive the database configurations you set up at the source
site.
8. To proceed, click Yes.
