Destiny Discover (Extension)




It’s easier than ever to locate your Destiny library resources! You can now use Google to search for resources from your Destiny library catalog.

The new Destiny Discover extension allows you to retrieve resources such as books, eBooks, Lightbox titles, and more through a quick Google search – offerings from your library management system will be displayed at the top of standard Google search result pages.

Simply install the new Destiny Discover extension, visit gofollett.com and find the name of the school you want to search. Your extension will be automatically configured. The Destiny Discovery viewing ribbon can be turned off or on with one click of the Show/Hide button. 




Educational Application:
Since Google has become a routine part of search strategies and while it has many great features, we never want our patrons to forget about the resources we have in our libraries. 
The new Destiny Chrome Extension is great because it helps students make the connection between our libraries and Google.The Chrome extension helps remind our patrons that in addition to Google results, our libraries have a variety of excellent resources available to them. ~ Suzy Ferrell
