Log into Destiny, and click on Help in the upper right-hand corner. Search for [One Search Overview]. On the resulting page, click on the link to view all the supported One Search databases. If you are logged in, the link below will take you directly to this list. All of the databases that you can set up in OneSearch are listed. If a "translator" for a particular database is currently being updated, the list will tell you that this database is temporarily unavailable through One Search.
Here’s how to provide links to the resources in AskRI.org, free resources on the web, plus your own video-streaming and online database subscriptions.
Important note: There are a number of options to be considered when selecting a database to be included for searches using OneSearch in your library. Be very selective about the databases that you want to Preset as a selected search in Destiny Discover, as they will appear in the Links ribbon in the first positions in the list. Databases that are preset as selected will be searched EVERY TIME a search is done in your catalog, with the results displayed on the OneSearch tab. You will want to preset as selected only those databases that will be most useful to your students. Having too many choices in the search results can be more confusing than helpful. Databases that you want to have available, but not searched every time, should not have this option checked. Databases that you choose, but that are not preset as selected are available on the Power Search tab in the Destiny Back Office Catalog tab. (screen shot)
If you want students and teachers who are not logged in to be able to access a particular database, you must choose the option to Allow Guests to use the database. (screen shot) You can also choose to let students or teachers WHO ARE LOGGED IN, to see search results from a particular database by selecting the corresponding option. Guests should not be granted access to any of the databases for which your library has a subscription agreement for access only by your school's students, teachers, and staff.
Parameters that you will need to set up World Book and EBSCO databases that are available through AskRI are listed elsewhere on this page.
The username for EBSCO databases in One Search is in this format: [CustomerID].Main.eitws, for example: ns145913.Main.eitws The password for almost every RILINK member is ebs5173. Find your CustomerID.
