Linking to functions available in Destiny Back Office but not yet available in Destiny Discover

You can make Learning Links to functions that are available in Back Office, but are not yet available in Destiny Discover. Before you start, you will need to get your the context for your district or single site by clicking on the link for your district or stand-alone school in the RILINK directory (District site or Main site). Once you are there, you will see the context at the end of the address, as well as the district or standalone site.

The district address or stand alone address will look something like this:

https://mercymount-ricat.follettdestiny.com/common/welcome.jsp?context=saas007_3806685

This your district or site URL and this is your district or site context

One you are there, you can see the site number by hovering over the link to your site and noting the number that appears at the end of the link to your school. The URL will look like this:

https://barrington-ricat.follettdestiny.com/common/welcome.jsp?site=104 <-- this is your site number.

You will need all three of these for the following Learning Links, substituting your site information as indicated.

Resource Lists that have 100 entries or more, that currently can't be moved a to Collection in Destiny Discover. You will need to determine the list number for the Resource List by viewing the list and noting the list number at the end of the URL. Here is the link to use with the substitutions that you need to make in blue:

https://newport-ricat.follettdestiny.com/cataloging/servlet/presentbooklistform.do?site=202&listID=173560&context=saas007_3811785

Advanced Searching to introduce students to the concept of Boolean searching, with the option to add OneSearch sites that are set up. Here is the link to use with the substitutions that you need to make:

https://newport-ricat.follettdestiny.com/cataloging/servlet/presentadvancedsearchform.do?l2m=Library%20Search.jsp?site=100&context=saas007_3811785

WebPath Express (if you have this subscription). Here is the link to use, and the substitutions that you need to make:

https://newport-ricat.follettdestiny.com/cataloging/servlet/presentwpesearchform.do?l2m=WebPath%20Express.jsp?site=100&context=saas007_3811785
