Please feel free to leave a review about how to make this extension even better or send it to us directly at: https://www.follettsoftware.com/customerportal/contact_suggest.cfm. The more feedback you give us, the better!

We’re working on making installation simpler – there is currently no way to configure the extension on behalf of your users. We are working with districts to improve this process to make the process much more seamless.

We’re small but growing – right now, our search only includes ebooks, WebPath results, and physical books in your library. We’ll be adding other resources over time to make sure we have the ones you are looking for. Our goal is to return all types of resources, collections, etc., so please be patient with us.

*The Destiny Discover extension is available for download by individual users or can be deployed across multiple sites using the district’s Chrome profile. Requires Follett Destiny 13.5 AU1 or higher. Compatible with Destiny Library Manager.

User reviews
2 stars because there is no option to not show books showing you searched on Google which that is a problem for people who doesn't like books or never wanted to read books from Destiny Discover. This is not useful. Also, that feature as I mentioned in the first sentence is actually important. The rest is fine (but might depend what people say) for some people. I wouldn't say this is useful unless you read books or read from Destiny Discover
