Short description
It’s easier than ever to locate your Destiny® resources! You can now use Google to search for resources from your Destiny catalog.	Broadcast any URL to computers within earshot.
Full summary
The new Destiny Discover™ extension* allows you to retrieve resources such as books, eBooks, Lightbox titles, WebPath™ Express 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 destinydiscover.com and find the name of the school you want to search. Your extension will be automatically configured. It's that easy. 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.	Google Tone turns on your computer's microphone (while the extension is on) and uses your computer's speakers to exchange URLs with nearby computers connected to the Internet. You can use Google Tone to send the URL for any web page, including news stories, pictures, documents, blog posts, products, YouTube videos, recipes—even search results. Any computer within earshot (including over a phone or Hangout) that also has the Google Tone extension installed and turned ON can receive a Google Tone notification. You need to be logged into your Google account to use Google Tone, and your Google profile name and picture will be displayed with the URL in a Google Tone notification. To receive a URL with Google Tone, Chrome needs to keep your microphone on. Google Tone may not work in loud spaces, over a distance, with a poor Internet connection, or on computers without a microphone or with a microphone incapable of detecting sound broadcast by Google Tone. By installing Google Tone, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/. Google Tone collects anonymous usage data in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.
