Getting Started with Destiny eBooks

  • The Big Picture:  How it Works
    • All books and eBooks in a school's library collection are catalogued in Destiny.
      • Follett eBooks in Destiny are organized on Follett Shelf, a "virtual shelf" which launches whenever an eBook is selected from a Destiny search, or when a user opens the shelf from the Follett Shelf tab in Destiny Quest or the Follett Shelf sidebar button in Destiny classic.
        • eBooks opened from Follett Shelf open in the Enlight eReader. This is a new browser-based eReader with two versions: 
          • Enlight Cloud can be used on any device with an Internet connection and a browser (computer, tablet, smartphone).
          • Enlight App can be installed on IOS and Android devices. Enlight App installation requires a unique school Follett Shelf URL.
    • Directions for accessing Destiny eBooks on Follett Shelf and using the Enlight Cloud eReader are included in the "Getting Started" document below.
