Welcome to Destiny Quest & Destiny Discover/Follett Shelf!
DESTINY QUEST
You will use the above link to SEARCH & LOCATE MATERIALS, PLACE MATERIALS ON HOLD and RENEW ITEMS at the Blackfoot Public Library. Once you have a library card that has been activated, you are ready to begin! When you click the above link, you will see the Destiny Quest homepage; there you can see the current “top ten” books list, new arrivals and a place where you can begin a personal list of materials. When you click “Login” (in the top navigation bar) you will be prompted to enter your Username / Password.
The Username is your library card number including the capital P at the beginning. The Password is your last name using a capital letter at the beginning. Example:
Username: P0033333 (library card barcode # including the capital P, zero, zero…)
Password: Baggins (last name beginning with a capital letter)
If you know the name of the item you want, type the title in the “Find” space at the top. Once you enter your search you are given new information and options such as:
- how you can further narrow your search (menu on left side);
- whether the item you want is “in, out or lost” (on the image of the book, CD, DVD):
- the ability to add the item to your own list (drag & drop to menu on right side);
- an item’s format: book, CD, DVD (below the image of the book, CD, DVD)
Hold / Renew items:
- click any title that appears and you will be given the option to place a hold;
- click “My Info” (in the top navigation bar)- you will see the books you have checked out or on hold already;
- click “Renew” to keep an item longer;
- click the “Holds” tab, then the “X” to cancel an item on hold.
DESTINY DISCOVER / FOLLETT SHELF
When you click “Follett Shelf” next to “Login” (across the top navigation bar), you will be linked to Destiny Discover / Follett Shelf where you can search for materials in much the same way you did previously. ***This page is basically another view of the same information you searched previously.***
If you have signed in, however, there are some additional, helpful features to be found on this page. Click the three stacked lines in the upper lefthand corner of the webpage and you will see a pop-out menu that allows you to:
- personalize your profile;
- see what books you have checked out and when they are due to be returned;
- see any holds you may have placed;
- see any fines you may have;
- see any “favorites” you may have entered.
No computer? No Problem!
Everything you can do on the computer, you can do on your phone or tablet- there’s an app for that!
