Enable OverDrive Integration

You can integrate Destiny with OverDrive®. Site administrators can override the district OverDrive configuration to define the materials patrons have access to.

Before You Begin

  • If your district is self-hosted, before you integrate Destiny with OverDrive, your Destiny Administrator must register the Destiny server as Production. See Server Identity.

    Important: If the server is set up as a Test server, you cannot access the OverDrive Integration.

  • Generate a report of required fields (see instructions below).
