Add One Search Databases

Supported One Search databases

View all the One Search databases at: https://support.follettlearning.com/customer-tools/one-search.cfm. The list is updated regularly and gives databases a status of Available or Temporarily Unavailable.

One Search comes with free, preloaded databases to get you started. You can change the default list by adding or deleting databases.

EBSCO Databases

If you use EBSCO databases, you cannot use your generic One Search login. You need to contact EBSCO to receive a new EIT Login that is used specifically with EBSCO and Destiny.

Important: You do not need to set up an IP verification script if EBSCO is your only IP-verified database.

Obtain your EIT profile from EBSCO

  1. Send an email to support@ebsco.com with the following information:
    1. Subject line: EBSCOEIT Access: Follett – [enter school/district name here]
    2. EBSCO Customer ID or physical address for your school/district
    3. Authentication updates for the account (IP addresses you would like to register, etc.)
  1. Once you receive the EIT profile information from EBSCO, follow the Add Non-IP Verified Subscription Databases to One Search above to add EBSCO databases to the One Search service.
