Performing the initial sync and set up correctly is key to getting the most out of your Biblionasium Destiny Integration. Before initiating Biblionasium setup procedure in Destiny, please ensure that you have Destiny administrator rights. If youย do notย have administrator rights, please contact yourย district administrator or theย previous administrator. Neither Biblionasium nor Destiny support have the ability to give you those credentials.
For questions about initial setup, sync and patron access levels, please call Destiny Support at 888.511.5114 + Option 2.
Initiating Biblionasium Integration
Step 1: Enable Biblionasium
In Destiny, click on Back Office > Site Configuration > Site Info. Confirm that โUse Biblionasiumโ is checked and that you as the library media specialist are selected as the โSupervisorโ.
Do not click Synchronize until the following steps are completed.

Note: If you do not see the Site Config / Site Info options in Destiny, contact your district administrator.
Step 2: Set up Destiny Homerooms
Your initial sync will assign all patrons and homerooms as they are set up in Destiny, so it is critical to ensure Patron Type and Access Level are assigned correctly and that each homeroom has one Supervisor assigned. If no Supervisor is assigned to a homeroom, the sync will not recognize it as a valid group.
Sync Readiness Checklistยน (via Follett School Solutions):
1. Destiny homerooms are set up, up-to-date and assigned to patrons accordingly.
Please see Follett document Setting Up Biblionasium in Destiny Discover for more information on importing and updating patron records.
2. All homerooms have the appropriate homeroom supervisor assigned. To confirm, go to Back Office > Manage Homerooms, and then review the Supervisor column.
To designate a homeroom supervisor:
- Go to Back Office > Manage Homerooms.
- Click “Edit”
next to the homeroom.
- To assign a supervisor, click Select.
- Search for the patron to assign as Supervisor, and then click Select next to that personโs name.

- Click “Save”
.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for each homeroom.
3. All homeroom teachers have an email address in their patron record. To confirm, go to Back Office > Manage Homerooms, and then review the Email column to make sure at least one is listed.
4. All homeroom teachers have a homeroom assigned in their patron record.
5. Each student is assigned to the appropriate homeroom in their patron record.
Step 3: Initiate Synchronization
Go to Back Office > Site Configuration > Site Info and click Synchronizeย to synchronize Destiny patron records with Biblionasium.
Note: You can elect to have the synchronization run automatically every 7 days.
