  6. When you finish, click Back, and then click Close.

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 To add subscription databases to One Search: above to add EBSCO databases to the One Search service.
