3. Now that you have both necessary apps. Open up the Destiny
Quest app to get started.
 The first time you log in, it
will ask you your Library URL.
Enter:
destiny.johncooper.org
 Then you will choose “John
Cooper Upper School
Library”
 Finally, you will log in with
your Cooper login
information.
*FYI, Destiny Quest does work on phones,
but the digital reader app does not.

4. Search the catalog for books. You’ll see when you come across a
downloadable eBook by the description “electronic resource.”

5. Click on the book you want. Then click “Check Out”
Then click
“Read Now”

6. After clicking “Read Now” the Follett Digital Reader app will automatically
open. The first time it opens, you will need to log in. Our FollettShelf address
is: wbb06269 Then use your same Cooper login for the User Name and
Password.
*If you’re
using
Android,
Adobe Air is
needed and
it will ask
you to install
at this point.
It only takes
a moment.

7. Next, your book will automatically open. You can now continue
to read it online. This will enable you to highlight, use the
dictionary and take notes.
When you’re
finished reading,
tap the “close
book” icon.
You will be asked if
you want to keep
the book checked
out OR if you are
ready to return the
book early.

8. In addition to reading your book online, you may choose to
download your book. After you close your book, you’ll be taken to
digital reader menu. You can click “Download” to download the
book.

9. The advantage to
downloading the book is so
that you can read it without
being connected to the
Internet.
The disadvantages to
downloading it is that you
can’t highlight or make notes.
Choose which option works
for you.
However, you can always
move the book back online by
choosing the “move online”
button.

10. Final Tip #1
Suppose you only want to see eBooks that you can
download. The way to see those is to click “Resource Lists”
and click on the “US: eBooks” list.

11. Final Tip #2
If you see an orange box that says “ASK” this is typically going to be
a Gale eBook resource. You will only be able to access this from the
desktop version of our catalog, since it sends you to the Gale
database to view the eBook. They are not downloadable.

12. Final Tip #3a
Once you’ve closed
your book, you can
always go back to it
by opening the
Follett Digital
Reader app.
It will show the
eBooks that you
have checked out.
Simply click on the
book to open it.

13. Final Tip #3b
Additionally, you can open the Destiny Quest app and click
on “Account” to see ALL of the books you have checked out,
not just the eBooks. Click on “Titles Checked Out” for the list.
Click on the eBook you wish to open.

14. Tip #4
To bookmark a page, simply tap the ribbon bookmark
graphic on the top of the page. It will turn red to
show that it’s been marked.

15. Final Tip - Tip#5
The Destiny Quest mobile app isn’t just for checking out eBooks.
You can request a hold on a print book, check your fines, create
lists, create a bookshelf and much more. Have fun exploring! Let
us know if you have questions!
