DESTINY CATALOG. Search for print books, and digital books from Overdrive, Capstone and Follett, through the Destiny Catalog. Destiny is accessible through the district's single sign-on portal -- Classlink iOS app or https://launchpad.classlink.com/dpisd If using the links below, use student/staff network log-in, or request Capstone log-in from librarian.
Note: When “opening” a Capstone or Overdrive/Sora title through the Destiny catalog, you will be automatically redirected to the platform’s webpage. E-books may be checked out and read through Classlink, but can only be downloaded and read offline using the provider’s app (available in Self-Service)..
The Destiny catalog has two looks: Destiny and the new Destiny Discover. Log-in to access all features, and use the menu bar on the left to toggle between the two.
