You can enable your library catalogue to be searched from an external application, i.e., from within another web application, e.g., LibPaths, Learning Management System, directly from a school intranet page, from your school website, or within your school portal. This allows you to open up your catalogue to the wider school community by embedding an Infiniti search box into these locations, or by creating links between other applications and your catalogue.


Note: Be aware of copyright restrictions, especially with digital resources, when embedding Adit in external locations.


Check Account Availability


Enabling search access of your catalogue requires a suitably configured account to be present in Infiniti. Before configuring Adit as described below, check and confirm a suitable account is ready for use:

  1. Go to: SETTINGS > Users
  2. Locate the Guest user.
  3. Check the Library Groups is Guest Opac  - Adit. Note: This is a default group in every Infiniti. If it is missing it has been deleted and must be reinstated. 
  4. Go to: Configure > Access Control > Library Groups and confirm the Sites this group can search.
  5. Go to: Configure > Access Control > Circulation Rights and confirm the Sections this group can search.
  6. Go to: SETTINGS > Displays > Public Portals.
  7. Enable Public Portals - .
  8. Public Portal Visitors Treated As - Guest user mentioned in Step 2 above.


Enable Adit


Go to: Configure > Integration > Adit tab


Best practice is to check with your IT Team before proceeding with the following:

  1. Use Adit - switchto enable.
  2. Authentication Token - enables Adit to connect from another web application. Note: You can regeneratea new token at any time but previously generated links will become unusable. You only need to regenerate a new token if you are concerned that an Adit link has been maliciously established.
  3. All Guest Account for IP - enter the IP range to allow anonymous access via the guest user link. Note: Access from outside this IP range will require authentication.
  4. Allow Guest Account Access Globally - switchto allow anyone to access your library from anywhere if they have access to the Adit widget. Note: You need to consider your copyright responsibilities if you enable this option.
  5. to save your changes.
  6.  - generate the HTML code to embed onto your web application.
