In the MARC record, Destiny creates a new 856 tag with the digital content name in subfield _y, the URL in subfield _u, and the expiration date (if specified) in subfield _x.

The content name appears as a link in the Explore! section of Title Details. When a patron clicks the link, the content opens in a new browser window.

The digital content itself is stored on the Destiny server. Because these files can be quite large, your Destiny Administrator may have set size restrictions to prevent the server from running out of space.
