Infiniti is a library management system used by schools, districts, and education departments to support catalogue access and resource discovery.

ManageBac+ integrates with Infiniti in two ways. Schools can enable Single Sign On so users can move between both platforms more easily, and they can use the API so Infiniti can retrieve curriculum tags from ManageBac+.

Overview

Infiniti Integrated Library System helps schools organise catalogue resources and improve access for students and teachers. You can find more information on the Infiniti website.

ManageBac+ supports the following integration options:

• Single Sign On (SSO), which allows students and teachers to move between Infiniti and ManageBac+ more seamlessly.
• API integration, which allows Infiniti to retrieve curriculum tags from ManageBac+.

Step by Step Navigation

Check the setup requirements

Before enabling the integration, confirm that users who need access in both systems meet the following requirements:

1. Each user must exist in both ManageBac+ and Infiniti.
2. Each user’s Infiniti username must match their ManageBac+ email address, or their Infiniti primary email address must match their ManageBac+ email address.
3. If auto profiling is required, each user’s Infiniti System Admin ID must match their ManageBac+ system admin ID.

Enable the integration in Infiniti

As an administrator in Infiniti, go to Settings > Settings > Integration > ManageBac.

1. Enable Authentication via LaunchPad if you want to use Single Sign On.
2. Enable Use ManageBac API if you want Infiniti to retrieve curriculum tags from ManageBac+.
3. Click Save.

Use curriculum tags

Curriculum tags are attributes pulled from ManageBac+. They may include academic programmes, subject groupings, subject names, and classes configured in your ManageBac+ account.

Once imported, these tags can be used in Infiniti to categorise resources that support specific curriculum needs.

You can choose to:

1. Import curriculum tags into the catalogue authority files.
2. Assign curriculum tags to individual student profiles.

If you import both tag sets, Infiniti creates a direct connection between each student and the library resources that are particularly relevant to them.

Link accounts using Single Sign On

To connect a user’s Infiniti and ManageBac+ accounts for Single Sign On:

1. Log in to Infiniti using the user’s usual credentials or existing SSO method.
2. In the page header, click Launchpad.
3. Enter the user’s ManageBac+ email address and password.
4. Choose Infiniti to complete the account link.

Once a user’s ManageBac+ and Infiniti accounts are linked, they can switch between them from the Launchpad button in Infiniti or from the Accounts Portal icon in the top right corner of ManageBac+.

Tips & Best Practices

• Use matching email addresses across both systems wherever possible, as this makes account linking more straightforward.
• Confirm user records in both platforms before testing Single Sign On.
• If you plan to use curriculum tags, review your ManageBac+ programme and class setup first so the imported tag structure is meaningful in Infiniti.

Warnings & Important Notes

• Single Sign On depends on user details matching correctly between ManageBac+ and Infiniti.
• If auto profiling is needed, the Infiniti System Admin ID and ManageBac+ system admin ID must also match.
