The Summon unified discovery service allows the researcher to quickly search, discover and access reliable and credible library content. It goes beyond federated search, beyond next-generation catalogs to create an all-new service for libraries. Through one simple search, Summon provides instant access to the breadth of authoritative content that's the hallmark of great libraries -- digital and print, audio and video, single articles to entire e-journals, and every format in between.

No need to broadcast searches to other databases -- it provides one search box for a researcher to enter any terms they want and quickly get credible results in one relevancy ranked-list.
