Discovery Reinvented

The first web-scale discovery service to market, the Summon service revolutionized library discovery.  In order to continue to realize our mission to return researchers to the library, we recognize discovery services must innovate to deliver a compelling discovery experience that keeps pace with ever-changing user expectations. 

We’re once again pushing the envelope for what library discovery can be.  We’ve performed ongoing usability testing, listened to our customers, and analyzed real user data.  Combining this knowledge with the latest technologies and design techniques, we’ve created Summon 2.0—new features and a new interface for your Summon discovery service.

So much more than a single search box.  With Summon 2.0, we’re taking discovery to the next level.  Delivering contextual guidance for researchers and empowering librarians to directly impact the discovery experience in order to lead users to better research outcomes.

Summon 2.0—More modern, engaging and powerful

• Streamlined, modern interface familiar to users of open web search engines
• Summon® Topic Explorer™ helps users jump-start the research process
• Summon® Scholar Profiles™ encourages exploratory author searching
• Automated Query Expansion™ ensures relevant content is not missed
• Connect users to librarians, librarian-curated research guides and recommendations
