Summon demonstration
Wednesday June 22nd
3.30pm
North Training Room
For Library staff
Representatives from Serials Solutions and its sister company, Proquest, will provide a demo of Summon on Wednesday June 22nd at 3.30pm in the North Training Room.
Summon is one of the 'next' generation' resource discovery tools currently on the market.
Summon is modelled on the Google-style approach of building, and then searching a unified index of available resources, instead of searching each database individually. Tools such as these provide unified indexes of the licensed scholarly publications combined with locally held content (like the catalogue).
These tools are the 'next generation' of the present metasearch tools, (e.g. Research Pro). They query the subscription databases and return a single set of results.
The demo provides an opportunity to learn about one vendors offering in this area and to investigate the technology behind the resource.
