Library Research

This guide will get you started with research resources provided by Jerome Library. Access everything the library has to offer, or contact a research librarian.

Search Summon

Summon is the library's main search engine. It searches approximately 80% of what the library has: a combination of physical materials (like books, movies, and items from our special collections) and online materials from our subject databases, including journal articles, newspapers, magazines, and eBooks. Although it doesn't find everything the library has, it's a good place to start when you're searching for a broad topic. Search Summon using the search box below.
