More about Summon Searching
What is Summon?
Summon is a discovery tool that allows you to search most everything the University Libraries owns or has access to through one simple search box. Results will include books (print and electronic), articles, theses/dissertations, video and more. We like to think of this as a Google search but for library materials only. The Summon search tool enables users to limit in the following ways:
- Format (just books or articles, etc.)
- Year
- Scholarly, peer-reviewed
- Full-text availability
- Topic (subject)
- Author
- Location
