Library Launches Summon Discovery Service



The Library will be launching its new resource discovery service Summon, on Monday 20th September. This discovery service allows users to search across a variety of library platforms from a single entry point, taking the complexity out of knowing where to begin your searches and helping make finding full text resources a faster process.

The Summon search box will be accessible via the Library homepage for easy access and the service will be implemented in 3 phases:


Phase 1. Search across the Library's eBook and eJournal databases to find full text articles, ebook chapters and other online resources such as reports and conference proceedings;


Phase 2. Search across the Library catalogue to find physical resources such as books, journals and DVDs;


Phase 3. Search across the University's research repository, ResearchOnline to find research outputs of Notre Dame authors and researchers.
