Summon Update

The Summon discovery service is a mechanism for searching a large range of the Library's content concurrently. It covers a large range of our database and eJournal services and we are currently adding all of the book and eBook content from our collections to the service.

This process is partially complete so you will now see book titles appearing in your results. When you click on these titles you should be taken to the Library catalogue record for that item so that you can check where it can be accessed and whether it is currently available.

While the implementation of these records is fine-tuned you may find this linking is not always working as it should. We expect this to be resolved soon and appreciate your patience in the meantime. There is no need to report any linking problems to the Library.

The Summon discovery service is available to search from the University Library homepage.
