10,000+ publishers represented 150,000+ journals at the article-level, most full-text searchable Over 1.4 Billion Summon records - 90 different content types ContentNumber of records Newspaper Articles530 million + Journal Articles220 million + Books & eBooks200 million + Theses and Dissertations22 million + Conference Proceedings21 million + Patents9.8 million + Research Guides29,000+ Library Catalog records235 million + Open Access records28.5 million + Institutional Repository records16.5 million + Government Documents23.9 million +

The Most Full Text Indexing More article and book content indexed in full text than any discovery solution

Superior Relevance Ranking Common metadata treatment across 80+ content types, from thousands of sources enables true relevancy ranking.

What do we mean by true relevance? –Because Summon searches across all content within a single index, we actually apply relevancy algorithms to all content equally –Results are not biased toward one content vendor or content type –A single, relevance ranked results lists allows for unparalleled granularity of facets – allowing users to further zoom in on the most relevant results

How is this different from other solutions? –All other discovery solutions are Hybrid models –Since they don’t return all results at once, and since all content is not treated equally, then the user isn’t really seeing the most relevant results across the library’s collection

Highly Customizable Summon is the most customisable discovery solution available

Highly Customizable –Easily modify look and feel –Seamless integration with library website –Integration with subject guides, course management tools, AtoZ lists –Web-based admin tools make most customisations possible without IT involvement

Advanced Customization Options Highly flexible –Unparalleled scoping of search boxes to select content types –Flexible display options for facets and advanced search forms –API allows for development of custom interfaces and integration with other library applications
