"The Summon service shows real promise as a single starting point for scholarly inquiry and discovery, significantly enhancing the ease with which our faculty, students, and staff can discover and use the print and electronic collections we buy, build, and lease."

"This new discovery platform has Google-like convenience and speed as a goal, and employs Google-like practices to achieve it: all the data and metadata that it searches are gathered up onto a central server where the resulting mass is deduplicated, regularized, indexed, and delivered back to the user."
