Summon  

Summon is a "discovery layer" that allows you to search the content owned and accessible to the College of Wooster Libraries, using a Google-like interface. This includes specific journal, book, media and Digital Resource Commons (DRC) content.

• you are first starting your research, to get ideas or background info

• you have had difficulty finding sources in other databases

• you need an alternative to Google - easy searching but with more credible results 

• you want specific books or media in a library catalog, instead try CONSORT or OhioLINK

• you want historical newspaper articles, instead try Historical Cleveland Plain Dealer, Historical Los Angeles Times, Historical New York Times, Historical Times of India

• you want business research, specifically country, company and industry reports

• you want legal research, specifically legal journal titles, case reports and legislation

• you want the advanced features of searching a specific database

Please contact the Research Help Desk for personal assistance.
