Setting Up and Customizing Your Summon Instance: Summon Admin

Summon Chat

Since Summon is where most searches will now take place, having the chat box in the same window as the results makes communication and getting help easier. Discovery service is where searches will take place so having the chat box in the same windows of the results makes everything easier, facilitates communication.

More Information about Open Access Indicator

NOTE from Serial Solutions: The new Open Access filter for Summon is a work in progress (or “beta”) as we will be continuously working with our customer community and publisher/provider partners to define and identify what is appropriate Open Access content to flag in the Summon index.  In addition, there may be issues related to linking, proxying of content and/or match-and-merge rules which may impact user expectations and that will be addressed based on customer feedback after investigation. Please note that investigation may take time and we appreciate your patience.
