Libraries Have an Edge
The superior source for quality, credible content
Preferred for academic research and course assignments
2
….but
The easiest place to start the research process
3
Why Not the Library First?
No clear and compelling starting place
Difficulty identifying appropriate resources
General lack of awareness of resources
Existing search solutions too limited
Familiar Alternative
• Simple
• Easy
• Fast
5
Everything Has Been Leading To This…
• A single search box enables quick discovery of the
most credible resources anywhere the library has them
• Unbiased search results
• Customized to your library’s collection
• Available without authentication barriers
Only One Way to Meet Users’ Needs
• Architected like Google and other Open Web solutions
• Built from scratch and built to purpose
• Built to handle large data and deliver results fast
• Pre-Harvested content in a single unified index
• Moves libraries beyond federated search
8
How Fast is Fast? Built for Performance
80% of all queries  1 second or less

What’s wrong with hybrid “discovery” models?
• Hybrid models that combine indexing and
federated search are inherently problematic
• Disparate results sets are confusing
• Interfaces are difficult to navigate
• Federated results return slowly
• Deliver only a limited result set
• Faceting and filtering cannot be applied across the
collection as a whole
• No true relevancy ranking
10
Hybrid models compromise research integrity
• Results are always biased toward what is in
the index
Hybrid Results
Federated
Databases
Indexed Content
Index= 105,288 available
Federated Sources
DB1= 20 available
DB2= 30 available
DB3= 20 available
DB4= 10 available
DB5= 0 results (broken connector)
11
The Summon model: A Single Unified Index
The Summon model: Meets User Needs
Unified Results Set
• Instantaneous, relevance ranked results across
the library’s entire collection
• All content treated equally
• Simple. Easy. Fast.
