Used the Advanced mode to search the contents of most of the online holdings of the Thompson Library.
Summon is perhaps best described as "Google for the library's online content - without the ads!" From a simple single search box, Summon searches full-text content as well as metadata from a wide variety of sources and returns a list of relevancy-ranked results. Thousands of publishers are represented in Summon, totaling over a half-billion journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, books, e-books, chapters, audio recordings, videos, documents, images, and other resources. Also included are millions of entries from reference works, and works of all kinds from open access archives and institutional repositories. Items listed in U-M Flint's
Library Catalog are indexed in Summon.
Note: Access to Summon is open to all users; but access to the full text of articles through
Article Linker is restricted to current faculty, students, and staff of the University of Michigan.
