MultiSearch the library search engine has been upgraded
Summon™ the web-scale discovery service that powers our “MultiSearch" library search engine has a new updated version.
The new version, Summon™ 2.0, provides a new modern interface with enhanced features. It is so much more than a single search box…. it serves as a front door to our collections.
It's designed with mobile in mind! Summon™ 2.0 is responsive to different devices, creating a seamless experience whether you are using your desktop, tablet or mobile device.
Summary of changes:
The url is the same so go the library website (http://library.gmit.ie/) and try it today or go to: http://gmit.summon.serialssolutions.com/
The familiar "MultiSearch" features will still be there - search refinement, abstract preview, saved items folder and links to full text.
Happy searching!
