Discovery at Yale with Summon Yale University Library is embarking on a complete overhaul of how its collections – physical and digital, owned and licensed – are searched and delivered to its patrons.

Summon provides a single index of full text from many e-journal articles, ProQuest newspapers, and digitized books in the HathiTrust digital library.
