Allow users to browse the "Virtual Shelf"
The Virtual Shelf tab would appear for each record on the search results page. It would allow users to browse items based on the location of an item in the search results. Then the user could navigate through items "on the shelf".

Library Locations > Translation in english
The library's locations are currently displayed in German only. We would like to add the English terms.
With the language setting "German" the locations should be displayed in German - as it is currently. In addition, the terms of the locations should be displayed in English in the language setting "English".

Licence terms displayed in Summon search results
We would like to see the same functionality in Summon as is currently available in Primo - licence terms being visible in search results within the Summon interface.
As we are on Intota for our ERM, we would want to see Intota licence content linked to Summon search results and displaying there.

Increase Facet Limit
Summon facets are currently limited to only display 100 values for performance reasons. Would it be possible to increase this or ideally remove the limit without causing performance issues?

Add DOI registered by other registration agencies than CrossRef to "Citation Trail".
It seems that recent "Citation trail" is referring DOI registered by CrossRef.
But there are many publishers and universities in the world which use DOI registered by other registration agencies like JaLC, KISTI, CNKI and so on. It would be beneficial for Summon users in the world if it could be realized.38 votes -
Option to toggle WoS / Scopus citation counts in search results
It would be good if we could choose to make either WoS or Scopus citation counts visible in Summon, instead of having to have either both or neither switched on.
Because we no longer subscribe to WoS but do subscribe to Scopus, the only way we could get WoS citation counts removed from the Summon search results was to untrack Web of Science in Intota. We don't like to untrack resources that we've previously subscribed to, because doing so means we can't see any of the historical data attached to Web of Knowledge collection databases. This is just how Intota…

Integrate NII's "cites/cited by" Information to Citation Trail
NII(National Institute for Informatics) provides "cites/cited by" Information.
https://support.nii.ac.jp/ja/cia/manual_result
It is very desireble to integrate this "cites/cited by" information to "Citation Trail", for there is not much Japanese article information in current "Citation Trail".4 votes -
Add "Search within journals"
I'd like to cross-search between multiple journals I designate.
There is "Search within a journal," but it's only for one journal. Please add the facet for multiple journals or the function something like that.19 votes -
Fix EZproxy rewriting on altmetric links
Citation count links to Web of Science and Scopus are rewritten under an EZproxy session but links to altmetric are not.

Automatic holdings update message
Change the link behind the 'New!xx/xx/2019' message that displays when Ebook Central Perpetual and DDA automatic holdings have been updated so that the link displays the updated titles themselves, not the summary screen of total titles held in the package.
It's not possible currently to easily identify which titles have been added on that date to match against Libcentral & ensure all the titles we have access to display in Summon

Minimise requests by patrons for locally subscribed content by filtering via Summon Citation Linker
As a small team processing many document delivery requests, it would be good to minimize the number of requests for items already held in locally subscribed e-journals. Proposing that citation details entered via a local online form could be submitted to the Summon Citation Linker for checking and identification of subscribed content. If held, a return to the patron of a link to the full-text content would be provided. If item is not subscribed, form information is forwarded to library staff as usual. Would greatly benefit both the requester who can receive access to required content instantly and also library…

Apply the same tag to multiple Best Bets
We enter our databases as Best Bets and add tags for their title and title variations. There are a few instances where we have multiple collections with similar title variations, such as Joanna Briggs Institute. It would be a great improvement if we could add the same tag to multiple Best Bets and have all of them display when that tag is searched; this would also be more consistent with how our database entries in our 'classic catalogue' can be searched.

I would like Summon to have the functionality to connect to Endnote via Z39.50 allowing users to search all our resources.
I would like Summon to have the functionality to connect to Endnote via Z39.50 allowing users to search all our resources. Currently, we can only set up a connection to our Voyager catalog in EndNote, and our Voyager catalog does not have records for all the journals and databases we subscribe to.

"Citation Online" + Open Access logo in Summon
In the Summon results page, the mention "Full Text Online" is replaced by "Citation Online" for results beyond library collection.
I suggest an exception where this mention "Full Text Online" is not replaced for results beyond library collection, when these results are Open Access and when the Open Access logo is displayed.

Create widgets that include limits by publication
Currently you can create widgets with filters by discipline, content type, etc., but it would be very handy to create widgets that could search within a set of publications--for example, if you could add a query for a string of ISSNs and limit the search to certain highly specialized journals. This would be great for niche fields or some disciplines that are not represented in the list of disciplines (like rhetoric and composition).
