How can we improve Summon?

← Summon

Allow facet for "Online" (electronic) vs "In the Library" (physical)

A simple facet that helps users distinguish between electronic materials online and physical materials in the library.
Using the current "Refine your Search" facet for this purpose feels problematic: "Full text online" feels jargony in our context and also isn't intuitive that it would include non-textual electronic resources such as streaming audio and video, while "Library Catalog" feels similarly jargony and includes electronic records that exist in our catalog. This facet also includes other options that are valuable, but in the facet I am proposing simplicity in having only those two options would be ideal.

    Just saw this one on the NERS ballot and had a suggestion — you can use the Summon "Translations" section of the Administration Console to customize these labels. So you could change "Full text online" to "Online" and "Library Catalog" to "In the library" with any change being made to Summon.
