Seamless Access is a new tool for Single sign-on authentication, this is how they describe it:

SeamlessAccess enables true Single Sign-On. Your users will be able to sign in using their preferred sign in credentials, and will not be bothered for them again for all SeamlessAccess-enabled sites.

If you have a long search string, e.g.:

(multi-disciplinary OR interdisciplinary OR trans-disciplinary) research funding barriers

You want to make sure the words are spelled and spaced correctly. This is hard to do in the current basic search interface, except perhaps by going back and forth with the arrow keys, or typing your search string in Notepad for editing then copy-pasting it on to the text field.

This is somewhat better in the Advanced Search form but can still be problematic.

A search box that auto expands based on content would be nice.

There is currently no way to share a dashboard of Summon usage statistics in the new "Current" interface viewable for all users within our institution. Please create a way for Summon administrators to send a publicly viewable link to others at our institution without having to make everyone log in through the Client Center.

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.

Put ORCID ID in the dropdown options

Add PMID explicitly as an option under Advanced Search along with DOI and others. PMID is heavily used by health sciences fields.

We have an improvement request about the mobile screen on the Facet of Summon.
Because the "Apply" button is fade out if the user scroll down to the bottom.
Not only this, but there are "Search" button where the "Apply" button supposed to be, and the user click "Search" instead of "Apply" unconsciously.

As the result of this mis-clicking, the facet fails often, so we have a request to pin the "Apply" button on the screen even though the user scroll down to the bottom.

Please see the attachment as detail.

At present, the interface language of Summon and that of linked content has no connection at all.
So, sometimes abroad students have to change both language settings of Summon and those of contents.
It is troublesome and loses comfort in research.

As to Database Facet, it is recommended to facet search results by "Custom Database Name" field instead of default "Database Name" field.

It would be great to see Summon integrated with Google Scholar, allowing for our institution's Google Scholar content to be searchable within Summon.

This would eliminate many access issues that stem from users searching for open-access content that we either don't get from our providers, or that hasn't been indexed yet.

Alma has a feature that allows libraries to manage collections of titles by grouping them in categories for easy browsing. Primo sites can expose these curated collections with Primo's built-in Collection Discovery UI. The University of California at Irvine is using it to showcase award winning books in their collection, as seen in this example:

https://uci.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01CDLIRVINST:UCI

We think this is a useful feature and would like the same functionality to be available to Summon over Alma sites.

Syndetics offers video game enrichment via UPC, which integrates with things like Primo. While other discovery platforms support UPC integration, Summon does not. Summon should offer a UPC integration with Syndetics for enrichment.

Smaller academic libraries like community colleges will not have a lot of the recommendations suggested by bX Recommender, leading to too many "not available" results for students. For big university libraries who subscribe to 10 times the amount of content, this won't be an issues. For us smaller folks, it would be nice if we could limit bX recommendations to our own fulltext holdings so students would get usable results most or all of the time. bX recommender is otherwise a great tool for even the student who is new to college.

Hi --

Can someone include a way to search within databases in both the advanced search screen and a facet to narrow by database? This way if a result is returned, we can then narrow results down by db?

Clicking on a journal title to use the "search within a journal" feature eliminates the original search. It would be helpful to have this open as a search in a new window or browser tab so that the original search is not lost.

Abstracts are currently classified as Journal Articles, which causes confusion as readers are expecting to be able to read the full text of a published article that does not exist. Creating a facet for Abstracts would allow them to be correctly classified and would improve the user experience

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.

We would like to see the AGLC3 citation style available in the Summon UI replaced by AGLC4 (or at least AGLC4 be made available as an option).
