Summon: A New Library Search Tool

Summon
The MSKCC Library is pleased to announce the launch of Summon, a new library search tool.

What is Summon?
Summon is a web-scale discovery tool which enables users to search multiple collections through a single search box. MSKsearch is a customized search feature developed using Summon’s API.
