Summon provides a single unified search across journals, magazines, newspapers, eBooks, streaming video, images, and research guides. Note:  it does not provide access to our physical collections; to find a print book or DVD, search the library catalogFor more about Summon and how to use it, click here.

Database Search Tips

Best bets for search success:

  • Use keywords or key phrases instead of complete sentences
  • Put quotation marks around key phrases (like "social media" or "strength training") to get more accurate results
  • Use AND to combine keywords or phrases: "social media" AND "mental health"
