Summon - an easier way to find online journal articles

If you are planning to do some research during the summer vacation and are looking for an easier way to find online journal articles, you now have access to Summon. Instead of having to look in each individual Athens database for articles, you can use Summon to search through all the Athens journal databases. So, if you would like to have a look at Summon and give it a try you can access it via the UCB online Login screen. You will find the Summon link in the menu on the right of the Login screen. Please remember that the 'finished' version of Summon will not be available until September, so it's currently on it's 'trial-run'.
