Webcast: Returning the Researcher to the Library: The Summon™ Service in Real Life

The final session in the “Returning the Researcher to the Library” series takes the discussion from problem to solution: the groundbreaking Summon™ web-scale discovery service. Launched in July, the Summon service is being recognized as the library's new ally in taking back its role as the starting point for research and exposing the expanse of its content riches. Join us as Serials Solutions’ Mike Buschman moderates a panel of speakers from early-adopter libraries on “Web-Scale Discovery at Work”. They'll cover the high points of implementation and response from staff and users, as well as answer any questions from webcast participants.

To date, this four-part webcast series, “Returning the Researcher to the Library,” has presented industry experts speaking on:

-Understanding the Next-Gen User

-Building ROI through Discovery: Leveraging the Value of the Library Collection

-Defining Web-Scale Discovery: The Promise of the Unified Search Index for the Library.

Join us live on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time for this one hour webcast event.
