Summon: Including Abstracting and Indexing Databases
- Product: Summon
What abstracting and indexing (A&I) databases are covered in the Summon service?
For a complete list of A & I resources in CDI, most of which require authentication, filter the Summon CDI Collection List with CDI Type set to Abstracting and Indexing database (A&I).
By tracking A&I databases in the Client Center or Intota, you ensure that "citation online" records are available to your patrons in Summon search results even if full text is not available from the collection. Read more about how A&I works in Summon here.
If you do not want Citation Online results to display alongside full-text online items in the default results set, the Exclude Citation Online setting in the Summon Administration Console General section provides the option to take advantage of the rich content in their A&I resources yet limit display to only those items that exist in full text at your library. Records for such items will show the "online" starburst icon. Items not available in full text at your library are hidden from the results set when the Exclude Citation Online setting is ON. These items are displayed when a user expands results using the "Add results beyond your library's collection" filter.
Authenticated Web of Science and Scopus users will also see citation counts displayed in Summon records.
