NOTE: Refreshed look delayed till later on 15th or early 16th.

Additional updates:

As well as the changes listed below, there are two new features coming:

1) Select a result source: In some results, you will see “More Options” where you can select the source of the item if we have access to it on multiple sites:

2) Login to Summon: Login to the Summon results to see… more results! When Users log into Summon (upper right), some results that were excluded due to some Providers’ rights policies become visible:

Note: the log-in screen that appears will be primarily for CWL users. For Users with OpenAthens Personal or Access Accounts, they must login as they do for other resources (ie here first https://openathens.library.ubc.ca/ ).

On December 15th, 2021, a refreshed look is coming to UBC Library’s Summon interface (that’s the discovery service from the Library’s “General” tab on the Homepage.

Some of the key changes are as follows:

1) Changes to left-hand facets:

• The look will be different (see images below)
• “Refine your search” will have boxes to tick & “Add collections beyond your Library” will be moved there
• “Content Type” will have a scroll bar for all types in results & boxes to tick
• “Publication Date” will remove its scroll range display and replace with set date ranges in boxes or a pen icon where you can specify a range
• Other facets will require a box to be ticked rather than a green checkmark

2) General changes:

• • The “Advanced” search button will be replaced with an “Options” button in the search box
  • The folder icon for “Saved Items” in a result is being replaced with a bookmark icon and moved to the left of the PermaLink icon
  • “Online” is now an icon on the right

3) Article results changes:

• • “Peer-Reviewed” moved to the right of the result
  • “Full Text Online” hypertext replaced with a button
  • REMEMBER => “Article PDF” & “View Complete Issue” links are due to Browzine’s integration within Summon. They are not Summon links

Current Summon View:

View December 15th:

There will also be some changes to how…

• Open Access articles look:
  • “Open Access” moved to right of result
  • “OpenVersion” moved up beside the Journal Article link, where available. NOTE: “OpenVersion” is our name for Unpaywall, a source of Open Access articles that may or may not be the final published version of the article
• Print book results look:
  • Locations are behind a drop-down menu & “Availability” is clearer
• eBook results look:
  • “Full Text Online” changed from hypertext to a button

However, functionality should remain generally the same.
