The Summon search box is the default search box located on the RIT Libraries' homepage. Summon allows you to search almost all of the library's content from a single search box! In some ways, it is similar to a Google search of the library collection. Just as with a Google search, a Summon search will typically deliver many, many results. The key to success is to utilize the filters located in the margin to the left of your Summon search results.
To learn more about using Summon, watch the 15 minute captioned video embedded below. Or, if you're ready to do some searching, go directly to the Start Your Research With Summon box below and enter in a few search terms to get started.
