Summon™ has a Significant Impact on usage
Led by GVSU’s Head of Collection Development Doug Way, the
library compared year- over-year use of databases, journals,
and link-resolvers before and after the Summon™
implementation. Results show:
 Summon™ is enabling students to go directly to full-text, boosting the
use of a variety of databases. For example, Academic Search Premier
saw a usage increase of 92% and ABI/INFORM rose 354%.
 Journal usage is up significantly. Before Summon™, the use of
individual journals in which the library had invested was generally going
down. However, after Summon™‘s implementation at the close of
August 2009, GVSU’s top 100 journals showed an average increase in
usage of 48% and the top 1000 had increased usage of 82%.
 Increased usage occurs even for databases from content providers
that are not participating in the Summon™ service, a result of the
service’s indexing of the same content from alternate sources.
 Summon™ is having an impact on the type of content students are
choosing. For example, the library has seen a significant increase in
the use of newspaper content.
