"Game changing" was the way the Serials Solutions publicist described its new Google-like search engine, Summon. It was announced at ALA Midwinter-too early to review for this issue of ONLINE. But we'll remedy that. Summon has the potential to change how end users perceive the searching of library materials. Since students rarely comprehend the nuances among the types of items in library collections, although they are so obvious to librarians, it's time to change the necessity of having this knowledge. All digital materials and physical materials represented digitally will be equally discoverable through Summon. As a proponent of "universal search," Summon claims it "goes beyond federated search." This is particularly interesting in light of the University of Wyoming's experiences in implementing federated search, as told by the school's reference librarians in their article that starts on page 26.
