LexisNexis has joined more than a hundred other content providers participating in the new Summon web-scale discovery service from Serials Solutions. ProQuest and Gale contribute indexing of titles from 4,700 of their participating publishers between them, while LexisNexis, renowned for global information from legal, news and business sources, will enable Serials Solutions to index content from LexisNexis Academic, LexisNexis Congressional Digital Collection, and the redesigned LexisNexis Statistical. The Summon service is a pioneer in providing Google-like searching of library collections – from books and videos to e-resources at the article level, integrated and accessible from a single search box.
