4. Impact
• IL Framework

• Critical evaluation
• Subject example:
Health and Social Care – 80% coverage
Level 1: Summon only
Level 2: Summon refresher and native databases
Level 3: Advanced searching

5. Challenges
• Coverage in Summon limited for some areas
• Low usage of other databases
• Volume of results
• Tension between the use of filters and the
Google-like search experience
• Summon agility
