 <em>'The Ivy League university was a beta partner for the Summon discovery service in 2008. In the group’s report “Next-Generation Systems at Dartmouth College,” released in September 2008, the No. 1 need was listed right at the top, on the very first page:'We currently have a super abundance of resources accessed through a complex, disjointed discovery layer…. We need to strive for much simpler ways to find much more relevant information.' One search box to rule them all—federated discovery of all available resources (print, media, electronic resources) from a single point of entry is an overarching need. Next generation services must radically enhance resource integration and move us on from the isolated data silos of the present'.</em></li>
