Serials Solutions, a ProQuest business, and information services provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, have announced that Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) content available on the Ovid institutional research platform will be indexed in the Summon discovery service. Researchers will now be able to search the abstract and full reference (metadata) details of LWW's 280 journals in the fields of medicine, nursing and allied health professionals.
The LWW journal collection claims to be one of the most authoritative medical, nursing and allied health peer-reviewed resources in the world. Healthcare practitioners, researchers and students at medical, academic and corporate institutions globally access this content every day to make important decisions.
Used by more than 500 libraries in more than 40 countries, the Summon service claims to be the first and only discovery service based on a unified index of content, leveraging its unique 'match and merge' technology to combine rich metadata and full text from multiple sources to ultimately make items more discoverable. The Summon unified index has grown from 200 million items to more than one billion items - with the vast majority of article and book content full-text searchable - in just three years. Proven to increase usage of library resources, the Summon service consistently meets user expectations by delivering innovative new features for enhancing discovery.
