About Multisearch
MultiSearch is MTU Kerry Library's’ name for the Summon™ discovery service, from ProQuest. It is a powerful, Google-like search engine but it only returns results you can trust. It allows you to search the library catalogue and most (but not all) of the library's online collections at the same time to find relevant information on any topic. Visit our A-Z of Online Resources page to find out which resources MultiSearch searches. This brief guide will give you the information you need to begin using Multisearch. Remember, if you need help, ask a Librarian!
