Naxos has been added to Summon. It is the first significant audio database added and there are some issues as it has to use a different way of linking. Some of the links are not resolving correctly yet, giving the message “Album Information is currently not available”. Also the way the URLs are embedded means that the links will not work off campus at this point. Cheers, Anne
Clearly there has not been any progress on having a test version of Summon to experiment with different products. I know you asked. It is a pity as the outcomes described above are not much use to our users and in a way detract from Summon as a product. Perhaps we could use that angle with SS?

Yes, we have been pushing a test database. They do have one but it is not accessible outside SS. This is problematic with the testing of EAD for instance. To be fair it is a massive database and NAXOS has to be customised for each library. Deirdre, the link was interesting. Cheers Anne
