What do you call your discovery search engine?

[Stephanie J. Adams]

We currently use Summon but it is branded Eagle Search.  The mascot at Tennessee Tech University is Awesome Eagle, hence the "brand."  We will most likely be switching our discovery service in the next year or two but I imagine we will maintain the local branding of Eagle Search.  Also, as Summon does not index a variety of EBSCO databases and some of the more non-traditional databases that contain primarily images or drug trials (Artstor, Lexicomp, etc.), we maintain a list of databases on our website to show the student what is searched within Eagle Search.  If a database is indexed in Summon, we place an eagle head icon next to it.
