Summon - try our new search tool

We're excited to introduce you to Summon, a discovery tool that allows you to search across all the collections of Libraries and Cultural Resources (Library, Archives, Museum) along with scholarly material from thousands of publishers. Our intention is to allow you to discover previously-hidden local resources that may be relevant to your research.

We're labeling it as a beta because we know it's got a ways to go, and that's where you come in. Please use Summon for your searches, and let us know what you like about it, and where it still needs work.

Happy and fruitful searching!

What are the Odds?

What are the odds of ...?

The Book of Odds has been added to the Mathematics & Statistics Subject Guide (http://libguides.ucalgary.ca/content.php?pid=63439)

Search by keyword, or by odds (i.e. if you're wondering what has a 1 in 10 chance of x.)

Unfortunately it's quite U.S.-centric, so, for example, searches for Calgary, chinook, blizzard (!) didn't bring up any results.
