We have implemented a "Read More" feature in our test catalogue. Here is a link to an example. It uses the lightweight jQuery plugin readmore.js from here, and is super easy to setup and has some great options. All it requires is that the [%- INCLUDE "opac/parts/record/contents.tt2" %] from the summary.tt2 be inside article tags like this:
<article> [%- INCLUDE "opac/parts/record/contents.tt2" %] </article> I'm sure there are a lot of ways that this could be done but it works for us.

If implemented, consider using specific descriptive phrases like "View complete summary” or “View full contents” instead of repeating the same link text multiple times on one page.
