What is Primo?
Primo is the library's new "discovery service," which means it provides one search box to search across all the library's resources.
Search options
You can search for resources of all types (books, articles, and more) simultaneously, or use the drop-down menu at the end of the search box to limit your search to the library catalog (formerly the Classic Catalog), articles, Special Collections and University Archives, the WorldCat database, or course reserves.
Simple Search
The default search in Primo is a simple search. Type one or more keywords into the search box, and click on the search icon.
You can limit your results using the facets (e.g., resource type, publication date, etc.) in the left column of the search results page.
