What Can I Find in Primo One Search?

What can I find in Primo One Search? In Primo you can find your library account. Sign in to see items you borrowed, renew your items or save useful searches to your personal "e-shelf" for later us. You can also find physical items on the library shelves such as books, dvds, cds and print journals. You can also find non full-text books and articles available through interlibrary loan. You must choose the "include results with no full-text" option to search for items that can be requested from other libraries. You can also find online items from library databases and vetted free sources, such as journals, magazines and some newspapers, electronic books, streaming videos and more. BUT not everything from library databases is included in Primo. Instead use individual library databases to find encyclopedia articles, more extensive newspaper results and perform more powerful searches, especially for primary sources, biographies, trade journals, graphs and subject headings.
