Looking for library books and journal articles? You're best bet is Primo. 

Primo is a simple, all-in-one search that accesses all SFC Library materials, including articles, books, videos, digital media from a single search box! (You can find the search box on the library homepage)

Learn more about using Primo to find library materials with the library's comprehensive Primo guide or check out some of the intro videos below.

 


Check out the library's Primo guide for more videos and Primo search tips.

Primo v Databases A-Z

Primo aggregates all of the library's resources in a single, easy to use search box. Primo is the best starting point for your research and makes sure you aren't overlooking any important library resources.

However, it is still important to use the library databases as many of them will allow for more search features, precise searching and often turn up content that can get buried in the large lists of results from Primo (Learn more about the library's databases on the next page in this guide!).

TL;DR - Effective research will involve both Primo and individual library databases!
