NIU Primo


Primo description:

  • Single search box/unified search engine (similar to Google Scholar)
  • Cross-discipline retrieval of material provides an overview of research in topic area (in-depth searching better achieved by searching subject specific databases)
  • Uses filters called facets to limit search results (e.g. articles vs. books, dates, language, full-text)
  • Fast retrieval of full-text articles either by a link to the article or through Information Delivery Services (IDS)
  • Intended audience – researchers (both novice and seasoned) seeking a broad scope of material on a topic

Primo contains:

  • NIU’s online catalog (including print & e-resources, scores, video, etc.)
  • Articles (full-text when available. Off-campus users will need to authenticate.)
  • Huskie Commons Digital Repository content
  • For more information, contact your subject specialist or stop by the reference desks in Founders Library or the Music Library
