Using the Primo Library Search (Self-Guided)

This tutorial will introduce you to the basic functions of the Primo Library Search. After completing it you should be able to conduct a search.

The Tutorial

This tutorial works well with Chrome and Edge, less well with Firefox.  It can be completed on a smartphone, but requires switching back and forth between instruction and database. A larger screen is recommended.

This link will open in a new tab. Clicking the Next button will submit your answers to questions or take you to the next page of the exercise.

There will be a brief self-test at the end, and you will have an opportunity to generate a certificate of completion.
