What is Primo Library Search?

Primo Library Search is a Chemeketa Community College library database used to find books, articles, and media in online and physical formats.  It is the only library database that searches for print books, magazines and DVDs in the library's collection.  It also finds materials in Summit and other partner libraries and displays options for requesting those materials and having them sent to you at Chemeketa or via email free of charge. 

If you wanted to check out a copy of The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, you would use Primo Library Search to determine if Chemeketa Community College library owns a copy. If a Chemeketa copy is not available, you may find and request a copy from one of our partners. If you wanted the March 2020 issue of Sports Illustrated, you would use Primo Library Search to determine if the library subscribes to Sports Illustrated and if so, whether or not the March 2020 issue is available to check out.

Primo Library Search also searches for articles, books and media available in electronic formats in most of the other databases Chemeketa subscribes to.
