What is Library Search?
The Discovery part of Alma that is seen by students and staff to search for Library resources - booth print and electronic - is known as Primo. We have chosen to use the name Library Search for this part of the system.
There are are many similarities with the previous search system, Summon, but as everything is now in one system there will be some differences for students and staff as they no longer need to go to a separate Library Catalogue to request print items. Everything is done from Library Search/Primo.
