Primo is Live!

The Grinnell College Libraries has switched over to Primo, our new library catalog and search system.

With this cloud-based solution, which replaces the current library system, students, faculty, and staff are able to discover Grinnell College Libraries' rich collections all within a simplified display and a single column of results. This includes access to books, media and more from Grinnell’s collections and from libraries around the world (WorldCat), as well as access to many of the articles and primary sources available through Grinnell’s 100,000+ journals and collections.

The Primo platform will enhance the search process in such a way that information is easily discoverable across a range of devices.

The Primo search and discovery system has been integrated into the libraries' website or can be accessed directly.

Please take a look at our new guides: the New Library Catalog Features (PDF) guide and the Primo Quick Tips subject guide. 

If you have questions, please contact us via email or live chat or stop by the circulation desk in Burling or Kistle.
