New features include relevancy-ranked results and updated information on how to access items. A major new resource is “Primo Central,” an index that provides easy access to over a billion citations to scholarly materials obtained from various publishers and open access repositories. With this new discovery tool, you will also be able to easily:

  • Save records, searches, and search histories
  • Add records and searches to a “favorites” cache
  • Save records to various citation managers
  • Create permanent links to records
  • Access materials with single sign-on
  • Request materials via Delivery/Interlibrary loan
  • Virtually browse books on the shelf around materials in your search results
