Primo Central: search your library and beyond with one search engine

Tired of wondering which database might have the information you need? There are no one-stop-shops available, but Primo Central may be as close as you can get. This Metasearch engine first searches our library catalogue for books, journal articles, government documents and more, but then has the option to extend your search to include multiple databases including (but not limited to):

  • Pubmed
  • Web of Science
  • SPIE
  • American Psych Association
  • Lexis-Nexis
  • Wiley-Blackwell
  •  Ingenta Connect
  • Springer


Come join us in the Witer Learning Resource Centre, on October 12th from 12:30-1:15 pm, for a short demonstration of this new resource. As always, you are welcome to bring your lunch.
NOTE: UWaterloo Library Services is providing access to Primo Central on a trial basis until December 2011, so give us feedback if you find this to be a valuable resource!
