How to use Primo@Lib: Search Results

Refine your Results


Filters enable you to refine broad searches by narrowing your results, which can be useful when a search returns a large number of results. Applying multiple filters simultaneously produces a targeted set of results.

You will be able to see the 'Refine your results' panel on your Primo results page.

 

You can apply single or multiple filters to narrow your search results.
