Why should I sign in?

When you sign into Primo, you are able to do the following:

*
Set preferences for your current and future sessions. You can set your preferences so that they reflect the way you usually search, and save them for future sessions.
*
Add items you found and queries you submitted permanently to your e-Shelf. You can save items from your results list to your basket and you can save queries that you have performed for future use.
*
Set alerts for your queries. You can set a query to become an alert, that is, to run automatically and send you email notification once it locates new items answering your search criteria.
*
Access external licensed resources. The institution offers licensed information resources to its users. Once you sign in, you can search and retrieve items from these additional resources.
*
Use library services. You can benefit from library services such as requesting or recalling items.
*
Tag and review items. You can assign words or phrases to items to help you organize and locate items later. Since tags are made public, other users can view your tags and use them. Additionally, you can review items to share your opinions with others.

Why should I sign out?

You should sign out of Primo so that your searches remain private and your personal settings and e-Shelf are not tampered with by anyone else.

What is e-Shelf?

The e-Shelf is a location where you can store and organize items you find during your Primo session. From the e-Shelf, you can view and manage the following information:

*
Items you have found and added to your e-Shelf basket.
*
Your library card information, including titles on loan, reserved titles, etc.
*
All of the queries that you have performed during the current session.
*
All of the queries that you have saved in the current and previous sessions.

*

Note: To add items permanently to your e-Shelf, you must be signed into Primo. If you are not signed into Primo, the information in your e-Shelf will not be saved when you finish the current session.

What are preferences?

Using the My Preferences page, you can tailor the Primo interface so that it reflects the way you usually search. For example, you can specify the default language you are working in, how many result items will appear in the Results panel, your default
e-mail address, and your cell phone number.

Note: To keep your settings for future sessions, you must sign in and save your preferences.
