Find Articles

Primo - The Library's Search Engine. Primo provides simple, one-stop searching for books, e-books, articles, videos, newspapers, and more. You can search many of the Library's databases directly from this interface. You can access self service features as well as save searches, create folders, and labels to organize your research. Please note that you will automatically sign into Primo if you have authenticated through another university system (Nest, Gmail, Workday, etc). That said, if you opt to go straight to Primo, then you will need to click on one of the sign in links and authenticate via university systems to access your account.

After your search, use Tweak your results, on the left menu, to limit to Peer-reviewed journals.

Can't find the Article or Book You Want?

If you can't find the article or book you want in the library catalog or the online e-book collections, you can request to borrow a copy from another library. It will be delivered to you here at SJU.

Please note: When searching for a book to request, you aren't required to login or state your university until after you click the request button.  After you choose Saint Joseph's University, there is a further screen where you choose your home library, FA Drexel or JW England.  And then you still have to click the request button again to finally submit the request.

EZBorrow books should be shipped to whichever library you have specified as your home library,
