Book Search

The Primo search box on the Library's home page is a gateway to thousands of books.

To find print books (and ebooks) in the SJU libraries' collections, limit your initial search to Books+ (Library Catalog). You may also conduct a search, and then limit your results to Resource Type books. To find print books only, limit again to those "Available at the library". To find ebooks only, limit instead to those "Available online".
