SUPrimo: Introduction

SUPrimo is the Library's search tool.  Like Google, it has a simple search interface, just put in some search terms to find the material you need.  SUPrimo is a great starting point for your research. For more detailed searching, with more functionality, please use the individual databases in the A-Z list.  If you're not sure which is the best database to search for your subject please have a look at the subject LibGuides.
