NEW OPTIONS FOR FINDING LIBRARY RESOURCES!

The Moorpark College Library has implemented Primo--a new tool that offers several options to help students find books, journal articles, and other resources.

You can (1) search for books and other physical materials located in the Moorpark College (MC) Library, (2) search for journal articles in a select group of the Library's databases, (3) do a combined search for MC books and articles (1 and 2 combined), and (4) search for books and other material located in the Moorpark, Oxnard, and Ventura College libraries.

To use Primo, just hit the "Library Resources" button in the center of the Library's home page.  Then use the search field at the top of the next page.  The drop down menu allows you to select from the four options.  An advanced search capability allows you to combine terms and limit your results by date, type of material, and language.





If you want to search the Online Library Catalog using the traditional method, or if you want to search a specific database, the green buttons on the Library's home page provide access to the catalog and to the alphabetical and subject lists of databases.

For help with Primo, or any electronic or print resources, contact a Reference Librarian.  For Reference Desk contact options, hit the "Ask a Librarian" button on the Library's home page.
