Primo Searching: What to Expect

Primo VE searching key points:

  • Default search is "unexpanded," meaning that your patrons will only get physically or electronically available results unless they click a filter to expand their search. Your campus may have chosen to change the default search to expanded.
  • Boolean operators need to be capitalized in order to work
  • Users may choose to "personalize" their search results, which doesn't change the results themselves, but reorganizes them by category, based on the HILCC (Hierarchical Interface to Library of Congress Classification).
