Tips for Using Knox Primo

As with any database, you can search Knox Primo using keywords that describe your topic. 

  • Use as few terms as possible that describe your topic. For instance, if you searched using the phrase "laws governing moral conduct in ancient rome" you would not retrieve any items. A better search uses just the fewest terms to describe your topic, like this: rome law
  • When using search operators you must capitalize them!
    • Use OR to combine synonyms:  gay OR homosexual
    • Use AND to combine different concepts and group synonyms within parentheses:  (gay OR homosexual) AND ancient greece
  • Use the facets in the left column of your results screen to narrow your search. 
  • When you find a record for a book that is highly relevant, you can often find other books by clicking on a relevant subject headings link:
