UMBC, along with 17 other libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI), implemented a new OneSearch library discovery system called Primo. This system migration is a huge step forward to modernize the Library’s current functionality and usability, increasing cooperation with other systems across our campus and with other academic institutions across the state. Since it went live in May 2024, the Library has worked diligently to learn this new system to better assist faculty, students, and staff. 

Primo now powers the AOK OneSearch, the Library’s main search bar on the home page, streamlining search functions within UMBC’s resources, USMAI’s availability, and beyond. You will notice more features that will allow you to easily manage your loans, requests, and fines/fees. We encourage all UMBC community members to familiarize themselves with this new, exciting system by visiting library.umbc.edu to get started with a search!

Throughout the Fall 2024 semester, UMBC subject librarians will facilitate workshops (virtual and hybrid) on navigating Primo. Please visit our Events page to register for upcoming workshops. 

Check out our guide on the OneSearch here.
