Primo brings together books, articles, media, and more, whether they’re on our shelves or across OhioLINK, into one easy-to-use platform. This page will help you get started, learn the basics, and know where to turn for support.

You’ll no longer need to jump between Summon, CONSORT, and OhioLINK. It’s all available in one unified search.
Placing Requests and Managing Your Account
You can request most items directly in Primo:
-
Use the “Get It” button to place holds on physical materials.
-
Use Interlibrary Loan for items not available through Primo or for advanced requests
-
Renewals for Denison items are automatic; OhioLINK loans follow state policies and may need manual renewals.
All your account activity will be visible through a single dashboard after logging in.
Searching for Materials Previously Available in CONSORT
- In Primo, materials from Kenyon, Wooster, and Ohio Wesleyan are now part of OhioLINK Search. Use the same “Get It” option to request these items.
Where to Get Help and Training
We’ve created a range of support options for faculty, staff, and students:
