We are excited to share that PressReader content can now be accessed within Primo and Primo VE. Students and researchers can now access and search PressReader's extensive collection of newspaper and magazine content directly from the Primo interface, alongside the rest of your library’s databases. This will enable them to easily find and access the content they need from PressReader faster and easier, while simultaneously enhancing the library’s holdings.
