Library upgrades its Primo search interface

Monday, July 31st, 2017

George Fox libraries are pleased to announce the release of a significantly improved interface for the Primo search and discovery tool.

Intended to provide a more intuitive and modern look-and-feel, the new interface provides easy access to a huge volume of books, media, newspapers, journal articles and more.

The old classic interface will remain available for several months before being permanently phased out.

Please send feedback and questions to library@georgefox.edu.

Register now for the last of the residential parking permits

Monday, July 31st, 2017

Residential students: If you have yet to register your vehicle, please do so right away, as the residential parking permits are going fast! Please allow up to two weeks for them to arrive to the mailing address you indicated. If you are arriving early for fall sports, the honors program, ASC, RA training etc., please be sure to use your George Fox address and mailbox number so your permit will arrive here when you do!

Commuters: The registration portal is ready and waiting for your vehicle registration! Please use either your George Fox mailing address and box number or the address that you will commute from as your “mailing address,” as it is getting to be too late to mail them to a home address if you don’t live locally. Please allow up to two weeks for your parking permit to arrive.
