Try PARSE-INTEGER and/or READ-FROM-STRING. BTW, there are a couple of
good ways to try to figure out this info yourself, even if you don't
have a textbook that covers it.

(A) Use APROPOS. Ie (apropos "integer" :User) would have given you all
function names (all symbols, really) in the main "User" package
containing the substring "integer".

(B) The ANSI Lisp spec (HyperSpec) and _Common Lisp the Language_ are both
available online. See the "Online References" section of
<http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/lisp.html>
