The UB Libraries' Catalog will help you locate the items you need. Find online books, magazines, journals, and multimedia in the UB Libraries collections.

We have more than 360 databases to help you locate journal articles, book chapters, reports and more. The Research Tips page is useful for those new to the library research process.

Reserve readings for your course may have been placed online in Course Reserve.

Faculty: The Libraries may be able to purchase ebooks or electronic copies of required course materials. Please email libdelivery@buffalo.edu directly if you are a Faculty or Staff member and would like the University Libraries to explore electronic access options for required course materials.

Delivery+ is the free document delivery service for UB faculty, staff and students.

UB has access to many ebooks via our databases such as eBook Collection and ProQuest Ebook Central.

If you are unable to utilize the above resources, we are happy to investigate purchasing or borrowing an ebook. Please submit your request via Delivery+.

Additionally, you may request book chapter(s) compliant with Title 17, Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act. This will be delivered electronically.

If you must return books or other library materials, you can:

• Return them to any library drop box located outside of Abbott, Lockwood or the Music Library.
• Drop off materials at any SUNY Library. These items will be returned to UB Libraries on your behalf.
• Mail to: University at Buffalo Delivery Services, 235 Lockwood Memorial Library, Buffalo, NY 14260.

Finding the full text of articles can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be!

If you search for scholarly publications from off-campus or using tools like Google Scholar, you can use a browser plug-in to help locate the full text of the articles you need.

The best part? These plug-ins are FREE (and some can connect to UB subscriptions too)!

The UB Libraries offer access to newspaper articles.
