NOW HIGHLIGHTING UB & SUNY MATERIALS
The Everything search engine allows researchers to use one search box to discover reliable library content. The default search features Everything UB + SUNY: physical materials held by UB and SUNY and online materials (including articles) held by UB. The search can be narrowed or expanded by selecting a different scope from the dropdown menu.
You can search within different areas of the UB Libraries and SUNY collections, including:
- Everything UB + SUNY - materials owned by UB and SUNY, and print and electronic articles available at UB;
- Everything UB - materials owned by UB, including articles;
- Online Resources - UB materials available online, including articles, ebooks, and more;
- UB Libraries Catalog - materials owned by UB, excluding articles;
- Articles - print and electronic articles available at UB;
- SUNY Catalog - materials owned by UB and SUNY, excluding articles;
- Everything UB + SUNY + WorldCat - materials owned by UB and SUNY, articles owned by UB, and records in the WorldCat database.
