Find It!, which can be accessed from the Libraries' homepage, is the single-search box that simultaneously searches the library catalog, an immense index of articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers, as well as unique digital content from the library.

Numerous options allow the search results to be refined, including by type of resources, subject, date, and more. Selecting 'Advanced search' will enable more precise searching.

To search, type in keywords for titles, authors or subjects.

See the Find It! FAQ page to learn more.

Tips on identifying and using ebooks:

When you search in Find It!, you're searching in the Library Catalog, Local Digital Collections (Special Collections' Digital Materials and Binghamton University-created materials), and a mega-index of scholarly e-resources including articles, book reviews, ebooks, and more. You can refine your search with the limiters on the left side of the search results page. These include such limiters as date ranges, location, subject headings, and languages.

To search for books in Find It!, follow these steps:

1. On the Libraries’ website, click Advanced Search on the Find It! tab.
2. For search scope, select Library Catalog.
3. For material type, select Books.
4. Enter your search terms.
5. Click Search.

• To see which floor the book is shelved on, check Collection Locations by Call Number
• Use your Binghamton ID to check out books at the Reader Services Desk
• Submit an ILL/Document Delivery request for books held at the Library CMF or SUNY Shared Collection, or books not owned by the Libraries

If the Libraries don't own something that you need, you can use InterLibrary Loan to request it. Or you can search WorldCat, the largest listing of books owned by libraries worldwide. Items found in WorldCat can be interlibrary loaned.
