Our new "Everything" library search engine, powered by the Summon Discovery Service, provides a Google-like search experience, allowing researchers to use one search box to discover credible and reliable library content. Its breadth of coverage and ease-of-use make it an ideal place for quickly finding research -books, articles, and more – on any topic. When you do a search in the “Everything” tab on the UB Libraries homepage, your search results will appear in two columns: the left side, “Books & more,” are results from our catalog; the right side, “Articles & more,” are results from our databases.

Books & more…
ALL of the UB Libraries’ catalog:

Books
Journals (titles only, not articles)
Government Documents
Music Scores
Maps
Manuscripts
Audiovisual Materials
& still more..

Searching Tips for the catalog is available.

Articles & more…
A LOT of the UB Libraries databases:

220 million full-text items
84% of our journal subscriptions
Journal articles (scholarly, peer-reviewed)
Newspaper, magazine, newsletter articles
Conference Proceedings
Book reviews
Market research
& still more…

The full list of what is included is available.

Keep in Mind…

Our discovery search service searches many but not all of the resources provided by the UB Libraries. Many people will find that this new service points them to all the research they need; others will want to dig deeper and search our subject-specific databases.
