For help finding these materials, please consult the home page for the appropriate division, consult the online finding aids, or consult a reference librarian for assistance.

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.
Use UC Library Search to find books, videos, government documents, and other materials the Libraries own. Search by title if you know the title of the book. Search by author (last name, first name) if you want books by an author. Search by keyword or subject to find books on a topic. Remember to make note of the library location, the complete call number, and the status of the books you want.

Sometimes you remember a book you read by its jacket. Sometimes by the actions of an obscure character. However, sometimes you can't even remember the author or title. Everyone has book amnesia at times, so expect to see (or ask) a question like this one day:
The search for a long-lost book is an excellent way to master advanced Google Search skills. For example, you can include or exclude specific keywords, search with an exact phrase, or use the wildcard operator to guess the name of a character.
The massive Google Books Library Project was the most extensive book cataloging project of its kind. It scanned millions of books and set off Google Books Search, which works just like Google Search.
The difference is that the reference page displayed in the search results also contains extra information like various covers, tables of content, common terms and phrases, and famous passages from the book. In addition, you can view sample pages and check if this is the book you were searching for. Also, you can search within a book.
BookFinder is an advanced search engine (Click on Show more options) that taps into the inventories of over 100,000 booksellers worldwide. Try a keyword search, or restrict your query by the publication year if you can recall it.
WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. You can search the worldwide database of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries. For example, search for a book and locate it at a nearby library. Membership of the library allows you to check out the item online.
The Library of Congress (LOC) is the world's largest library and hosts a vast digital collection today. An online book search through its catalog of 167 million items---including books, serials, manuscripts, maps, music, recordings, images, and electronic resources---shouldn't take too long.
Amazon started life as an online bookstore. Books remain the top category by sales, with millions of titles in stock at any time. If Amazon doesn't sell the book you are looking for, it's probably no longer available, or you have a fuzzier memory than you think.
Amazon does not have an official list of advanced search operators. But it does display a few search tips on the above page. The API documentation lists a few power searches you can try for your book.
Amazon not only matches your keywords to titles and authors but also on every word inside a book. You can discover if this is the exact book you are looking for by clicking the Look Inside link and going through the preview pages. Then, use the Search Inside This Book field to look for sentences, key phrases, and citations.
Want to find a romance novel description? Or that thriller you read in your childhood? The appropriately named BookSleuth is another good hunting ground for forgotten titles. Use the community forum organized by genre, and provide as many details as possible for the members to help you out.
By now, you should have got either the book or your memory back. If not, your search has probably reached a frustrating hurdle because the book-loving masses haven't been able to rescue you yet. So it's time to broaden your scope with an SOS on your social network of choice.
The social network isn't only for finding long-lost friends. You can also call upon the crowd's wisdom to help you find that elusive book. However, your social circle might be too limited, so broaden your search using book clubs.
Mark Zuckerberg started A Year of Books, and it ended at more than 600,000 followers. Smaller public groups like the Andrew Luck Book Club and Friday Reads are going strong. Some book clubs follow a niche genre too.
Start with a Twitter search. Hashtags make micro-blogging work, but the generic #books or #bibliophile hashtag might be too broad. Instead, try to plug the specific genre into a hashtag search (e.g., #DarkFantasy or #UrbanFantasy) to narrow your results and/or when you ask for help.
The Q&A site could be the largest gathering of "experts" outside Facebook and Twitter. The best thing about Quora is that you can expect a quality response. Take the answer in the screenshot, for example.
A potpourri of 168 Q&A communities makes up Stack Exchange. Stack Overflow might be the most popular with programmers, but there are niche communities for Ebooks and Literature. Then, you can also go into a genre-specific community and drop a question. Sci-Fi and Fantasy is popular.
You couldn't have thought of a better name for a subreddit on books than Tip of My Tongue. Just scan your eyes down the solved answers with the green tag to understand the power of collective memory. Also, try other subreddits like What's That Book, Books, and printSF when you can only remember the cover.
A Google search should be able to unearth the lost book. But if you feel lazy, use Wikipedia as a book finder. The giant online encyclopedia has an ever-growing stockpile of the world's knowledge, so there's a chance it will also have clues on the book you can't remember the title for.
The internet relies on the kindness of strangers. The good thing is that book lovers are everywhere and the fraternity is amazingly cooperative even when finding a book using a vague description. So, the next time you ask yourself, "what was that book?" try to recall any tiny detail of the book.
One of the best things about seek-and-find books (also called search-and-find books) is that the books are engaging and are fun ways to spend some quality parent-child time. From toddler to preschool to elementary ages, my kids love to sit and pour over these books. Especially with their dad.
When it comes to finding a book you have only a vague recollection of, you need to fish out everything you can possibly remember about it from your memories. Answer the below questions to see if they help you recover any additional information about your book.
Post on all your social networks, reach out to friends from the time when you were reading the book, and ask a local librarian or even old school teachers. You might be surprised to find that your personal community is the missing link needed to find your book. Communities often have similar interests, so the books you enjoyed as a child might be the same books your friends and others in your town also enjoyed and borrowed from the library.
I am trying to remember the name of a book I read about 30 years ago. It was about a serial killer and the cop who was trying to find him. The killer picked his victims or places to murder them from Monopoly Board squares. One of the board pieces that related to a murder was Oriental Avenue. I believe the Author was a Male.
Looking for the name or author of book I read in early 90s. Set in a small KS town group of teens belonging to a religious sect try to stop friend from going away to college using power of their minds. Friend has accident same night and kills girlfriend.
This is a huge, long shot because I do not remember very much about the book. I read it once or twice in 2006. One of the main characters was a fairy, male, and had red hair. The book used the spelling faerie, not fairy. I think there was a second main character who was female. I wish I could remember more of the book because I remember I really enjoyed reading it, and I even wrote an essay about it, but for the life of me all I can remember is the male faerie with red hair. 2b1af7f3a8
