Search for Items
The Mackin.com database is the largest of its kind. We have two ways to help you find the titles you need for your school or library.
Easy Search
Perform a search from any page on Mackin.com using the Easy Search bar. The default is set to keyword, but you can select other options from the dropdown menu such as title, author, series title, ISBN, or subject.
Simply enter your query into the search bar and hit the Magnifying Glass icon. There is no need to worry about commas, quotation marks, word order, or case.
The search results feature dynamic filters with prebuilt result counts. Click on the filters to narrow your results.
Use the Sort By dropdown menu to adjust your results.
To deselect individual filters, simply click on them again. You can also remove all of the filters within a specific category by selecting Remove. Alternatively, start over with your original search criteria by selecting Clear All.
Advanced Search
Click on Advanced Search next to the Easy Search bar to execute more precise searches. Advanced Search allows you to do Boolean searches and select multiple options, including filters for grade level, binding, date of publication, Dewey range, language, genre, and more.
The default is set to all products. Select a tab to narrow your search to a particular type of product. Choose any combination of filters desired and then click on the Search button.
Add Items to a List
When you find a title that you want to add to your list, click the corresponding checkbox from the search results or item details page. Once selected, the quantity and priority can be adjusted.
Title Match helps you manage your collection in real time. A green E icon indicates the selected item’s ISBN exactly matches on a current list and a black E icon indicates it is on a submitted list. Mouse over the icon to view the name of the list. Additionally, if you have an existing collection loaded for Title Matching, any matches in your existing collection will be displayed.
