What if BU does not have your article in print or online?

Getting Started With Research in the BU Libraries

The BU Libraries Search allows you to search across our library catalog of books (ebooks & print), journals, databases and much more! You can search by keyword, author, subject, title and more. For the purposes of your project, you may find that a very specific search for your exhibit piece might be too narrow, and you won't find anything. In this case, you may need to expand your search.  Think about the keywords you may have found consulting sources about your exhibit on the internet. These can help lead you to scholarly resources on your topic. 

Tips: 

  • Search for the artist by name, together with 'exhibition' in order to find exhibit catalogs. 
  • Search for the artist by name and use the filters to look for reviews (example: Deana Lawson reviews)
  • Search for broader themes related to the exhibit piece you are researching. For example: 

Searching the BU Libraries:

.... art AND "social change"  (books)

.... art AND "social change" (peer-reviewed journals, 2020 - 2023)

.... art and Society AND immigra* AND Boston  (all results)

.... artists AND "social justice" AND United States (all results)
