BULSearch
Beginning Research at BU www.bu.edu/library
BU Libraries Search is a gateway to books (both print and ebooks); peer-reviewed articles; government documents and media.
What you need to know:
- Sign In after your first search. This allows you to keep a record of your search strategies and results using My Favorites - simply click the
image by each record you want to save (saved items = 
)
- BULS searches for books, articles, and other formats such as government documents, dissertations, short news articles and images. The results list will be a combination of formats sorted by relevance. Each result indicates that it is available either in print or online -- or sometimes, both.
= print
- BULS does not search most newspapers (such as the New York Times); BUT we have other databases that cover newspapers and more.
- To refine searches use quote marks to retrieve phrases ("gettysburg address") or consider looking for keywords only in the title (as opposed to looking in the full record.)
- Need articles in "peer-reviewed journals"? No problem!

Request it!
By default, BULS search results include books and articles that are available at BU. You can expand your research to items we may not own by choosing "WorldCat" (to locate books to request) or "More articles..." from the dropdown menu.
At the item record level you'll be prompted to 
and click through to request using our Interlibrary Loan Services. The first time you use the service you'll need to register. If an item is locally available, turnaround time is approximately three working days. (This is a free service to BU students, so use it early and often!)
