Ovid Metamorphoses Book XIII.623
Tips
- Research is trial and error--do not get discouraged.
- Think about keywords that define your topic and give them a try. Chances are you will find other words that express your topic better or additionally.
- Try the Boston University Libraries Search (BULS) first. It looks for books, articles, etc.
- Try Google Scholar. Advanced Search. The hamburger icon gets you there. Settings: Library Links to access online articles available at BU--View it @ BU
- The most relevant results of BULS and GS will be on the first and second screens (in general).
- For articles and books cited in Google Scholar that do not have links to JStor, etc., search for the name of the journal in BULS.
- Remember to check a book's or article's bibliography (Works Cited, References) for more sources that may contribute additional insight into your topic.
- Sometimes you will find the perfect or key book or article but you cannot figure out how to access it. Email me.
- If there is a really great article but BU does not have the journal online, request the article from Interlibrary Loan. A scanned copy will be sent to your email.
- If you are on campus, you can borrow print books via BU Libraries 2 Go UNLESS they are available online via HathiTrust--you will see the link.
