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!
