mySearch is an interface which allows you to search across a range of library resources simultaneously, including books, journal articles and databases.
Reading lists
- Always check your unit reading list - each unit on Brightspace has a 'Reading List' link.
- Books will primarily be available in electronic format (sometimes print as well or instead). Electronic books are often available with an unlimited access license, though for some you might need to join a waiting list.
- If all copies print copies are on loan from the Library shelves, you can reserve a copy. You can also scan a few pages or one chapter of a print book for free to your BU email account using a BU printer/copier/scanner.
E-book databases
- You will often be expected to look for sources of information beyond what is recommended to you by your lecturers. Try mySearch (box above) and also search our E-book collections (try E-book Central Academic Complete).
