Additional Services for Journal Members
Reference Tech Check Preview
The Tech Check Preview (TCP) service streamlines the cite-checking process by identifying those items that that may be difficult to obtain from the Charles River campus libraries. Those items can then be obtained by other means while student cite-checkers concentrate on form and substance of citations.
Articles should be submitted at least three weeks prior to the start of the student cite-checking process. A reference librarian will examine the article and provide a report of items that will require special handling.
In the report, the librarian can: identify BU library resources for some publications, suggest online alternatives to print resources, help to identify sources that may have to be gathered by interlibrary loan or that may be difficult to obtain without the author's help, and suggest visits to other libraries for select resources
To submit an article for the TCP service, please send an electronic copy to lawref@bu.edu. A reference librarian will contact the journal editor to acknowledge receipt of the article and to set a completion date.
