Journals

BU has digital access to approximately 35,000 current journals. Additionally, BU has
print subscriptions to about 10,000 journals.

To determine if we have a journal available electronically, search the
eJournal Locator. To find out if we have a print copy of a journal, search the Library's
Catalog. Both of these search tools may be found on the top page of the Library's
Website.

The best way to find journal articles on a particular topic or by a
particular author is to search appropriate databases. The primary
databases in Education are listed on, and accessible from, the Education
eResources Guide.
