Research Guides

Research Guides are online tools created by BU librarians to support your research. You can browse guides by topic, creator, or course prefix. Connect to recommended resources, circulating materials, strategies for success, and more.

Subject Guides

Subject Guides provide an overview of the resources our subject experts found to be the best on a given topic.

Course Guides

Course Guides are class-specific resources developed to help you get started with research and maximize your educational experience.

In conjunction with some of your BU professors, we’ve developed these guides to assist with many of the courses that require research. You’ll find curated lists of resources pertaining to the course topic as well as tips to help you investigate effectively.
