Enter a Course Number in Search
Did you know that you can use our Search to find materials related to BU courses? For example, search for hb723 as shown in this screen shot:
You will see results relating to the BU course HB723, which is the School of Social Work’s Adult Psychopathology class.
When searching by course number, your results may include course reserves, class research guides, or both, depending on whether they have been added to the library’s holdings. It is also possible to retrieve search results that are unrelated to a BU course, if for some reason the records contain the same string of characters. To verify that the result is a part of our course reserves collection or a class research guide, click on the “More Information” tab. If you are seeking reserve materials, simply switch to the Course Reserves tab within BU Libraries Search itself from the search results screen.
If you need any help with Reserves, please contact the appropriate Reserve Services department as listed on the Reserves page. If you need help locating a class research guide (not all classes have a research guide) please check our Course Guides page or contact a Reference Librarian.
