How do I check if BU owns a specific book or journal?
Answer
Use the Library Catalog to determine whether a specific book or journal is owned by the Alumni Medical Library.
In the Library Catalog, search for the book’s title or author. Print and electronic holdings will be displayed. For print, the record will indicate which BU library owns the book, and whether it is checked out or available on the shelves. Look for “Medical” on the book record to identify books that are owned by the Alumni Medical Library.
In the Library Catalog, search for the journal title: if it is a common word (like “Blood”) it may be helpful to check ‘journal’ under ‘material type’ on the right hand side. Print and electronic holdings will be displayed. Be sure to verify that library holdings include the volume and year for which you are looking.
