Hello and Welcome, Anthropology PhD students!
My name is Chris Smith, and I am the Anthropology & Sociology Librarian at the Boston University Libraries. You can learn more about me here: /library/profile/smith-j-christina/
In lieu of an in-person walking tour of Mugar Memorial Library, I am offering a physically distanced introduction to the library and its resources.
The BU Libraries home page is: /library/
You can…
- Search for library resources: https://buprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=BU
- Look for databases: https://library.bu.edu/az.php
- Submit an interlibrary loan request: /library/services/ill/
- Use chat or email to contact us: https://askalibrarian.bu.edu
Librarians have created a number of research guides, how-to guides and course guides, all of which are linked from the library home page.
I have created several research guides for Anthropology:
- Biological Anthropology: https://library.bu.edu/biologicalanthropology
- Social Anthropology: https://library.bu.edu/socialanthropology
- Medical Anthropology: https://library.bu.edu/medicalanthropology
- Forensic Anthropology: https://library.bu.edu/forensicanthro
My colleague, Ruth Thomas, who is the librarian for Archaeology, Art & Architecture and Classical Studies, has a research guide for Archaeology: https://library.bu.edu/archaeology
I am looking forward to working with you this coming semester and beyond. Please feel free to contact me at jchris@bu.edu.
And again, welcome to BU!
