Information Retrieval Suggestions
Boston is an information-rich city. If the Sawyer Library does not own or have access to a specific journal title, the journal may be available in another library in Boston within walking distance of a MBTA subway system stop.
- the Sawyer Library belongs to the Fenway Library Consortium (FLC). Your Suffolk University identification card enables you to borrow books from any FLC member library.
- The Boston Public Library (BPL) at Copley Square is a world-class research library with extensive print and electronic collections. Massachusetts residents (including students living in the Suffolk University dormitories) may apply for a BPL card.
- most academic libraries in Boston will allow a student to enter, use the print collection (books and journals) and make photocopies. You may not be able to borrow the materials, but you may use them within the library.
The reference librarians at the Sawyer Library are available to help you search for and retrieve information from a variety of physical and virtual sources. Their assistance may be invaluable to you when working on course assignments.
