NYU Libraries Catalog, known as BobCat (Bobst Catalog), can help you find books and ebooks, journals, encyclopedias, videos, and government documents. Enter a topic, a title, an author, or a publisher to search. (To search for journal articles, use the "Search by citation tool" on the Library website.)

Please note: most ebooks should be findable in BobCat. Proquest's Ebook Central is our biggest ebook database, but we also have various university press databases and a variety of other online publishers like Bloomsbury, Brill, Taylor & Francis, and Sage. Not all books put out by these publishers are available in ebook format, however.

Select a research database to search for journal articles.

To access the electronic resources on this list, click on the name below. If off campus, you will be asked for your NYU NetID and Password (same as NYUHome) and then sent into the database.

When using article databases, remember there are always three stages in your workflow:

1. Discovery: Do and redo your searches! Do a keyword or keyphrase search, scan the results, and figure out if you can do a better search using more focused terms, synonyms, and/or by using the Boolean operators "and, or, not" to get good results. Your first search is not your best search, but rather an opportunity to learn how to immediately do a better search. Learn more about Boolean searching here.
2. Delivery: For items that you like, select the link to the full text if available. If the citation does not include the full text, use the icon to see if we own the full text in another database. If you want to keep this item, save it to your own computer, email it to yourself, or print it.
3. Document: Keep track of the search terms you've used and a running bibliography of all that good resources you found. If you want to create your own library, NYU Libraries offer a number of citation management tools that you can learn more about. These tools are like research shadows - you can save the metadata of the resources you find there, and they will help you create a bibliography as you write a paper. They require habit to use though!
