Connecting BU CTSI-Affiliated Researchers to Bibliographic Resources

Through the BU Alumni Medical Library

Located at the center of Boston University Medical Campus (BUMC), the BU Alumni Medical Library aims at supporting research and academic pursuits. Equipped with a variety of resources tailored to meet the demands of students, faculty, and staff, the library is more than a repository for books and journals; it serves as a support system designed to fuel innovation, research, and academic work. The librarians look forward to enhancing their role in supporting CTSI researchers through skill refreshment, resource introduction, and project-specific consultations and/or trainings. Whether for one-time consultations or ongoing project support, the librarians adapt their assistance to meet the researchers’ needs and encourage future collaborations.
