Partnership: Barbaros Library Journals and Databases (BAU)
Through a partnership with Bahçeşehir University, BI students and faculty have access to hundreds of additional databases and thousands of journals and eBooks.

BAU Research Databases
Through a partnership with Bahçeşehir University (BAU),  BI students and faculty members have access to dozens of research databases. 

 BAU databases are indexed in the Research Database Index . 

 Searching all BAU holdings at once with a discovery system 

 When searching BAU databases , the best place to start is BAU Academic Search (discovery system). This portal allows you to search the contents of all BAU databases 1 at once, plus the eBook collections of BAU Libraries. 

 Don't forget: to access BAU databases, you will need your BI UMIS credentials. 

 

 At this point, if you have not already signed into the BAU Proxy during your current session, you must log in with your UMIS credentials. 

 

 1 Well almost all... The following databases are not included in BAU Academic Search and must be searched individually:

BAU EZProxy Bookmarklet
How it works 

 If you search BAU databases directly , you are asked to provide login credentials to gain 'proxied' access to resources. In cases where you go directly to a publisher's site without having logged in ("proxied"), you will not be recognised as having access. For these cases, the EZProxy Browser Bookmarklet will allow you to log in without first going back to the BAU web site. A bookmarklet is like a browser extension but more lightweight and can be used on any browser that supports bookmarks,

including mobile browsers. 

 Once added you will see EZProxy - BAU in your menu bar. Click on EZProxy - BAU and the proxy prefix is added to the URL and the work, if BAU has access, will be accessible. 

 

 Once pressed, you will be asked for your credentials. 

 

 After you have entered your credentials, you will have access to the full text if it is licensed by BAU. In this example, you will notice that the orange Get Access button in the first screenshot has now changed to a green PDF | EPUB button. 

 

 Installing the Bookmarklet 

 Installing the EZProxy bookmarklet varies depending on browser. In general, add the EZProxy link to an always visible Bookmarks or Favorites Toolbar, usually by dragging it into the toolbar. Below are specific instructions for some of the more common browsers.

 From the View menu, choose "Toolbars" and "Bookmarks Toolbar" and "Always" 

 Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and select "Add Bookmark..." with the following code as the URL:

 From the View menu, choose "Always Show Bookmarks Bar" 

 Right-click on the Bookmarks Bar and select "Add Page..." with the following code as the URL:
