# BAU Research Databases

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

<p class="callout info">BAU databases are indexed in the [Research Database Index](https://library.berlin-international.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?page_id=24).</p>

## Searching all BAU holdings at once with a discovery system

When searching [BAU databases](https://library.bahcesehir.edu.tr/veritabanlari "https://library.bahcesehir.edu.tr/en/kampus-disi-erisim/"), the best place to start is [BAU Academic Search](https://proxy.bau.edu.tr:4294/#!/) (discovery system). This portal allows you to search the contents of all BAU databases<sup>1</sup> at once, plus the eBook collections of BAU Libraries.

<p class="callout warning">Don't forget: to access BAU databases, you will need your BI UMIS credentials.</p>
