We present deep U band imaging data covering an area of 9 Square deg in the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS) Bootes fields. The data were takenby the Large Binocular Camera (LBC) on the 2x8.4-m Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Combined with deep Bw and R-band images from NWDFS, we selected 15,000 Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) candidates at z down to R=25.5 in the entire Bootes Field, the largest z 3 LBG sample in existence. Using this sample, the rest-frame UV and near-IR luminosity functions (LFs) of the LBGs is measured. The large survey area also helps us to eliminate the cosmic variance and put strong constraint on the bright end of the LFs. The spatial distributions of two bright LBG samples (23.5studied. The comoving correlation lengths increase with the R band brightness, implying that the clustering strength increases with rest-frame UV luminosities.
