Consult with a reference librarian
Why sign up for a reference consultation?
Our librarians can work with any UBalt student, staff, faculty or alumni to find and use information effectively at any point in the research process through:
- Brainstorming and refining activities that can help narrow a big topic into a manageable idea
- Locating sources of information that provide overviews of a topic or identify key questions that are appropriate in scope for your work.
- Developing alternative search strategies for finding new or complementary sources of information to deepen your research
- Applying tools and techniques to help you vet any source of informaiton for truthfulness and trustworthiness
- Storing and managing data, sources, or citations with Zotero or other tools
- Exploring avenues for publishing your research, including in our institutional repository KnowledgeWorks
