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 information 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
