To connect to content from UAB Libraries, it is best to start on our website. You can search our collections from the front page without a login. However, when you click to access an article or Ebook or if you start at a database, you will be asked to login. Just type your Blazer ID and password to connect.
At some point you will run into an article you need but we don't have. To solve this problem we have InterLibrary Loan. This service will allow you borrow the article from another library and have it emailed to you. All you have to do is start the request and provide as much information as you can.
Need help? You can contact me or chat with another librarian anytime you need help. Need something more than the answer to a quick question? Make an appointment with me where we can sit down and go over your questions about research or citations without interruption.
Start where you are. Pick apart your research question if you haven't already.
Not everything written down is important to the investigation. Focus in on the most important...well, keywords.
Sometimes you may not need a word at all because it is implied in the effort itself. Some words need to be given more thought to see if they matter.
Every word you use can contain numerous other ideas. Maybe those ideas are more specific. Maybe those ideas are just ways to convey the same idea more precisely.
It's like a spider's web.
