Research Services currently offers 30-minute appointments to help support your research. We can help you in a variety of areas, such as:

• Using online resources available through the BPL
• Navigating the BPL catalog
• Research assignments
• Finding online journal and newspaper articles
• Getting started with genealogy research
• Narrowing down your research topic
• Help with citation styles

Online sessions involve the librarian assisting you with resources available through the BPL website with a valid BPL card or eCard, available to current residents of Massachusetts. If you are an out-of-state resident, please submit your request through our online contact form, and we will be happy to address your request through email. You are also welcome to come in for an in-person session scheduled through the Book a Librarian service.
