Aeon is software specifically designed to provide access to special collections in libraries and archives. The Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley implemented Aeon on January 19, 2017.

All Bancroft researchers must now use their Aeon account to:

• Register online to use The Bancroft Library
• Submit requests online for Bancroft collection materials, directly from UC Library Search catalog records or from Bancroft finding aids on the Online Archive of California (OAC)
• Submit orders for duplication of collection material
• Submit orders for permission to publish collection materials

Aeon also offers additional features for researchers, including the ability to:

• View research history
• Add personal tags to requests for specific projects
• Pay for duplication or permissions orders online
• Export citations to use with services like Zotero, EndNote, or Mendeley 

All registration and requests must be submitted online using Aeon. We no longer accept paper call slips or paper order forms.
