Borrowing from Other Libraries

If you find an item at a non-UC library, you can request the material via Interlibrary Borrowing Services. Items requested from another library must be picked up at the office of Interlibrary Borrowing Services, Room 133, Doe Library, after you have been notified it is available. Interlibrary borrowing services are free to UCB students, faculty, and staff. Please note that in most libraries many kinds of materials, such as sound recordings and reference works, are available only locally and will not be available through interlibrary borrowing services.
