The reference services for the Marian Koshland Bioscience, Natural Resources & Public Health Library and the Optometry and Health Sciences Library, which together make up the Library’s Life and Health Sciences Division, are mainly being offered online. In-person reference appointments may be available upon request.

Online guides and tutorials:
Connecting from off campus: If you are not on campus, use EZProxy or the VPN (VPN users: choose "Library Access – Full Tunnel" rather than the default "Split Tunnel") to authenticate yourself as a Berkeley student, faculty, or staff to access online books, journals, databases, and other resources.
Finding full text and journals:
Can't find the full text?: If a desired article, book, chapter, etc. is not available as a full-text version online, Berkeley students, faculty, and staff can place a request to our Interlibrary Borrowing Service. You can also use the Purchase Recommendation Form, or reach out to one of us directly, to suggest new books or journals.
