Off-Campus Access to Library Resources

While the UC Berkeley Library provides access to thousands of online resources (ejournals, ebooks, databases, etc.) most of them are only available to authorized users (current faculty, students and staff and, in most cases, on-site visitors).

For members of the public: No further authentication needed if you are
