Letters & Sciences W1 2021: Getting Started

Introduction to Library Research

The Library Can Save You Time and Money!

The UCB Library is here to support your learning and research and librarians are here to help you.  NEVER pay for an article or book until you've asked us whether we can help you get it - either from our collections or through interlibrary loan from another library.  See the "Help" tab for all the ways you can reach us!

Off campus Access to Library Resources

There are two ways to connect to library resources from off-campus using the new library proxy:

  1. Links to online resources on library websites, such as UC Library Search, will allow you to login with CalNet directly.
  2. To access library resources found via non-UCB sites, such as Google or Google Scholar, you can add the EZproxy bookmarklet to your browser. Then, whenever you land on a licensed library resource, select your EZproxy bookmarklet to enable CalNet login.

More information is on the EZproxy guide.

The campus VPN provides an alternate method for off-campus access.

UCB Library, Fall 2021

Check out the Library web page for information about library services and research assistance.

If there is an orange bar at the top of the page with a link USE THIS LINK!  It will have the most up to date information.  If there is no orange bar, the rest of the Library website should be fine to use.
