We moved to a new library catalog, UC Library Search, this summer! The new platform has a lot of improvements and advantages.
Unfortunately, it's going to take us some time to update all of the links to library resources on this page. In the meantime, you can search for the items below via UC Library Search.
Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy the new library catalog!
