The Library is Here for You!

The library can still help you during the campus closure! Here are some of the ways we're providing research assistance during this time:

Reference librarians are still available via email and our 24/7 chat service. Email or chat with a librarian 24/7
Need help with a subject specific research topic? Subject librarians can help you over email or video chat! Email a subject librarian for a virtual consultation
Need a book but can't find an electronic version in our collection? Let us know! Request eBook purchases. You can also still place for electronic copies of articles through our interlibrary loan services.

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

Links to online resources on library websites, such as UC Library Search, will allow you to login with CalNet directly.
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.

Scanning

All UC Berkeley libraries have at least one scanning station. From the scanners you can:

save documents to a USB drive (Moffitt Copy Center sells USB drives)
upload documents to a cloud service (Google Drive, Box, OneDrive or DropBox)
email documents to bMail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or Microsoft Live accounts such as Outlook.com and Hotmail
send documents to library printers

All of the scanning services are free, except for printing scanned documents (see below)

Printing

Printing in the libraries costs 8 cents per page for black & white, or 60 cents per page for color.
- UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff pay with their Cal 1 Card.
- Visitors can request a Cal 1 Guest Card from a library public service desk, or the Copy Center in Moffitt Library.
