Online Reference Services and Research Help
The Marian Koshland Bioscience, Natural Resources, & Public Health Library’s reference services have temporarily moved online, in alignment with “social distancing” recommendations from campus.
Contact a Librarian: Librarians are available Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm to answer any questions you might have. Email one of us or click on the link to schedule a Zoom meeting or Google Hangout.
Online guides, tutorials and videos:
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.
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. If the Library is closed due to unforeseen circumstances, we will update you about our ability to provide this to you via email.
24/7 chat reference help is available; start here; click "Chat Now" at the top right.
For extensive or detailed questions contact a Librarian. Individuals and groups are welcome to contact us to arrange a customized reference or instruction session, including via Zoom or Hangouts.~ Reference By Email: bios@library.berkeley.edu Email your question to the Bioscience, Natural Resources & Public Health Library or use the Ask A Science Librarian form.
