Online databases: Thanks to technology, information is widely available online. With your UCID, you can access a wealth of information through online databases and journals. Check out the full list.  

Ebooks: The library has way more than just textbooks and research resources! Check out an ebook for some enjoyable reading in your free time. Browse and search titles.

Talk to a librarian: Need assistance but can’t make the trip to the library? You can chat with a librarian or library staff over phone, SMS, email, or live chat.
