ENGL 192SC Science Fiction: Speculations in Color (Thomas, Fall 2023): Find Books & Book Chapters

Library Search

UC Library Search is the "discovery tool" that lists all the materials that are held in the entire UC library system, including books, journals, maps, videos, and thousands of articles. Think of it as a powerful catalog.

  • Use UC Library Search to find books. Sign in with your UCSB NetID to get full functionality and availability information.
  • If we do not own a particular item you will see a link to Interlibrary Loan in a gray bar across the middle of the page.
  • UC Library Search includes articles, but not comprehensively. I recommend using the Library's article databases to ensure that you are finding everything.
  • Results lists are so broad in UC Library Search that you may retrieve unrelated items. Use the tools in the left margin to apply limiters.
  • UC Library Search is an excellent tool for finding items that the Library owns, where they are located, and whether they are available.
