HIST 9 - Historical Methods: Commodities (Chattopadhyaya, Spring 2025): Finding Books & Book Chapters

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 and all other items that the Library owns. It will indicate where they are in print or online, where they are located, and whether they are available.

- Sign in with your UCSB NetID to get full functionality, including the option to use Interlibrary Loan. If we do not own a particular item, once you've signed in you will see a link to Interlibrary Loan in a gray bar across the middle of the page.

- UC Library Search includes articles. However, I recommend using the Library's article databases to ensure that you are finding the most in-depth, comprehensive list of results.

- UC Library Search results are so broad 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.
