UC Library Search
- Use UC Library Search to find books and all other materials held in all the UC campus libraries.
- Each record in UC Library Search will give full details of the item including whether it is an ebook or print volume, where it is located, what subjects are associated with it, and more.
- If we do not own a particular item, you will be prompted to sign in with your UCSB NetID so that you can request the item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
- While UC Library Search includes quite a few academic articles, I recommend using the Library's article databases to ensure that you are getting the most in-depth, comprehensive list of results. The databases also allow you to refine your results in a way that the catalog does not. See some recommended databases in the "Find Articles" tab at left.
