Full text is not available for materials which are under copyright protection or do not have the necessary permissions for open access.

All users can access bibliographic information about materials included in the repository without logging in.

Materials that are no longer protected by copyright or have the necessary permissions for open access are viewable to all users. Users with a UCSBnet ID and password may download the full text of Full View materials.
Logging In:
Click on the "Log in" link in the upper right-hand menu of the screen. Select "University of California, Santa Barbara" from the list of partners and click on the "Login" button. Enter your UCSBnet ID and password.
Searching:
Perform a search and then browse through the results. When you click on a link for "Full View" you will be able to view the full text. To download the entire book, click on "Download PDF – whole book" and you will see the "Login" link in the pop-up box that comes up. Log in as described above.
Creating Collections:
Logged-in users can create personal "collections" for private or public use by selecting records from search results and then grouping them into a collection. These collections can be saved for subsequent use and may be shared with and accessed by others.
Google Books can be an useful way to discover new books and, in some cases, to preview content.
Use UC Library Search to discover and request items. You can choose to pick up physical materials at the Library, or have them sent to your address if you are in the U.S.
UC Library Search is here! UC Library Search replaces UCSB Library Search and Melvyl, making it easier for you to discover items across the University of California System.
