WorldCat Discovery @UCSB is a way to find books and other materials located in libraries outside the UC System. 

Hebrew characters

You can search for library resources with Hebrew  characters, but sometimes the best way to access a specific book written in Hebrew or other non-Latin alphabets in the library catalog is to search using a transliterated (or romanized) form of the title.

There are several transliteration schemes available, but all libraries in the United States follow those established by the Library of Congress and the American Library Association.
