Finding Books

In the UCSD catalog (Roger) are books (print and electronic), journals we subscribe to, and audio/visual materials. If UCSD doesn't own something you are looking for, you can get it for free (usually in only a few days) through The Circuit (SDSU, USD, CSUSM, SDPL joint catalog), Melvyl (all UC schools joint catalog) or interlibrary loan. Interlibrary Loan is a free service that will send away for books from any library in the country.
