Finding Books from the Library

UC Library Search is our search service that includes both the contents of a library catalog as well as journal article content.

Sign In (upper right) before starting a session so the system knows what UC campus you belong to.

When you start typing, a drop-down will appear with the option to search everything, or just search the Library Catalog (2nd item shown here)

Some useful limits to use (a list will appear when you get to the results page)

Available Online: will limit to e-books, e-journals and other online materials from our libraries.
Books - or Book Chapter - if you are specifically looking for this type of publication
Held By Library: will limit to materials available to UC San Diego.
Subject: this can be helpful to narrow down your topic.
