Most of our e-books are in the UCSD Library Catalog, and you can find them by searching within the Electronic Materials subset of the Library Catalog.
Once you're in the e-book collection itself, you can browse by title or search the full-text of the entire collection.
In most collections, you can print/save desired chapters as PDF files. In other collections, you may have limited ability to save or print pages.
If we don't have an e-book you need, check Roger or Melvyl to get a print copy.
For more detailed information about our eBooks collections, using mobile devices, and types of packages, please see our eBooks guide.
You can find UCSD dissertations and theses in Roger, and use Dissertations and Theses to find dissertations at UCSD and other institutions. Most UC dissertations from 1996 to date are available online, others can be requested via Interlibrary Loan.
