BGGN 2xx - Biology Resources for Graduate Students: Find Books & Dissertations/Theses

UC Library Search 

UC Library Search, accessible from the search box on the library's homepage, helps you locate books, film, music, maps, and various other materials at the UC San Diego Library and beyond. It also contains a limited number of online journal and newspaper articles. You may search by keyword, title, and author, and filter your search to what is available online. You can also place an interlibrary loan request through UC Library Search for materials at other UC campuses or libraries worldwide using your Single Sign-On credentials.

Search Tips 

• Sign in to access full results lists, electronic resources, request items, and save records. To access electronic resources, you must be either using a UCSD networked computer or logged into the VPN.
• You can select Library Catalog to get rid of journal articles that may match your search terms. This option searches books, ebooks, audiovisuals and whole journal titles.
• Capitalize the operators AND, OR, NOT when combining key search terms.
• To request items that the Library doesn't have click the Request button.

Most of our e-books are in UC Library Search (Library Catalog option), but there is sometimes a delay between new books being released by our publishers and records being linked up in the catalog.  For more detailed information about our eBooks collections, using mobile devices, and types of packages, please see our eBooks guide.

You can also use Ask Us to double-check whether a particular book or e-book is available, and if it's not, you can:

• Request to borrow a copy from another library via Interlibrary Loan, or
• Recommend a purchase if it's something we should have in our collection.
