Using UC Library Search to find articles is a great place to start. However, it does not include all the content to which the Library subscribes. To extend your search, try a database by clicking the "Databases" button underneath the UC Library Search box.
After you click on the Databases button, you can find a list of all our databases and filter by subject.
Here are a few tips for using the new UC Library Search:
Search from homepage, then Sign in.
After you enter a search, on the results page, you will see a yellow bar asking you to sign in. Signing in gives you the full options (requesting, etc).
Filtering results by location.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To filter results to what is at the UC San Diego, select "UC San Diego Library" under the UC Libraries filter.
Selecting "Geisel Library" from the Libraries filter or "Held by Library" under the Availability filter will filter results to print resources only.
Filtering by Resource Type.
Much like the functionality in the databases, you can filter UC Library Search results by resource type.
