Hello Researchers!
This guide is designed to help you start your International Studies library research.
Please feel free to email me or another subject librarian if you get stuck, have additional research questions, would like to set up an appointment, or have other sources to include in the guide.
Search Tip: Roger is UC San Diego's Library catalog. Use it to find whether we own books, journals, films, maps, documents, etc. Will not return results for individual journal articles.

My Library Account Search Roger by Title, Author, etc. |
While the Library is closed and we have no access to our own print collection, UC San Diego users will have access to scanned copies of books owned by the University of California Libraries that were deposited in HathiTrust, The HathiTrust.org Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) has opened up copyrighted material in the HathiTrust digital library to member institutions with copies of those items in their physical collections. Millions of digitized books available through HathiTrust which are also in UC libraries’ collections are now available online to UC students, faculty, and staff. Use your UC credentials to login to the HathiTrust Digital Library, and then check-out in copyright books for online reading access for renewable one-hour loans. You can also still, as before, read and download public domain books at will.
Search Tip: Melvyl now also includes citations to articles from many (but definitely not all) of UC San Diego's article databases.
UC Library Search, the University of California Libraries' new discovery tool, launches on July 27, 2021. It will replace Roger as UC San Diego's library catalog and Melvyl as the way to discover items across the University of California system. For more information, please see our UC Library Search Information Page or the University of California Libraries Project Page.
