Everything I Need to Know About the UC San Diego Libraries

What does UCSD have?

• UC Library Search:  for books, journals (including electronic formats), databases, other materials
• E-Books - learn more about using them at UCSD
• E-Journals - search for a specific journal (or keep up-to-date with a key journal in your field)
• The Libraries Databases A-Z find additional databases that could help with your research

How can I make copies of articles or books (book chapters)?

• Use our photocopies - your ID card is your print card
• Better yet, bring a thumb drive and do a digital copy
• Scan the article or book chapter on our scanner

Can I Access "It" from Home?

• Entire computer covered - VPN set up

What if UCSD does not have what I need? 

• Use interlibrary loan (ILL) and ask us to get a book or copy of an article from an other library.
  • ILL form - if you know we don't have it, you can just enter the info into our online form

Medicine often has different research resources than is typical in the legal field.  The key resouces for research are "scholarly articles"  - most likely peer-reviewed, too.  You are familiar with this type of literature but may not have articulated what it really is. For a quick refresher, check out Scholarly Articles.
