A few quick links:
Connecting to library resources while off-campus
Remote access to the UCI Libraries' licensed online resources is available to current UC Irvine students, faculty & staff. In order to use these resources you must be "authenticated" (recognized as a valid user) by the UCI campus network. Click here for more info.
Did you know you can place holds on books AND request scans of book chapters and print articles?
I will cover this in the library presentation, but here are some screenshots on how to do this. 🙂
Does UCI Libraries not have what you need? TryInterlibrary Loan (ILL) Services
You can use this blank form or the "Get it at UC" button when you are in UC Library Search or library databases when we do not own, subscribe to, or have access to the article/book/dissertation you need. For rare materials and films, ILL is likely not an option but you can always consult me if you have questions! For more information: https://www.lib.uci.edu/interlibrary-loan.Â
