• UC Library Search: UCD Library Local Catalog Search
  Replacing UCD Library Catalog on July 27, 2021, the new UC Library Search enables you to search through all of the University of California libraries’ collections. By selecting the ‘Local Catalog’ setting your search will be limited to items available through the UC Davis libraries. If you Sign in (on top right corner) using your UCD login and Kerberos passphrase, you are prompted with your loan period, can renew books online, and request items that have been checked out to another borrower, or are in storage.

Need Print Books?  We’ll ship it to you!  Just click on the REQUEST link (after signing in) from the item you need and we’ll mail the whole item to you.  Make sure you have your correct address listed, when prompted.

Only need a chapter from a Print Book? Use the DIGITIZATION link but make a note of the specific chapter/article you need and include as much info as you can, especially page number, if available.

Accessing Print Books from the Shields Library in-person? The Shields Library stacks are open to browse and select print books in-person as long as you comply with visitor requirements.

Google Scholar

If there is a record of a journal article on the open internet, you can use Google Scholar to find it. Accessing the article may require you to go through your library subscription, or to find a physical copy in the library.

You can access library licensed articles directly in Google Scholar if you configure your Google Scholar settings to work with our library subscriptions.

Open your Google Scholar settings, and choose “Library Links” from the menu bar.
