UC Libraries Search: Coming Soon to Libraries Near You
Finding and borrowing resources from libraries across the UC system is about to get easier!
On July 27, 2021, the libraries on all 10 campuses of the UC system will be connected through UC Library Search, a unified library discovery and borrowing system. UC Library Search features the following enhancements:
The ability to search <<campus name’s>> local library collection as well as the collections of all 10 UC libraries [and worldwide] in the same system;
Access to the full text of millions of online books, journal articles, and other digital content
Users will be able to check out and renew materials from any library in the UC system without needing to retype your library card number using single sign on
The enhanced features of UC Library Search will replace Melvyl as the UC-wide library catalog search tool. As a single, unified system, UC Library Search offers powerful tools to help the UC Libraries make data-informed decisions around collections development and new services for library users.
Stay tuned to find out more information about UC Libraries Search in the coming months. In the meantime, check out https://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/uclibrarysearch for additional information about the project, including the project timeline for this new release.
