Privileges
Priority access to UC Berkeley Library services and resources is given to UC students, faculty and staff. The UC Berkeley Library also serves members of the public and campus visitors in meeting research needs that cannot be met through their local public, special, or academic library or attendant interlibrary borrowing services.
UC Borrowers
UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff use their UC Berkeley ID as a
library card. Students, faculty, and staff from other UC campuses can
obtain a UC Berkeley library borrowing privileges card from the Privileges
Desk (Doe Library, Floor 1, Mon - Fri: 9am - 4:45pm, Saturday: 1pm - 4:45pm,
510-642-3403) by presenting a current UC Registration Card or a current
employee ID card. Stanford faculty, academic staff, and graduate students
may use their Stanford library card for access and to borrow materials
from the Anthropology Library. More
details.
Institutional affiliates
The Library has agreements with a variety of institutes and organizations, which grant library access and borrowing privileges. More details.
Visitors
Please begin your research at your local public or academic library. If your library is unable to satisfy your research needs, including interlibrary services, you may speak with a reference librarian about access to UC Berkeley materials. California residents are eligible to purchase a one-year Library borrowing privileges card. More details.
Scholars who have a research need should e-mail Kathleen Gallagher, Librarian and Interim Head of the Anthropology Library, to make an appointment for a reference interview.
