Research and Reference Assistance

Do you have questions? We're here to help. You can contact us via phone (510-642-2475), drop by during our reference hours (below), or make an individual research appointment.

Do you like to work on your own? Tutorials and guides provide step by step help with some of the more common databases and research questions.

Questions outside of normal business hours? Try our Online 24/7 CHAT reference.

Faculty may request in-class instruction by a Librarian or ask for help in preparing a digital Library Course Guide with links to UC's digital library resources for use on bSpace or class websites. Contact 642-2475 or email for further assistance.
