Next Generation Melvyl Pilot
The Next Generation Melvyl Pilot is a collaboration between the UC Libraries and the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). Holdings from all ten UC campuses are included.
Science and Engineering researchers should be aware that this pilot project does not include holdings from affiliated libraries like the Institute of Transportation Studies Library, Water Resources Center Archives, Earthquake Engineering Resource Center, or the Law Library. Many electronic books are also unavailable in Next Generation Melvyl. To search these collections, researchers should use the Current Melvyl catalog. Users are encouraged to test the pilot system and offer feedback on how well it meets their needs.
