UC Faculty, Staff, and Students

Send requests through the University of California's MELVYL's Request service, or through any UC library, following locally established procedures.

UC Berkeley Library Cardholders

Submit online requests via Pathfinder to borrow material shelved at NRLF or to receive electronic or paper copies of book chapters or journal articles. Consult with the circulation desk of any campus library to send a manual request.

Members of the Public

If you are not affiliated with the University of California please request material through a public, corporate, or other library.

Loan Periods

Most materials are checked out for two months or one year, depending on the borrowing privileges of the library user. All books are renewable by mail, telephone, or directly over UC Berkeley's Pathfinder web-based catalog.

Borrowing Restrictions

Items with a "Restricted" circulation status can not be viewed at the NRLF. You must request this material at the owning library. Items with "Limited" circulation status can be viewed, but not borrowed directly from NRLF. Check the "detail display" in GLADIS (Telnet Version of UC Berkeley's catalog) to determine if an item is "Restricted" or "Limited".
