The Kresge Engineering Library is located in 110 Bechtel Engineering Center and supports the research needs of the College of Engineering.

Other subject libraries that are heavily used by Civil and Environmental Engineering students and faculty include: Mathematics-Statistics Library, Physics-Astronomy Library, Chemistry Library, Environmental Design Library, Transportation Studies Library, and the Bioscience and Natural Resources Library.

Off-campus Access

To access UCB Library resources from off campus, configure your machine using one of two simple methods (Proxy Server is the quickest and easiest):

Proxy Server
After you make a one-time change in your web browser settings, the proxy server will ask you to log in with a CalNet ID when you click on the link to a licensed resource. See the setup instructions, FAQ, and Troubleshooting pages to configure your browser. Follow these steps to check your proxy configuration.

VPN (Virtual Private Network)
After you install and run the VPN client software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.

OskiCat is the catalog for UC Berkeley and includes all libraries on campus. Start with a keyword search, and then use subject headings for additional searching. The records will tell you the call number and location (library) for each book.

Citation Management Tools

lngo@library.berkeley.edu (Lisa Ngo) — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:16:45 -0700

Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!

RefWorks - free for UC Berkeley users. It allows you to create your own database by importing references and using them for footnotes and bibliographies. Use the RefWorks New User Form to sign up.

EndNote: may be purchased from UC Berkeley's Software Central.Supports many citations styles in science and engineering.

Zotero: A free plug-in that works exclusively with the Firefox browser: keeps copies of what you find on the web, permits tagging, notation, full text searching of your library of resources, works with Word, and has a free web backup service.

It's always good to double check the formatting -- sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
