What is UC-eLinks, and how do I use it?

UC-eLinks helps you get articles listed in many of our article databases.   Look for a button or link embedded next to each item in the search results:


Clicking on UC-eLinks may take you directly to the article, to the journal's homepage, or it may open up a menu that lets you:

• Get the full text of the article if it's available in one of our connected databases.
• Search for printed copies through our library catalogs, OskiCat and Melvyl.
• Request an article through Interlibrary Loan, if UC Berkeley doesn't have it.
• Ask a librarian for help.

Things to note:

• Some databases don't include UC-eLinks.
• Options available for any particular article may vary.
• If UC-eLinks doesn't do what you expect, ask a librarian.

For details, see Getting Started with UC-eLinks.

If you want a particular article and already have a citation (at least the journal title and date), you can save time by entering it directly into the Citation Linker, powered by UC-eLinks.
