Electronic Resources

This page contains documents related to the Electronic Resource Unit (ERU).


The ERU resides in the Collection Services Division of the UCB Library. The primary function of the ERU is to receive, make accessible and maintain access to library electronic resources. ERU also works closely with the California Digital Library (CDL) in providing access to shared e-resources and manages electronic resource access for the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.

To provide and maintain access to electronic resources, ERU works with systems such as Alma, Libguides, EZproxy, and the Primo CDI.

Documentation on this site will continue to change as we gain experience in Alma and UC Library Search, and as new features, processes, and policies are introduced. If you notice anything that needs to be updated or fixed, please let us know using the feedback form
