You can still access the UC Berkeley Library’s services and resources during the closure. Here’s how.
Using the Library during COVID-19
Many of our services are now being offered in new ways. To find the latest information on course reserves, book returns, 24/7 online help, and more, visit our Library services and resources during COVID-19 page.
