Access UCLA Collections without Visiting

• Off-campus access to online collections is only available to current UCLA students, faculty, and staff. Other users must physically visit UCLA to use them.
• Remote access to print and microform collections may be available in a number of ways:
  • Interlibrary loan: Your local library can borrow UCLA materials and loan them to you. Check with your local library for interlibrary loan service availability, procedures, and costs.
  • UCLA Document Delivery: A cost-recovery service which will scan journal articles and mail them to you. (The Library cannot provide scanned copies of entire books or journals.)
  • Special Collections materials: See Access to Special Collections Materials for all requests concerning collections in Library Special Collections.
