How do I find, check out, request, and return books?
✅ Use UC Library Search to locate items held by the Berkeley Lab (LBNL), UCB, or UC libraries. This will bring up both print and electronic books. (To get print books, go to Advanced Search and change the Material Type from “All Items” to “Books”. Request your books to be delivered to the Lab and you will be contacted when the item(s) is ready to be picked up.
✅ The LBNL Library is working in cooperation with the University of California-Berkeley Library system. As such, we are following many of their procedures and rules. Take a moment to find information: Borrowing, Renewals, Overdue, Lost or Damaged Materials. The loan period for most LBNL materials is 30 days.
✅ Books can be returned in any of three ways:
- Via the drop box located just outside 50B-2231. (Turn left as you exit the elevator on the second floor.)
- Via mail: Library, One Cyclotron Road, 50-4032.
- Any UCB Library book return.
Ask an LBNL Reference Librarian by sending your request to library@lbl.gov.
