The LBNL Research Library has a new home in the IT Division Office on the 2nd Floor of Building 50B. The Library’s physical collection is on shelves in the Division Office, and there are some chairs and a small reading area. A self-checkout machine for LBL-owned books is coming soon.
If you’d like to access materials not contained in the LBNL Library, you can order them to be picked up at the main Library on the UC Berkeley campus. Your Lab ID card serves as a library card for accessing/borrowing their collections (with the exceptions of the Law and Business Libraries). Please note that the LBNL Library no longer retrieves and returns books on behalf of Library patrons as of June 2025.
