How do I locate an electronic or paper journal or an individual article?

Search OskiCat for the name of the journal to determine LBNL electronic and physical holdings and request delivery of paper copies.

Consult the A-Z index of Journals

Search Databases and use UCeLinks to find and request a journal article.

Search Melvyl if LBNL doesn't have the journal you're looking for and then request the article. (If you see only article records displayed for your journal, click on a record and a link to the journal may be available on the resulting screen.)

Ask an LBNL reference librarian for assistance by visiting the Reading Lounge or submitting a Help Request. If you do not have a LBNL email address, please send your request to [email protected].

UC and Elsevier have been unable to agree to a new contract for access to Elsevier publications that meets UC’s goal of supporting Open Access. As a result, at the end of June 2019, the UC system including LBNL will lose access to all 2019 Elsevier content. Access to older content is not impacted by this dispute, and LBNL users can continue to access Elsevier content from 2018 and earlier via ScienceDirect (UC owns perpetual licenses to this content).

For more information on the status of negotiations, and the issues involved in the dispute, please see this website maintained by the UC Berkeley Library (http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/about/uc-elsevier).

What does this mean to you? All 2019 Elsevier journal subscriptions will no longer be available to UC/LBNL researchers through ScienceDirect. The LBNL and UCB libraries are standing by to assist you with getting access to this content through other means.
