Borrow and Request
Get the research materials you need
Your library account affords you a variety of borrowing privileges and access to research materials worldwide. We also loan equipment for use in the library, including calculators, whiteboards and chargers, so you can keep your study or research momentum going while you’re here.
Anyone may apply for an account at the UC Davis library. We offer courtesy and fee-based library account types, depending on your affiliation status.
Find out how long you can borrow materials, our policies for renewing or recalling materials, and ways to return the items you’ve borrowed.
Borrow, don’t buy! Get your course materials at the library.
Getting materials from UC Davis or another library is easy. You can also request scans of articles, ship library materials to your home (for free!), or suggest a purchase to add to our collections.
We offer a variety of tools and study aids for check out and use in the library: charging lockers, battery packs, whiteboards, headphones, calculators and more.
