UC Berkeley Library privileges

1. How to obtain a library card

Bring the following to to the main circulation desk at Doe library:

CAA membership card

California driver's license

photo ID
a copy of a utility or phone bill with a California address

Library cards must be renewed annually, and the Library does not send renewal notices.

2. Library Restrictions

CAA members who have obtained a library card may check out up to 20 books at a time. Loan periods vary, depending on the type of material borrowed, the status of the borrower, and the loan policy of the individual unit. Interlibrary loans are not permitted.

Visitors can also use the materials on-site for free, without obtaining a library card. A visitor must present a valid form of identification to the circulation desk and will be given a day pass. Day passes do not allow visitors to borrow books.

3. Computer/Research

CAA members do not have remote access to online databases. Inside the library, they have access to all online databases and CD-ROM, as well as Melvyl and Gladis.

Computers on the main level of the Doe Library have general internet and online database access. The upstairs Reference Area computers are to be used for research only.

4. Hours and locations

Each library has its own hours which change periodically. Hours are particularly limited during the summer. Please view the website for the latest schedule.
