Library

UCI students have computer access to the greatest university library in the world - the 30 million volume combined library of the UC system. The three UCI campus libraries, located minutes away from the department, contain 2.2 million volumes and over 20,000 current journal subscriptions in print, both referenced by a computerized system that provides immediate access to most materials on open shelves. The campus libraries also maintain 5,500 online scholarly resources, a collection of 2.5 million microforms, and more than 77,000 cartographic and graphic materials, computer files, audio recordings, films, and videos.
