The Library's collections and services are split into 2 separate units - the smaller Unit 1 on the North side and the newly renovated Unit 3 to the South. Materials placed in Storage will remain there for another year. To ease some of the inconvenience, we suggest the following coping strategies or tips for effectively using the Rivera Library. Requests f or information or questions regarding our collection can be answered by e-mail. It provides useful information such as whether an item is checked out, on hold, in Storage, placed in Reserves, or on order.
Instructions are available.
Some California Digital Library databases are restricted to on-campus use but the majority are available remotely via the Internet, with a password. UCR students, faculty and staff may obtain instructions and off-campus passwords at the Rivera or the Science Library Reference Desks. You can also send your regular interlibrary loan requests electronically. Currently enrolled UC students, faculty and staff may borrow materials which UCR does not own from another library through Rivera's Interlibrary Loan service .
