Individuals and members of the business community who are not affiliated with UCI should contact the UCI Libraries' ASAP Information Services to arrange for online searches.
Many more databases are also available.
These charges vary depending on the particular database searched, the total connect time, and the amount of information retrieved. In most cases, an exact cost of the search will not be available until after the search has been conducted, however, the librarian can provide an estimate in advance. Users may specify a cost limit in advance, and in most cases the librarian can tailor the search to stay within designated limits. If appropriate, the cost of the search may be recharged to a UCI departmental or grant account. Payment may also be made by personal check made out to the UC Regents.
