UCSC students and graduating students have a wide range of library services designed to facilitate their studying and research.

Logging in as registered user to your My Library personal area, you can:

check and manage your personal data, as:

• your account
• books return date
• loan/consultation request status
• library privileges suspension
• a list of all your previous loan/consultation requests ("My reading history" function)
• your personal rating of checked out books ("My ratings" function)
   

use UCSC OPAC more easily, by:

• requesting books from any personal computer or device with internet access
• requesting more books without repeating your authentication
• saving searches previously performed as "preferred searches", to be reused at any time to check the availability of works about your favorite subject areas
• real-time information (using the RSS "My feeds") about the status of your submitted loan/consultation requests and on loan volumes 
   

Services of bibliographic assistance and bibliographic advice are provided in presence (through in-person interviews between users and expert librarian) or remotely (with communications via your iCatt page or personal e-mail).
