LIBRARY CARD FAQ
Does the UCLA Powell Library Card provide the holder access to Melvyl, as well as UC and UCLA Library databases?
Melvyl, the catalog listing all materials owned by all UC Libraries, and the UCLA Library Catalog, the catalog for all UCLA Libraries, are available remotely for free to anyone with an Internet connection. The online databases, to which the UCLA Library subscribes, are remotely available to UCLA students, faculty, and staff under the terms of license agreements with the content holders. TAP students can ONLY access these databases when visiting a UCLA Library. Full-text articles and other online resources can be saved on a flash drive or USB key. Students should also consult their college library and public libraries near them, to see which of their databases they may access remotely, for free.
