Connect from Off-Campus

UCLA students, faculty, and staff can access these sites from off-campus using either the UCLA VPN Client or Bruin Online Proxy Server. If you need help setting up your computer, contact the UCLA IT Support Center at (310) 267-4357 or help@it.ucla.edu . They answer the phone 24/7 and are very helpful.

[NOTE: All campus wireless networks (eduroam, UCLA_WIFI, or UCLA_WEB) provide access to online subscription content. If you are using a Mac, you may need to use Chrome or Firefox, not Safari, to read some of the pdf material.]

To Google or Not to Google?

The Internet has brought a vast array of information to your desktop. The challenge for students is to identify the relevant sources, get to them easily, and critically evaluate their content. Some of the following websites are licensed for UC users only, others are open to all. Those that are licensed will probably not turn up in a Google search.

This guide will lead you to resources that can help you find material for your assignments. Remember that you can always ask a reference librarian for help.

Need Help with Your Paper?

Need help finding sources for your paper? Not sure you're expressing yourself clearly? Want some guidance on college writing?

If you need help doing research, the Library offers ONLINE RESEARCH CONSULTATIONS. Book your appointment with a Library Student Research Assistant or make an appointment with a reference librarian.

If you need help with writing, schedule an appointment with a peer learning facilitator at the Undergraduate Writing Center (UWC).

Citation Management Tools

Citation or bibliographic management programs help you organize your references and create bibliographies in 100s of citation styles (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc.)

An EndNote license can be purchased at the UCLA Store for downloading onto your own computer or you can use the web-based EndNote Basic at no cost. The EndNote and EndNote Basic or Zotero research guides have much more information about using these tools.
