General access to University of California online library resources from the UC Washington Center is via the California Digital Library. The California Digital Library (CDL) webpage provides access to all CDL online resources publicly available or licensed University-wide. This includes access to Melvyl, the UC systemwide library resources catalog. For more detailed information about researching information online through the CDL or the other services that it offers refer to the CDL Services page.

Be aware that many of the online resources available from the CDL are not publicly available. Instead, access to these online resources is through UC campus-specific licensing. In order to access these resources from the UC Washington Center or from off-campus, your web browser must be configured to use your campus proxy server. Computers in the Washington Center's computer labs are configured to automatically attach to your campus proxy server.

For more information about the specific online offerings of your campus, please refer to the Campus-based Online Library Resources page. For information about configuring your own personal computer to use your campus proxy server, refer to the Configuring a Proxy Service page.
