Searching the Sharlin Memorial Library


  • The Library Map gives an overview of what's in the library.

  • The demography library is not part of the UC library system and is for the use of researchers affiliated with the department only. Special access can be granted, however, if you contact the librarian in advance. Lastly, please do not remove any items from the library without permission.

    Books

    You must use the bibliographic software maintained by the department. You can access this software in several ways:
    • At the unix prompt, type 'demlib'
    • Double-click on the demlib icon on 'utilities on Population'
    • In the demogX format, use the left mouse button to access demlib from the UCB libraries menu
    Search by:
    • Author
    • Title
    • General Subject
    • Publisher
    • Place of Publication
    • Date

    Once you have accessed demlib, enter search words for your topic. Search words can relate to the author, publisher, place of publication, date, title, or general subject. You can combine different elements of these in a single search. For example, if you are looking for work by Sam Preston on infant mortality, type "preston infant mortality." The search will provide the number of documents located.

    If you have any problems using the search engine, please come to the library for assistance, or ask Carl Mason for help.
