UC Publication Management System = OA upload-a-thons
Drop-in for assistance with the new publication management system & easy deposit of your articles into eScholarship.
This “harvesting” system is currently being implemented across the UC campuses in response to the Academic Senate’s call for an efficient mechanism for facilitating faculty participation in the UC Open Access policy. The initial focus is on supporting the Open Access Policy, the system has the ability to connect campus systems like faculty profile pages, offering the potential for streamlining additional publication reporting and management processes in the future.
Visit one of the Upload-a-thons for assistance with this new system.

NEW! Bioscience & Natural Resources Library website
Please visit our NEW website! It is one of many library homepages included in the UC Berkeley Library’s move to update and improve our information pages. As we migrated the content of the “classic” Bioscience & Natural Resources Library website to the new format, we were careful to make sure that all of the special resources on the ‘classic’ website were included.
New website: Bioscience & Natural Resources Library.
If you don’t see links on the first page check the Bioscience & Natural Resources Library Subject Guides list, or contact us.
The Bioscience eJournal list has a new look but the same content. Bioscience e-Journals List
Thank you!
