University Libraries
UC Berkeley has outstanding library resources, both in terms of collections and staffing. The main library website fully documents the various campus libraries and collections. Linguists tend to concentrate on four of the libraries in the system: the main library (Doe), the Education-Psychology library, the Anthropology library, and the Bancroft library, which houses rare, old, and/or delicate material, including archival notes on American Indian languages. The UC Berkeley linguistics collections are described on the main library website at http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/doemoff/linguistics/.
