Melvyl This new MELVYL is more of a discovery tool as it shows output for not only books and journal titles, but for book chapters, journal articles, media, and other formats and entries. The default is the University of California Libraries but users can also change that to search the global inventory of books in WorldCat and sort by UCI holdings first and by distance from UCI. You can also choose to use the "Chat with Librarian" service in this connection. Users can also search Library Worldwide holdings since MELVYL is powered by WorldCat. The Request function allows for ILL.
