PEGASUS Database: PEGASUS is the UCSB Library Catalog and Information System. PEGASUS includes items in the UCSB Library: Art Exhibition Catalogs, books, serials, sound recordings, videocassettes, and electronic resources. Government Publications and map materials are being added systematically. Also lists materials on order or in the process of being cataloged. PEGASUS also provides circulation information.

MELVYL Catalog: The Catalog database contains records for materials (books, archives, audio-visuals, computer files, video recordings, dissertations, government documents, maps, music scores, and recordings, etc.) in the libraries of the nine UC campuses, the California State Library, the California Academy of Sciences, the California Historical Society, the Center for Research Libraries, and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. For a search of recent materials only, you can select the Ten-Year Catalog database, from any of the search screens.

The PE database: Lists journals, conference serials, and series in the collections of the University of California Libraries, the California State University Libraries, Stanford Libraries, the California State Library, the University of Southern California Libraries, and the California Academy of Sciences.
