About the UC Libraries

The University of California libraries comprise world-class collections and innovative services. At UC, faculty, students, and staff have access to nearly all of the resources that combine to comprise the libraries' collective holdings; that is, to the largest university research library in the world.

The UC Libraries are led by the Council of University Librarians (CoUL).

SOPAG (the Systemwide Operations Planning and Advisory Group) develops papers, reports, and action plans for consideration by the CoUL.
