Technical Services at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Library consists of three units: Monograph Acquisitions, Metadata/Cataloging, and Serials/Electronic Resources. We keep the collections vital and up-to-date by procuring library materials and organizing them for easy and convenient use. We are responsible for the library's online catalog and e-resource discovery systems.

Working with other library sections, we define policies and practices that assure responsive and timely access to the library's collections of print, non-print, and digital materials. We also make our collections known to students, scholars, and researchers all over the world by contributing our online catalog records to the OCLC bibliographic database.
