UCI Libraries have assembled resources for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. Home of the broad and interdisciplinary Southeast Asian Archive, the Libraries are proud to make accessible an expansive collection of documents, oral histories, images, and more. We also encourage you to explore movies, digital collections, archived exhibits, as well as books that can be accessed year-round and that emphasize AAPI communities’ diversity, resilience, and histories.

To find out more about the UCI Libraries’ latest exhibit, Inside Reading Minds: Grunigen Medical Library R_xEAD Posters, 2006–2020, we talked to the exhibit curators: Anna Arrieta (she/her/hers), Grunigen Medical Library (GML) Interlibrary Loan library assistant; Cynthia Johnson (she/her/hers), head of Reference and GML; and Sakhile Sithole (she/her/hers), GML library assistant and IT liaison.

The University of California announced today an expansion of the university’s open access agreement with Wiley, one of the world’s largest publishers. Building on the success of a 2022 pilot agreement at five UC campuses, including UC Irvine, researchers at all 10 UC campuses will now receive funding support to publish open access, making significantly more UC research freely available to people around the world.

Since its founding, UCI Libraries have been a member of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), helping ensure access to United States government public records.

Through FDLP libraries, the US Government Publishing Office (GPO) provides free public access to US federal documents and resources. Serving as a FDLP member entails maintaining a physical collection of materials as well as, increasingly, helping library patrons navigate the vast collection of US government materials available online.
