The Fong Optometry and Health Sciences Library offers a huge collection of academic books and journals. Priority is given to UC students and faculty, but anyone is allowed to access the collection. There is a photocopier inside the library that can be used to make copies. Those wishing to place a textbook on reserve should make sure to include the course number and instructor name for the class. The library is on the fourth floor of Minor Hall.
The Institute for Research on Labor and Employment was formerly the Institute of Industrial Relations. It conducts research on workplace issues and trains current and future labor leaders. Recent research touches on African-American prospects in the economic recovery, how health care reform might affect low-income Californians and how the labor movement can attract young workers, particularly women. The Institute is headquartered in a former apartment building on Channing Way, three blocks from the main campus.
