    • Search for the item you want in the UCSF Library Catalog.
    • Click on the "Request Item" button at the top of the catalog record.
    • Fill in your information. We've recently streamlined the process for books.
    • If the item is not checked out, you will receive an email within 1-4 working days that it's ready for pickup.
    • If the item is checked out, it will be held for you once it's been returned. Most materials can be recalled for you after 14 days of use.

    We send many of our notices via email. Please make sure your borrowing account is up to date.

Luning has been compared to a young John Prine or Bob Dylan, his original music and lyrics continue to win songwriting competitions, and his fan base is quickly expanding. Listen to David's music here.

    There will be light refreshments and free chair massages (first-come, first-served).

    Starved For Attention: 195 Million Stories of Malnutrition

    StarvedForAttention_Exhibit.png

    Doctors Without Borders and VII Photo present "Starved for Attention," a multimedia campaign exposing the neglected and largely invisible crisis of childhood malnutrition.

    "Starved for Attention" aims to rewrite the story of malnutrition through a series of multimedia documentaries that seamlessly blend photography and video from some of the most accomplished and award-winning photojournalists working today. The campaign presents frontline stories of malnutrition from Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, India, Mexico, and the United States.

    This video exhibit will be on view through June 2011, on the Parnassus Campus Library's main floor, around the corner from the elevators.

    For more information, visit the official website.
