UC Davis Shields Library Review

A decent university library collection with good staff. Lots of hoops to jump through to get new acquisitions or books on library reserve.

Amazing library with lots of places to study. There is a 24 hour room attached to the library in which students can study. Popular place to take graduation photos.

Love when the reading room on the second floor is open 24 hours for finals, check out the view from the top of the stairs. Shields library still needs more modern equipment and outlets, but its old age also comes with that cute grandparent charm.

Good place to study, bring snacks but nothing smelly.

IF You can successfully avoid the busy hours here and find a nice little table, this place can make you become really productive.

Super easy to find materials and they are taking precautions to ensure everyone is safe and social distancing.

Great resources, relaxing place to study, good vibes, extremely large. It's a good library.

Favorite place to study! I can always count on getting stuff done when studying here.

Huge library on campus, has group study areas and a ton of resources. There is a quiet study area that can be accessed via ID only, and is open 24/7 and accessed from Shields drive.

Needs more outlets, chairs are uncomfy, everything is old. Study vibe is good but we need to modernise.

The best spot to study. There are enough places that allow for you to go there any time. The 24hour room can get crowded around midterms, but it s great that it s being offered. It can get loud sometimes, but again it s spacious enough to move if it really bothers you.

Not enough outlets near desks but covid cleaning procedures are well kept

Excellent library staff and wonderful places to read if you go into the stacks!

The whole campus is strict about covid regulations. A student shouldn't have to eat their food in the restroom...

A wonderful research library that has all the basic books for any discipline immediately available in open stacks. Friendly staff will help you

Super quiet place. It's sometimes a challenge to find plugs and group study rooms.
