The UID Library helps staff develop and prepare policy and procedural instructions. The library material is available to all UI Division staff and is also available for the use of other EDD staff however, material is not allowed out of the UI Division. The material may be photocopied.
The intention is to catalog not only the items in the library but also work-related material of general interest elsewhere in the Division.
The library uses Computer Advanced Software Product (CASPR) LibraryWorld, a professional library system that automates all the general tasks of library management including circulation, MARC cataloging, serials, patron, and acquisition records.

Scope and Content Note
The library retains the MABs which have been assessed by UI staff. They are in binders labeled either by form number, or by category, e.g. Appeals... Determinations Rulings... Overpayments...
If asked to do a MAB, check in the library to see if the same, or similar, suggestion has been received previously. You may save yourself a lot of work.
Since the beginning of 1995 a copy of the MAB Log Sheet (which tracks each MAB from its receipt in the Division to completion) is used as an index to the completed MABS which are sent to the library.
G: QIIs
Scope and Content Note
The QII Log Sheet, which tracks each QII, is used as an index for the completed QIIs which have been sent to the library.
H: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE COLLECTION
On the shelves are items which have been contributed to the library by staff members after they have finished with them so that they are in a central location, available to everyone. Here are such items as binders and other material from completed projects (including working notes and background material). There are also annual reports, magazine and newspaper clippings, and other relevant material which has been received in the Division.
This collection has research value. Here you can trace the evolution of a UI project or look for information on a particular subject.
Remember that there are certain categories, such as Data Processing Service Requests (DPSRs) and Trade Notices, where the older binders are in the library and the current binders are maintained by a staff member.
The headings in this list sometimes change as material is added or weeded.
