USC Libraries

Every Trojan recognizes the significance of the USC Libraries to their academic success. Maybe it’s your memory of the librarian who always seemed to find the right resource for your research papers. Or maybe it was the feeling of pure awe when you paged through a parchment manuscript from the 14th century, or the sense of accomplishment when you learned how to use digital resources or cutting-edge technology for your engineering, film, or public health class. Or maybe it’s the memory of the chair hidden in a quiet corner of Doheny Library that only you knew about, or the late nights studying for finals with your friends in Leavey Library. Whatever your memories, the USC Libraries hold a special place in the hearts of the Trojan family.

The USC Libraries are able to offer innovative resources, helpful expertise with finding and evaluating information, and thought-provoking programs to our Trojan students because of donors like you. Please consider making a gift to support one of our special funds. Thank you for your support of the USC Libraries.
