USC Libraries
Every Trojan recognizes the significance of USC Libraries to their academic success. Maybe it’s your memory of the librarian who always seemed to find the right resource to support 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 relief of mastering the digital guides and finding an obscure medical reference; or maybe it’s just the memory of the chair hidden in a quiet study corner at Leavey Library that only you knew about. Whatever your memories, USC Libraries hold a special place in the hearts of the Trojan family.
Leavey Library is not only the largest of USC’s libraries, it’s also utilized by students from nearly every school and discipline at USC. When its doors first opened in 1994, the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Library ushered in a new era for the contemporary library. At a time when laptop computers were far less common and desktop computers were large, cumbersome, and expensive, Leavey Library introduced students to the latest in computer technology and provided access to the fledging world of the internet. Today, planning is underway at Leavey Library for the renovation of the student study spaces and construction of a student wellness room.
USC Libraries are able to offer innovative resources and thought-provoking programs to our Trojan students because of donors like you. Please consider making a gift to support USC Leavey Library or one of the libraries special funds. Thank you for your support of the USC Libraries.
