Adding Filters

From here, you can continue to add filters such as publication date or only eBooks.

For example, I refined my search to only English-language eBooks published in the last decade.

Adding filters like date range, language, and online availability will reduce your results further.

Book Access

For print books, it will list the library location and call number, which is needed to find the book on the shelf at that library.

For eBooks, select Available Online. Select one of the options and log in with your USC credentials.

Access online books via the full text availability link. Physical books will list the library location and call number needed to find the book on the shelf.
