The Library Access and Borrowing Policy explains the privileges and responsibilities of all who borrow and access materials from the USC Libraries.

Using Library Facilities

For policies on facilities access please check Using Library Facilities.

Filming in the USC Libraries:

  • Individuals who wish to film or photograph within a library facility must obtain the permission of the libraries' facilities staff. Such requests will be accommodated only if the proposed activity results in minimal impact to the facility‘s environment for research and study.
  • For student filming, please review the approval process.

Please note: Only USC students, faculty, staff, alumni, and sponsored guests may be present in libraries open after 9:00 p.m. or before 7:00 a.m (this generally affects Leavey Library). All patrons will be asked to present their physical USCard, digital USCard + a government issued picture ID (for USC students enrolled in USC’s online programs), an Alumni Association physical or digital card + a government issued picture ID, or library-issued USC identification during these times.
