USC Libraries Policies on Access and Borrowing Privileges

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

Printers, computers, technology

Several libraries have computers for searching library databases, networked B&W/color photocopiers for printing, audio-visual players, audio- and video- recorders, self-service document scanners, microform readers and digital cameras.

Leavey, Norris Medical, and Science and Engineering libraries have windows laptops available for check out at their circulation desks.

Computer access requires a USC computer account. USC students, staff, and faculty should use the same login information they use for their USC email accounts.

Visitors (including alumni and Friends of the Library) can request access to information kiosk computers (stand-up terminals only) on site at the circulation desk in the Doheny Memorial Library. Please note that public login expires automatically after 30 minutes and may be renewed at staff discretion for an additional 30 minutes, for a total of 60 minutes on the same day.

Printing and Scanning

USC Libraries provides a variety of printing options:

  • wireless internet access;
  • USC Network access from Libraries Desktop/Lab work stations;
  • from your mobile device;
  • from all library information kiosk terminals.

To facilitate research, some of our libraries are also equipped with the latest Xerox multifunction printers capable of copying and scanning and emailing documents.

You must create a Library Print account in order to print or copy on one of the Xerox multifunction printers.
