WRIT 150: Education and Intellectual Development

USC Libraries strategically invests in a digital collection of books, journals, databases, and other electronic resources. As a policy we collect electronic resources when those formats are available and purchase print items if digital formats are unavailable. This allows users to instantly access library resources, promotes accessibility, and grants online learners uninterrupted access to the collection.
