To search for book locations in USC Libraries, please conduct AUTHOR, TITLE or SUBJECT, via USC Libraries portal page . I recommend using Advanced Search to customize your search for quicker and more precise results.
Please note that Asa V. Call Law Library at USC has a separate catalog!
Most fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction books in English, as well as literary criticism and literary journals and periodicals can be found in the Doheny Memorial Library. In addition, the Leavey Library (open 24/7) has a small collection of books in all areas.
The call number range PS corresponds to the Subject range "American Literature"; the call number range PR corresponds to British and other literatures in English. In the Doheny Library, the PR and PS sections are on the second level of stacks, behind the Circulation desk.
