Welcome to Korean Studies Guides!  

The Library Catalog is the best place to find USC's extensive print and electronic resources on Korea.

Print collections in English on Korea are housed in various campus libraries according to their subjects (Doheny, VKC, Leavey, Grand, Art and Architecture, etc.) 

Print collections in Korean are housed mostly in the East Asian Library stacks in on Level 1 of Doheny Memorial Library (DML) Stacks. The remote Grand Library also holds substantial Korean materials (bound journals, large sets, older materials, films on VHS, non-core subjects, microfilms, etc.).  Most of the books in Grand can be paged on USC Libraries Online Catalog. Reference books and current print journals are in the East Asian Library Reading Room on the first floor of Doheny Memorial Library.

Korean video collections are in the closed stacks in DML 122, which are pageable from the Doheny Circulation Desk. 

Easier readers for Korean language learners are in the Extensive Reading Corner in the East Asian Library Reading Room.

For Korean electronic resources, see the Find Articles & Theses tab and the separate guide, Libguides.usc.edu/kmulti
