About ebooks at USC Libraries:

• USC Libraries purchases ebooks rather than print /physical books whenever possible.
• Due to publisher restrictions, some library ebooks have limited simultaneous access, usually 1-3 people at a time. For these ebooks, you will have to wait until the ebook becomes available to access it.
• Depending on publisher restrictions, some ebooks allow downloads for the entire book or a specific number of pages or chapters. Some cannot be downloaded in any capacity and can only be read online in your web browser. 
• Not all publishers provide subscriptions to academic libraries. Even when an ebook is available for individuals to purchase or rent, the library may not be able to purchase it. 
• Some publishers only provide academic library subscriptions to previous editions.

If you find an article or book not available through USC Libraries, request the item through Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery.  

The catalog record for the book will show if the book is available online, in print, or both. Ebooks include the words "Available Online" in the catalog record.
