Free Resources (for Health Sciences)

Graduating USC students retain their full library privileges for one academic period (a semester) after the end of classes. For example, if your last classes ended in May, your full student privileges are enabled through the summer period and end on the last day of the summer term.

After this period, alumni do NOT have remote access to USC Libraries electronic resources.

On campus library privileges for alumni include: 

• Access to USC Libraries locations on the University Park Campus and Norris Medical Library on the Health Sciences Campus.
• Borrowing of standard circulating materials, such as books.
• Use of library information kiosk computers in the Doheny Memorial Library, Wilson Dental Library, and Norris Medical Library. Request access at the Circulation Desk.
• Use of library microform readers, scanners, and photocopiers.

More information:

Try your local public library. If they don't have access to a resource, you can inquire about interlibrary loan services.

• Los Angeles Public Library calls their service "extramural interlibrary loan" which carries a $10 flat fee + fees from the lending library. 
• Los Angeles County Library's interlibrary loan has a $3 per item fee + possible fee from the lending library.
