Most books on linguistics will be found in the stacks in Doheny Memorial Library. Stack maps are available at the Circulation and Reference desks.Many older materials are kept in our off-campus facility, the Grand Avenue Library, and must be paged through the Libraries' online catalog.

For a map of the campus libraries, click here and then choose Libraries on the left.

When searching the USC Libraries catalog for concepts that have meanings in other disciplines - such as “cohesion,” “hierarchy,” or “redundancy,” try using the Advanced Search and searching for the concept preceded by the word “Linguistics.”
