ProQuest Reference Library
Take advantage of USC Libraries research tools from your home or any location worldwide. In partnership with the USC Alumni Association, the libraries are now offering alumni 24/7 access to the online ProQuest Reference Library database. This powerful resource includes nearly 4000 titles, ranging from popular magazines to scholarly journals and specialized trade publications.
Please Note
We invite USC alumni to visit the libraries and make full use of our resources. However, the licensing agreements for many of our electronic journals and databases currently limit remote access to USC students, faculty, and staff. In addition, the interlibrary-loan and document-delivery services—as well as priority use of certain library spaces, equipment, and materials—are reserved for USC students, faculty, and staff. The USC Gould School of Law sets access policies for the Asa V. Call Law Library.
