February 2012

 

We at the libraries hope that your semester has begun well.  If there is a book (or other one-time purchase) you would like the library to order, please send the request to me by March 15 so it can be processed and fulfilled by the end of the fiscal year.  As always, if you have a library or information-related concern or request, I will be glad to help.

 

All the best,

Andrea

ILL offers new online feature

Have you ever thought that a book you requested through ILL would make a good addition to our library collection?  Now USC booksfaculty who ask to borrow a book or other item from another institution through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) have the option to request that the item be purchased and added to the Libraries' collection.  Find out how easy it is to request a purchase.
 

Are you getting the most out of My Account

"My Account"?

 

All faculty members have access to the library through "My Account".   "My Account" allows you to:

 

1) view and renew checked out materials

2) save "preferred searches" in the catalog and receive alerts when new materials are added that match your search

3) keep a record of the materials you have borrowed (optional).  

 

You can do all of this without coming into the library! "My Account" is linked on the library's homepage and within the library's Catalog.  Click here for help topics on using "My Account."
