Greetings Faculty Members,
Spring has definitely arrived in South Carolina, and if you find yourself outside enjoying the weather, you can now enjoy the University Libraries web services as well with our new mobile app. See below for more details.
In other news, the new Math Library titles will now be shared with the department each month via email. Look for it in your inbox. Titles are also followable through an RSS feed, which you may access through programs such as Google Reader or Microsoft Outlook.
Best of luck with the rest of the semester. Please visit, email or call the library with any questions, service requests or the like.
Sincerely,
Jessica Hemphill

Get personal research assistance with
"Book A Librarian"
USC students, faculty and staff who want help with their research can make an appointment for a free consultation service that provides a person-to-person session with a librarian. The  sessions can help identify ways to access and navigate electronic resources; develop search strategies; discover and locate primary source materials; search the web for relevant and reliable information; and locate materials for a literature review.
Schedule a consultation.
