Student Quotes About the Libraries
“Doheny is a beautiful building, but inside it’s like a maze – someone could die in the stacks and not be found for years.”
“I’ve found so many interesting books there that I don’t need; it’s the ones I’m looking for that I can never find.”
– SCampus 1972-73

All USC computer users are expected to respect the rights and property of others, and to understand that sanctions will be brought against those who fail to do so. Users are expected to familiarize themselves with USC’s computing policies by reviewing them online at www.usc.edu/its/policies.
