The USC Libraries develop and deliver diverse collections, services, and programs that support and encourage USC’s academic, creative, and professional endeavors. We experiment. We invent. We cultivate an inclusive community of intellectually enterprising thinkers, creators, and practitioners as we contribute to the development of engaged, ethical, and inspiring global citizens. USC has 22 libraries and information centers and the USC Digital Library. For more information on the libraries' mission, check out the 2017 strategic plan and our mission, vision, and values, revised in 2022. The 2022 revisions are provisional while the libraries are in a period of interim leadership.
