The USC Libraries actively support the discovery, creation, and preservation of knowledge. We develop collections and services that support and encourage the academic endeavors of faculty, students, and staff; build a community of critical consumers of information; and help develop engaged world citizens. USC has 23 libraries and information centers and the USC Digital Library. For more information on the Libraries' mission, check out the strategic plan. Please contact Jade Winn, with any questions or comments. 2017-2018 see all stats 128,545 Circulation 2,414,029 Gate Count 5,525,687 Titles Held 43,180 Instruction Participants 2016-2017 see all stats 106,576 Circulation 2,935,173 Gate Count 4,446,428 Titles Held 50,449 Instruction Participants 2015-2016 see all stats 117,819 Circulation 3,322,239 Gate Count 4,536,928 Titles Held 48,139 Instruction Participants 2014-2015 see all stats 116,924 Circulation 3,534,652 Gate Count 4,235,760 Titles Held 27,819 Instruction Participants 2013-2014 see all stats 141,266 Circulation 2,959,692 Gate Count (UPC only) 3,779,312 Titles Held 24,258 Instruction Participants 2012-2013 see all stats 184,328 Circulation 2,972,228 Gate Count (UPC only) 3,620,156 Titles Held 21,938 Instruction Participants 2011-2012 see all stats 210,757 Circulation 2,773,453 Gate Count (UPC only) 3,577,702 Titles Held 26,698 Instruction Participants 2010-2011 see all stats 263,704 Circulation 2,634,659 Gate Count (UPC only) 3,383,393 Titles Held 24,950 Instruction Participants
