East Asian Library

About The East Asian Library

The East Asian Library supports the research and teaching needs of East Asian Studies faculty and students at USC.  Its rich resources include print, video, map, archival, and digital collections of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean-language materials in all fields, with an emphasis on social sciences and humanities. The East Asian Library supports a broader mission of promoting the integration of East Asian perspectives into the learning experiences of the university community.

Location and Access

The East Asian Library Reading Room is located on the first floor of Doheny Memorial Library and includes our Reference Collection, Current Periodicals, and Extensive Reading Collections. There is also a seminar room and group study rooms that may be reserved online. East Asian circulating collections can be found on level one of the Doheny Memorial Library Bookstacks, which can be accessed via the passage to the right of the Main Circulation Desk. Additional East Asian materials are pageable from the library’s off-campus storage facility. A live list of new Chinese, Japanese, and Korean titles that have been added to the East Asian Library in the last four months can be found on the East Asian Library New Book Lists. Electronic resources, including journals, newspapers, yearbooks, e-books, theses and dissertations, and others, can be accessed by members of the university community via the USC Libraries' A-Z database list. For more information about East Asian electronic resources, see our Chinese, Japanese, and Korean collection webpages.

The USC Libraries are temporarily pausing acceptance of unsolicited books and other collections until further notice.

We appreciate your thinking of us. However, please keep in mind that when the pause ends, in most cases we are rarely able to accept unsolicited items. You might also consider organizations like Better World Books or Pick Up Please, or your local public library may accept donations of used books.
