Doheny Library's Current Periodicals Reading Room will undergo renovation beginning during the 2006-2007 holiday break. The current periodicals will move to their new, permanent home in the former Humanities Reading Room, also on Doheny's first floor.
Many of the books from the Humanities Reading Room will move to appropriate locations in Doheny's stacks and reference room, the Hoose Philosophy Library, and the Helen Topping Architecture and Fine Arts Library. Less-frequently used books will move to the Grand Avenue Library on the second floor of the Carol Little Building (CAL), 3 blocks east of campus.
Renovation of the former Current Periodicals Reading Room will continue through the beginning of the spring Semester. However, the books and periodicals affected by the move are scheduled to be accessible in their new locations at the start of classes, January 8, 2007.
HOW TO FIND RELOCATED PERIODICALS AND BOOKS:
CURRENT PERIODICALS-All titles available in the former Current Periodicals Reading Room will be available in the new location.
HUMANITIES READING ROOM BOOKS-You can find them in HOMER, the online catalog. The catalog record of any moved book will indicate its new location.
BOOKS MOVED TO THE GRAND AVENUE LIBRARY- Grand Avenue Library provides electronic paging of its holdings through HOMER. Paged materials are delivered to Doheny Library's Information Services desk, typically within 24 hours. The Grand Avenue Library is also open for walk-in access from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment.
HELP: If you have questions about finding books or periodicals that have moved, staff at Doheny's Information Services desk can help. You can also call (213) 740-2924. Also, try reading the Current Periodicals Services Guide.

New Course Reserves System!
New Undergraduate and Graduate Course Reserves System!
Beginning with Spring 2007 reserve requests, USC Libraries will officially switch to the Ares System for managing course reserves. In anticipation of Spring 2007 reserve request submissions, the "Start a Reserve Request" link below will be replaced with the link to the Ares logon page on November 16, 2006. For more information on the Ares system, please visit Ares Tutorials & F.A.Q.s
A number of instructors who used electronic reserves services during the Fall 2006 semester may have already been pre-registered to use the Ares system by library staff. If you are an instructor who used reserve services during the Fall 2006 semester, please contact idd@usc.edu in order to see if you have already been registered.
If you need to register, go to Create an Account. Then, you can use Ares to submit reserve requests to the library or manage course reserve materials directly.
For personal assistance please call or email one of our Reserve Desks. Also, you can use our Course Reserves Guide.
