History Station: Information Please: The USC Libraries
USC’s landmark Doheny Memorial Library was a state-of-the-art facility when it opened in 1932. But rising enrollments and new information technologies began to tax the old library’s capabilities after a half-century of service and, in 1994, the university dedicated another revolutionary facility: the technologically advanced Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Library. This station traces the history of USC’s libraries and the role they have played in advancing the institution’s academic mission. Sponsor: USC Class of 1990
