The Business Library should be used in conjunction with the Thomas Cooper Library, which contains substantial holdings of materials in these fields. Reserve materials are listed in notebooks under the instructor's name and are located behind the circulation desk. Students may request reserve items using a current USC identification card and the call number listed beside the titles. Reserve materials circulate within the library for a two-hour period and cannot be taken out of the library for any reason . In addition there are periodical indexes, corporate annual reports, and various accounting, tax, finance and international business services are available.
Handouts are available which list key reference sources for company, industry and country research.
In addition, Thomas Cooper Library houses many business and economics monographs. The Business Library also has an uncataloged textbook collection where books are shelved within broad subject categories by author's name. All books circulate for a four-week period. A core collection of approximately 300 business and economic periodicals is available in the Business Library. Current issues are displayed alphabetically by title.
