Alumni Resources

USC Alumni do not have remote access to online library resources or databases.

Please view the USC Libraries Borrowing and Access Privileges page for information about limited onsite library access available to USC alumni and how to apply for the onsite access.

Free databases available after graduation:

PubMed Central is a free archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM). In keeping with NLM’s legislative mandate to collect and preserve the biomedical literature, PMC serves as a digital counterpart to NLM’s extensive print journal collection.

PubMed PubMed includes all PMC content, but also includes paid content.

For a more complete list of resources, view the Health Sciences Free Resources guide.
