One of the most successful college football coaches in the history of the game, Lou Holtz consistently developed student athletes who do well in the classroom and, as a result, enjoyed high rates of graduation. His influence has had a profoundly positive impact on the lives of his players, both personally and academically.

Now, in supporting the University Libraries with their endowment, Lou and Beth Holtz continue to touch the lives of all students at the University of South Carolina, as well as benefit the faculty and community researchers who use the library every day. A gift to the Lou and Beth Holtz Endowment for Undergraduate Resources supports the belief that academics and athletics are a winning team.

A wide and diverse range of subjects are covered on this database, from literary studies, classics and history to music, religion, science, medicine, and Latin American, Asian and African-American studies. The Lou and Beth Holtz Endowment for Undergraduate Resources enables University Libraries to maintain this valuable electronic journal subscription.
