Welcome to the Drexel Libraries: Resources for New Dragons

Welcome to Drexel University and the Libraries! The Libraries offers much more than books and a place to study. Our work is to provide information resources, learning environments, services, and expertise that support and engage students, faculty and staff to become information-savvy navigators in a global, knowledge-dependent society.

Below are just a few of the resources and services the Libraries offers all Drexel students, faculty and staff. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to explore and familiarize yourself with our resources and services (as well as our four physical locations across Drexel campuses) before classes begin.
