Hooked on...

W.W. Hagerty Library was opened in 1983 and has a massive collection of literature which is useful for all majors.

The library provides members of the academic community resources in: audiovisuals, books, catalogs, databases, e-resources, journals, new resources as well as newspapers.

Even with the vast number of resources available in the Hagerty Library, one may be looking for something else, for which the librarians are readily available to aid in Interlibrary-Loan or to suggest one of the immense number of other libraries in the Philadelphia area.

On the lower level of the library is the Electronic Learning Center (ELC.) There are two computer classrooms which are available for students to use when there is not a class in session. Students can rent laptops for use within the building.

There are sixteen separate study rooms in the library. Each accommodates 2-12 persons. The Lower Level of the library is designated for group work, while the rest of the library is considered to be a "quiet area."

Drexel University students also have the ability to utilize the University of Pennsylvania's Ivy League libraries.
