Books and articles are your best bet for doing research in design history. Search DragonSearch (below). Keyword search by artist or time period or material such as Arts and Crafts Movement or mid-century modern furniture.
Tip: search words as a phrase by placing them in quotes (for example, "Herman Miller"). Can't find what you need? Contact a Librarian!
Click the hamburger menu in the upper left and select Settings. Select Library Links and search for Drexel. Select all the Drexel options and hit Save.
