Drexel Libraries Student Orientation Guide

Welcome!

Welcome to the Drexel University Libraries!

This guide serves as a virtual orientation to the Libraries' resources and services for students.

Whether you want to schedule a virtual consultation with an expert librarian, check out a book or DVD for your own enjoyment, attend a DUL event or workshop, or find a quiet place to study, we encourage you to take advantage of all the Libraries' facilities, resources and services throughout your career at Drexel.

On behalf of the Drexel Libraries, we wish you a very warm welcome Dragons!
