We apologize for any inconvenience caused by today’s power outage at W. W. Hagerty Library. The outage was caused by a transformer problem at 32nd street and PECO has since resolved the problem. The building was temporarily evacuated but has since reopened.
 | Next time you are in the W.W. Hagerty Library, be sure to check out the Silent Spring exhibit case on the the first floor near the elevators. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring – the watershed event for public and congressional movement on environmental issues. |
“As crude as the cave man’s club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life–a fabric on the one hand delicate and destructible, on the other miraculously tough and resilient, and capable of striking back in unexpected ways.” – Silent Spring, p 279.

Prezi is a web-based application that allows for multi-authoring of visual presentations, which makes it great for group projects. Instead of a slide deck, you create your presentation on a large canvas – you can pan and zoom to different parts of the canvas as you present different ideas. You can easily insert text, images, videos, PDFs and hyperlinks into your Prezi to make the content more engaging. This workshop is a hands-on, introduction to the tool.

On Monday, May 7th, the Libraries will launch two exciting new pilot programs at W. W. Hagerty Library:
1. Roving Assistance – Libraries’ staff, equipped with an iPad, will circulate throughout W. W. Hagerty Library offering guidance and assistance to patrons. So, if you see a Libraries staff member – ask them your question about finding an item, printing, or other library related issues. They can help find items in the catalog and more, from any space in the building.
2. iPads on Loan – Drexel Students, Staff and Faculty are invited to participate in a pilot program at the Libraries involving the circulation of the iPad2. In total, 10 iPads will be available on loan from the circulation desk between week 6 and finals. These iPads can be checked out starting at 10 AM and must be returned by midnight. They are not available on weekends. Individuals are not required to remain in W. W. Hagerty Library during the loan term but are asked to complete a questionnaire at the completion of their loan period. More information will be available soon.
An iPad loan program will be piloted at Health Sciences Libraries locations during the summer.
