The Juvenile Book Collection, and the “National Bibliographies” formerly shelved on the lower level of Hagerty Library have been moved temporarily to the third floor so that installation of compact shelving can begin on the lower level.
The Juvenile Books can now be found directly in front of Room 318, with the picture books to the left side of the aisle, and the chapter books/young adult books to the right. The National Bibliographies have been moved to the end of the journal shelves, near the Stern Room.
As we continue to replace the print bound journal and index collections at Hagerty with available electronic journal coverage, we have purchased more electronic content and indexes available to the entire University community. We now own the electronic backfiles to 549 journals not previously accessible online to Drexel Libraries. These titles are contained within several Springer Online Archive packages and the American Institute of Physics Archive that have been purchased with funds provided by the Provost for replacing our print journals. Fifty-eight of these titles replace Hagerty’s bound print holdings; the rest are additions to our collection.
All of these titles are now available in the catalog and electronic journals list. Please see the following pages for the individual journal titles included in each collection:
Additionally, we have purchased several retrospective abstracting and indexing databases to replace the print indexes currently shelved on the third floor of Hagerty Library. We now have available the following Wilson retrospective databases:
Purchase of these databases was made possible by funding from the Provost, with additional funding for Library Literature and Information Science Retrospective made possible by the iSchool. Access to these databases is now available through the Databases lists and in the Library Catalog.

A librarian’s work is more likely now to focus on bits, bytes and blogs than books, but for most of us, it was our early love of books that brought us to what we do.
In celebration of National Children’s Book Week (November 12th – 17th), we bring you our favorites; not necessarily the award winning books, or the “classics” — although you’ll spot both Caldecott and Newbery award winners – but the books we begged our parents to read over and over and over, or as we started reading on our own, the books we read again and again until the covers fell off.
What was your favorite book?
