The Nation

The library MUST get a subscription to The Nation. Inexcusable!

Thank you for the recommendation. We have ordered a print subscription for Hagerty Library. Meanwhile, you can use the library’s catalog to access The Nation’s recent issues as well as its archives going back to 1865. And you can find the latest issue in print at the Hahnemann and Law Libraries.

Preparing for the Dental Admission Test (Hagerty Library)

Please buy DAT books for library use.  Drexel does not have only pre-meds.  Don’t make the others left out.  Thanks for consideration!

Thank you for your suggestion.  We hear you, and will definitely acquire some Dental Admission Test books soon.  Keep an eye out for them!

LGBTQ magazines [Hagerty Library]

The Advocate Magazine?  We see no magazines with articles related to LGBTQ studies.  Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion. You will be happy to know that we do have The Advocate! However, like most of our periodicals, it is not available in print, but rather online in full-text. You can see the available issues here.  Also, we have many periodicals related to LGBTQ studies here at the library.  A keyword search for “gay periodicals” in the library catalog turned up twenty titles!

A Midnight Clear [Hagerty Library]

I believe you used to have A Midnight Clear by William Wharton in the library, but I looked it up again and could not find it! It’s a brilliant WWII novel, and I would love to read it again. Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion. This does look like an interesting book! I looked into our records, and we have no record of ever having this book. My recommendation is that you obtain this book through E-Z Borrow (which links from the library’s homepage at “Borrow from Other Libraries” in the purple box). A book ordered through E-Z Borrow takes about 3-5 business days to arrive—you will be notified via email when it is ready to pick up at the Circulation Desk. We hope you enjoy reading this book!

Manga Madness [Hagerty Library]

Got manga?

Why, yes! As a matter of fact, we do. We have a great selection of recently-published manga in our Leisure Books collection. We also have an excellent collection of graphic novels on the second floor of Hagerty in the NC1764.5 and PN6790 sections. Please see staff at the reference desk if you would like additional help.

“Good Reads” Online [Hagerty Library]

Please have a list of recommended books to read online as well. I noticed that you have it at the suggestion board. Having online book recommendations would just be awesome.

Thanks for your excellent suggestion. We are excited about an online implementation of the “Good Reads” board, and we are currently considering such an endeavor. We have several other “high priority” projects at this time, but please be aware that we would like to do this in the future.
