The Libraries offer many different ways to search for information - the best search tool to use depends on the type of information you need.  What do you want to find?

Articles & More via Summon

A broad, multidisciplinary tool that searches in-depth across the Libraries' print and electronic collections. Use this to find journal articles, newspaper articles, books, and dissertations. Filter search results by type of source (including peer-review), subject area, year, etc.

Books & More via the Catalog

Traditional author/title/subject and keyword search of print and electronic books, journal titles, videos, etc. in the Libraries' collections.

Article Lookup

Find fulltext access options for a known journal article by filling in citation information, DOI (Digital Object Identifier\) or PMID (PubMed ID number\). If the article is not available through the Libraries' eJournal collections, search further for the print journal in the catalog, or request the article through Interlibrary Loan.

Borrow from Other Libraries

If you don't find what you need in the Drexel Libraries collections, our interlibrary loan services can provide it through cooperative agreements with other libraries.

• E-Z Borrow -- search to borrow books from academic libraries in Pennsylvania
• ILLiad -- request books not available via E-Z Borrow, book chapters, journal articles, etc.
