Services for Faculty & Staff
Drexel University’s subject librarians are experts in information across its entire lifecycle — from the creation, evaluation, and dissemination of knowledge to preservation and long-term access.
They are highly trained with deep knowledge and expertise in research techniques and search strategies in the disciplines they support and can provide a wide range of services to Drexel students, faculty, researchers, and staff.
Connect
Librarians strive to build strong relationships and ensure that all members of the Drexel community have the information, tools, and skills they need to succeed. They are available to:
- Attend academic department meetings
- Attend faculty and student orientations
- Support program accreditation and certification processes
Instruct
Librarians partner with Drexel faculty to teach information literacy and research skills across the curriculum.
They can provide:
- Assignment design support
- Library instruction sessions
- Learning objects and tutorials
- Subject Guides
- Experiential learning environments
Requests for the above services should be submitted to librarians@drexel.libanswers.com at least two weeks in advance. While we make every effort to accommodate all requests, we cannot guarantee fulfillment within that timeframe. During high traffic times, or for more complex requests, librarians may require additional time.
Consult
Librarians assist with navigating complex information inquiries. They offer one-on-one consultations during which students, faculty, researchers, and staff can discuss their information needs.
Librarians can help:
- Identify keywords, terminology, or controlled vocabulary
- Develop effective search strategies
- Identify appropriate databases and resources
- Evaluate the quality and credibility of sources
- Guide researchers to information resources outside their primary fields
