Happy New Year from the Drexel Libraries! Dean Nitecki rings in 2022 with a look at some of the challenges faced and initial progress made toward delivering programs and services that support the University’s mission and initiatives.


In December, Prof. Montalto shared his research on sustainability and climate change for a virtual and in-person audience. The fall event not only marked the 10th anniversary year of ScholarSip, but it also marked the return to limited in-person gatherings due to COVID-19 -- a much welcome experience missed for over a year!

The Libraries is launching a new Open Access (OA) fund as part of its efforts to support OA publishing at Drexel. The fund will help subsidize the fees Drexel scholars must pay to publish in OA journals.


The Libraries’ annual report captures events, programs, and activities that occurred during the last year at the Drexel Libraries. Explore the report online and find out about our work to support the University’s missions and ambitions.
