You have a number of resources available to you to assist in locating your sourcehunts.
Library catalogs - check to see if the material is available at Biddle, on campus or at Drexel's main library
You will need your Penn ID to access campus libraries and Drexel's library. The first time you are borrowing books from Drexel's Hagerty Library you will need a letter of introduction, available at Biddle's reference desk. If you're borrowing materials for your journal, please remember to let the staff at the respective library's circulation desk know that you are with a journal. Each library maintains a list of authorized borrowers for each journal. If the staff informs you that they don't have your name on their list, contact your journal's Research Editor.
Remember to make a note of any materials that are listed in a library's online catalog but are not available to check out - for example, missing from shelf, signed out, lost.
Many materials that you may need are available in pdf format, which is an acceptable format for sourcehunts. Click on the PDF Resources tab above for detailed information.
