   Drew users may check if we have access to a title by searching the Journal List. You may also use Browzine to find journals by title or subject, track favorite journals and save articles.

6. What about journals we don’t have?
   Due to budgetary restraints and the ongoing commitment required for journal subscriptions, it may not be possible to acquire new journals without canceling other subscriptions. Refer to the Library’s Collection Development Policies and Procedures document for more information. 

7. What resources and databases do we have?
   To enable you and your students to do better research, the library subscribes to databases in all major areas of study at Drew, found at http://libguides.drew.edu/az.php.

   • To ensure student success on assignments you give, it is a good idea to make certain in advance that the needed information and resources are available at the Drew Library. Librarians will be glad to help you with this and with assignment planning in general.  We also offer a list of ‘term-paper alternatives’.
   • Librarians are happy to support students as they tackle research for their class assignments and projects-- it's best to encourage them to make an appointment by emailing the Library at reference@drew.edu.
