Drake University now has access from 1995-present for a majority of the journal titles hosted
on Elsevier’s ScienceDirect platform (called: Freedom Collection 2018). The only titles that are
excluded from our agreement are the third-party titles they are not allowed to license (Lancet,
Neuron, American Journal of Medicine, etc.). Many of the third-party titles will still be available
to patrons via Get-It-Now (Document Delivery).
In addition, we now have access to all book content on Elsevier’s ScienceDirect platform, called the “All-Access” collection. This collection includes books, book series, encyclopedias, handbooks, and major reference works. See below.
