Know Your Library: Third Floor

"Shhhhhh..."

3sshhh

Too much noise for you, even in the library? Go up to the 3rd floor, it's the quiet zone! There's plenty of space to stretch out and work on that paper you've been putting off, or book one of the two large study rooms for some quiet study time with a friend!

Digital Collections and where to find them

Responsible for Digital Collections and Creative Matter, a repository for the Skidmore Community's scholarly research, the Head of Digital Projects and Collections is located on the third floor next to Special Collections.

For something "Special"...

Stop by the Ponhdorff Room on the third floor for a look at Special Collections. The Department of Special Collections houses the college’s archives and its rare book collection. The collecting mission of the archives is limited to materials directly related to Skidmore College. This includes, but is not limited to, department and committee records, college and student publications, photographs, news articles, audio-visual recordings, and writings about Skidmore and its community of students, employees and alumni.
