What is Hoge and how do I request items from it?
Answer
When you are searching in the library catalog, you may come across books, microform, or periodicals marked with the location "Hoge." This is a building on campus that stores lesser-used items.
Items in this building can be requested for delivery to the library or scanned when a patron only needs an article from a periodical.
Requesting a Physical Item
If you need an item physically brought to the Circulation desk, please email the Circulation department circ2@skidmore.edu with the details for the item. We'll collect it for you and have it available within 72 hours at the desk.
Requesting an Article Scan
If you need an article scanned from one of the print periodicals in Hoge, please fill out the Hoge Request form in your Interlibrary Loan account. The form is under the menu New Requests. ILL will scan a copy of the article and make it available to you as a PDF in your account within 48 hours.
