Bibliographic Instruction (BI) Room

The BI Room (Library, 118) contains 22 computer stations and a projected computer screen to assist in instruction. The room may be reserved by faculty for a class period, but not the entire semester, by calling the Library Office (x5506) the week the room is needed.

Pohndorff Room

During the Academic year, the Pohndorff Room is a Special Collections Reading Room from Monday to Thursday, 10 am - 4 pm, and Friday, 10 am - 3 pm.

Classes wanting to schedule time (for special events see below) to use the Special Collections can arrange to meet in the Pohndorff Room by contacting Wendy Anthony, the Special Collections Associate (x5509). Any change in the Reading Room seating arrangement (for classes only -- for special events see below) should be negotiated between the professor using the room (or the department secretary) and Wendy Anthony.

Use of the Pohndorff Room for Skidmore College events after 5 pm can be arranged through the library office, extension x5506.

All work order for seating changes must be arranged by the department making the reservation.

Housekeeping (Colleen Manning x5866) is responsible for reconfiguring the Pohndorff Room. Seating arrangements cannot be done until 4:30 pm on the day of the event and the Reading Room arrangement MUST be back in place by 9:30 am the following day, except on weekends.

Food is NOT allowed in the Pohndorff Room except for evening and weekend events. The department hosting an evening event is responsible for making all arrangements for refreshments directly through Food Services (x5850). All food MUST be cleared from the room after the event.
