Library News

We have upgraded to a new version of Oscar Express, our InterLibrary Loan service.  Benefits of the new version include an easier to use interface, and improvements on the staff side, which means you can expect quicker turnaround times for your requests.  New Oscar Express works very much like the old version: you use your Edgewood account to logon, you can automatically submit requests in from OneSearch, you can track your requests, etc.

Until all requests from the old Oscar Express are completed, you will be able to logon to both systems.  You will find links to both on our Oscar Express page.

Use the New Oscar Express to:

• Place new requests
• View ongoing requests that have not been received yet

Use the Old Oscar Express to:

• View articles that were previously received in the old system, which can be viewed for 30 days after they were received
• To see the list of items you have previously requested

Please contact the library at ill@edgewood.libanswers.com or 608-663-3300 if you have any questions about Oscar Express.

From Jonathan Bloy, Librarian - Head of Digital Initiatives

We recently scanned several aerial photos of the Edgewood campus (most from mid-1960's) and added them to our Edgewood College History digital collection. Overhead views of Edgewood, well before the age of drone photography. How the campus has changed since then! Look closely, and you can also spot a few Madison landmarks, like Camp Randall Stadium.
