New Popular DVD Collection

Today is a big day at Gould Library: We’ve just launched a new Popular DVD Collection located in the Rookery (a.k.a. that place in the middle of 4th Libe where people like to nap). In this collection, you’ll find hundreds of great feature films and documentaries to browse. And when you find something to check out, here’s how you do it:

1. Find a movie you want to check out.
2. Take the empty case and your OneCard to the reserves desk.
3. Exchange the case for the DVD.
4. Enjoy it, return it, and repeat!

Carleton faculty, staff, and students all have the same loan period: 3 days with one renewal. If you have comments on the collection, please comment below or e-mail me at mbailey at carleton dot edu.
