Or, where and how to get anime on and around campusOur Library
Although we're still rather young as an organization, we are working to build a decent library of anime which students can check out and watch on their own. This also helps to cut down on people wanting to see the same popular series every semester. Our library has grown substantially since we first began, and we're very proud of it. The Reserve Room
All of the club's anime is kept on reserve in Mudd Library. To check something out, just bring the call number to the Circulation Desk on the main level. You can browse our collection through OBIS by searching for "Anime Club"
in Course Reserves. The checkout time for Anime Club items is two days, with a $2/hour fine if late. The Catalog
Everything in our library is an official release (aka not a bootleg). Audio is hybrid (Japanese and English) unless it's a VHS, in which case it's Japanese audio with English subtitles. Titles that look like this are incomplete.
