It’s May. And it’s Reading Period. Who has time for movies, unless they’re for a paper or an exam?
Consider this list of the 100 latest additions to the MSEL collection (after the jump) as something to look forward to once finals are done and you can contemplate “pleasure reading and watching” again!
Good luck with your finals!

hah! I wonder how many of those titles you got around to watching? I hate having to curb my entertainment because of work or school obligations. Sometimes I’ll have a single movie or episode of a TV show that I’m just dying to see, yet I can’t justify watching it until I get my homework done! From the list, I’d watch a lot of those titles, and definitely the Sopranos — hopefully in linear fashion.
Thanks for all the new films! It would be very helpful if new releases and other popular titles could be recalled/reserved, even if this means creating a queue of 10+ users. Currently, unless one works in the A/V department, it is neigh impossible to check out a popular title (such as the Wire or Sopranos), exacerbated by the week-long rental time. Shortening the viewing time on new titles to something like 2 or 3 days would also be very helpful. Thanks!
Leigh Anne responds …
Thanks for the comment, Laura. We are certainly aware of this problem and are working on a way to create a queue for AV materials. Keep watching the blog for any changes on this front! Also … in a few months we’ll be starting a new popular DVD collection in MSEL. We’ll place 10-15 new DVDs each month on the shelves in the sitting area of M-Level (next to the recent fiction/ nonfiction collection). Keep your eyes open for that soon.
