You know that we strive to provide you with the best resources available for all of your research needs, but did you know that there’s more to the Mudd library?
Today, we begin a new series called “What’s in the Mudd”. Stop in the library and take a look at our display of interesting and unusual resources. Better yet, take one to the circulation desk and check it out.
Our display includes:
- Pincus and the Pig: A Klezmer Tale– You know and love Peter and the Wolf. Here it’s performed by the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra. Includes a helpful Yiddish glossary. As a bonus, includes Klezmer versions of Brahms, Satie, and Mahler.
- The Ramones, Anthology– The accompanying booklet says “loud and fast.” We think that sums it up nicely.
- Airplane!– The “Don’t Call Me Shirley” edition. A hilarious homage to disaster movies. Technically, there is a plot, but mostly it’s a string of one-liners. A classic.
- Super Smash Brothers Brawl– The back of the game case claims, “There’s no end to the smashing fun.” It’s true- ask a friend.
- Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat– Read it in English or attempt it in Russian.
- Perfect Hips: Belly Dance Workout– Need we say more?
- Caribbean Cooking for Pleasure- The Mudd library has scads of cookbooks. You can find them by using the term “cookery” as a search term in LUCIA.
- AC/DC Rockband Trackpack– Tired of playing the same songs on your Rockband setup? Why not totally rock out with “the majestic power of AC/DC?” (from game case)
- International Sound Effects Library, volume 1-28- We are featuring volume 3, which contains such sounds as rat squeaks and baboon barks.
- And more!
All this month, we will continue to delight and surprise you with some of the Mudd library’s hidden gems.
