Podcasts of video recordings of lectures and events held at the University of Warwick, organised under the headings of Business & Economics, Culture, Engineering & Technology, History, Languages, Medicine, Sciences & Mathematics, and Society.
Research-TV was created by the University of Warwick to provide broadcasters with a regular news feed of stories about cutting-edge research. It divides its programmes up into Health, Technology, Society, Science and Nature, Business, and Creative and Cultural. Each comes with synopsis, transcript, links, and the programme in narrowband or broadband options (using Windows Media Player). All stories produced by Research-TV’s news professionals are made available to broadcasters free of charge through the APTN service, on local ends for UK broadcasters and London-based foreign correspondents, with additional tape distribution upon request. All stories are available for preview online on the website, on other online video sites (YouTube, Public.TV, OSTN), and also as vodcasts on iTunes.
Formerly the BBC’s Videos for Learning and Teaching and more recently known as BBC Active, this is an important catalogue for the wide-ranging video tapes of previously transmitted programmes offered by the Corporation to educational institutions. Sadly, as part of its rebranding, the prices have increased up by up to a factor of five (the average cost per title is now £125). The material however remains irreplaceable. It includes such classic documentaries as Life on Earth, The Ascent of Man and items from the Horizon series as well as the perennial BBC Shakespeare titles. These can be by title or contributor, as well as by series and by the following subject categories: Anthropology, the Arts, Business, Drama, Education, Engineering, Environment, Literature, Health & Medicine, History, Natural World, Science & Technology and Social Issues. These titles can also be licensed separately for online learning, festival screenings and exhibitions. Please note that only a small part of the holdings are listed online and it is a good idea to request titles directly.
Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
