    A portal which helps people to ‘find great podcasts’. Curated by Max Temkin and Veronica Corzo-Duchardt, the site presents a selection of mainly American podcasts, arranged under a number of topics, including Tech, Science & Education, Politics & Econ and Storytelling. An Interview page features transcripts of question and answer sessions with podcasters, writers, designers and other culturally-aware, creative people, who talk about their favourite podcasts, and why (and how) they like listening to them. The site works well because its focus is fairly narrow: the emphasis is on curation, and presenting a carefully selected range of interesting podcasts, rather than a comprehensive but overwhelming list of resources.

BIBS produces live webcasts, then archives these for on-demand replay (at least 100 Kbs bandwidth required). The schedule for 2001 includes lecture series on General Biology, General Chemistry, Computing, Classic Myths, Aging, Microelectromechanical Systems, Mathematics, Nutrition and Physics. Most of the lectures use Real Media and the individual schedules are clearly laid out, although not all lecture titles are given. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 13/10/2007. This does not include access to the moving images.

    Databases, Information Sources

    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.
