    Created using Thinkmap data-animation technology, this is a ‘spatial map of linguistic associations’; in effect, a visualisation of the operation and meaning of a thesaurus. Click on any of the floating words and a variety of associated words and meanings branch out, then click on these, and journey on through the English language. A simple idea, beautifully executed, but will only work on systems that support Java.

    A searchable, annotated subject directory of nearly 8,000 resources selected and evaluated by librarians. Informative without being too wordy, attractively laid out and easy to use, it divides each topic into ‘Best of...', ‘Directories’, ‘Databases’ and ‘Specific Resources’. Radio and television are categorised under ‘Media’, but films are hidden under ‘Recreation’.
    This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 30/08/2007.This does not include access to the moving images.

    Discussion Lists

    Discussion list hosted by the University of California Berkeley Library on the acquisition, evaluation, bibliographic control, preservation and use of of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries, educational institutions and video producers and distributors. The primary focus of the discussion supported by this list is on video collection, access, and use. Examples of discussion topics include: copyright and intellectual property issues; evaluations of materials; collection development policy issues; selection methodology; acquisition concerns (locating hard-to-find materials, library/vendor relations, etc.), issues related to evolving video technologies and libraries.

    The Informedia research group at Carnegie Mellon University works with speech recognition, image processing, and language technologies to facilitate machine understanding of video materials. This site is devoted to aspects of Informedia research especially pertinent to digital video libraries for cultural assets, particularly oral histories, and hosts interfaces that build from automatic alignment of transcripts to video, named entity detection, geocoding to support map search, and other multimedia indexing and interface technologies. The IDVL interfaces are built with Adobe Flex, producing a Flash application. The website also includes a number of articles and presentations that come out of IDVL research and projects.

    Courses, Streaming/Download

    The Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis has provided four complete series of hour long video lectures online using RealPlayer (either 56k or broadband): Computer Science (Visual Basic Programming 25 parts), English (Children’s Literature 21 parts), Geology (Indiana Geology 25 parts) and Health (Personal Health 15 parts). Another 15 lectures on Shakespeare are on the site, but are only available to registered students. The lectures never really stray from the usual format of simply recording the teacher standing and speaking for the whole time and no ancillary material is available from the site, which is otherwise admirably uncluttered and easy to use.

    Gresham College, named after Sir Thomas Gresham, has been giving free lectures for some 400 years. Over 2,000 audio and/or video lectures given since 2001 are available on the site for free, on-demand streaming or download approximately two weeks after they have been given. The main subject areas are Art & Literature, Medical Science, Business, History, Law, Mathematics, Music, Politics, Religion, Science, and Unusual, which includes Media, Education, Climate Change and others. Results can also be filtered by subcategories. For example, there is a section on Film under the Arts & Literature category, and a section on Film Music under the Music category. The lectures last, on average, between 25 minutes and a little under an hour. They all have a good number of chapters and a fair amount of information is given on the site as well as transcripts and links to related materials.
    The content can also be browsed via the tab Watch which contains four groupings: All Past Lectures, Series, Shorts and Short Series.

    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.
