New Electronic Resources

by Amelia Brunskill 8/29/2012 1:26:00 PM

We are pleased to announce exciting new electronic resources that we hope you will find useful in your teaching and research. Please let us know if you have questions about any of this new content or would like a demonstration for your faculty meeting or class.

Paley Center's iCollection

This collection of streaming media contains over 15,000 full-length television and radio programs and spans 70 countries and almost 100 years. Content includes both news coverage and entertainment, with selected episodes from a wide range of new and old TV series. Users must create accounts here before using this program. The subscription id needed for registration is F5727344-7793-4059-AC67-154670DC3554. Last spring's trial of this resource received an enthusiastic response from both faculty and students.

“I find the Paley Center icollection to be a potentially invaluable resource for the College of Communication and specifically instructors and students in Mass Communication. The breadth and wealth of content for anyone researching or teaching with media content is outstanding, ranging from news to entertainment programming and advertising. This type of material directly impacts learning in MCS and Journalism and PRAD.”
-Jason Martin, Assistant Professor – Journalism

“This is terrific; this is great for my sophomore seminar on The American Sense of Humor - in a quick search, I found material that has already helped me in class (good monologues by Fred Allen, for example). ... I see myself using it for several ad classes (copywriting, principles of advertising and consumer promotion) as well as the humor course. With everything in one place, this will not only make class prep and material more meaningful, but providing this resource for papers gives the students a great resource to explore and build their base of knowledge.”
-Dan Azzaro, Instructor, Communication

The content is selective rather than comprehensive in terms of its coverage of series, but the selected content is taken from a wide variety of shows such as The Sopranos, I Love Lucy, Mad Men, Leave It to Beaver, Prime Suspect, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
