UCLA Library Broadcast NewsScape
http://newsscape.library.ucla.edu/

The UCLA Library has launched the UCLA Library Broadcast NewsScape, which contains nearly two hundred thousand news programs from the United States and around the world from 2005 to the present. The collection provides streaming of news content and includes time-stamped closed caption texts as well as transcripts of many broadcasts, offering advanced search functions to create a transformative platform that enables new and expansive possibilities for teaching, research and scholarship. The NewsScape library was created by scholars and faculty in the Department of Communications Studies at UCLA in close collaboration with the UCLA Library. The UCLA Library is providing the NewsScape collection as a research and educational tool to the UCLA community in the winter of 2013. During its initial launch, it will be accessible at newsscape.library.ucla.edu to all individuals with authenticated UCLA network credentials and those who connect from off-campus via the UCLA virtual private network. We hope to make this collection available to the broader University of California scholarly community of students, faculty and researchers in spring 2013. Development of the technological infrastructure of the UCLA Library Brodcast NewsScape was partially funded by a National Science Foundation Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation grant. The project also received support from the Arcadia Fund. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
