How to find streaming archival sound recordings in Searchworks
Recently, at the Archive of Recorded Sound we have had discussions with many students about finding more than just the expected in Searchworks. In this case digitized archival sound recordings. Many of the sound recordings we work to preserve and provide access to are available streaming to the Stanford community and a few are even available to anyone interested in the world. Following are two video tutorials on how to filter search results to streaming archival sound recordings in Searchworks.
The first tutoral is for finding digitized 78 rpm records in the catalog, it is worth noting that at this juncture the 78 rpm recordings are available to members of the Stanford community via streaming, but can be accessed but other researchers for a limited term via another route. For information access please visit the Archive of Recorded Sound website. The second tutorial is on accessing the world available recordings from the Allen Ginsberg collection, but the process could be applied to any area of interest. Now on to the tutorials.
