Now Available: Watch and Keyword Search Video of Today’s Librarian of Congress Nomination Hearing

April 20, 2016 by Gary Price

A video recording and a searchable text transcript (cool!) of today’s Librarian of Congress of nomination hearing of Dr. Carla Hayden is now available online from the C-SPAN Video Library.
The complete transcript is keyword searchable and you can limit to a specific speaker. Caveat: the transcript comes from the closed-captioning so it’s not perfect but it can get the job done in many cases. Plus, you always have the video to verify what you read. Once you find a clip, click and go directly to the video where those words are spoken. Of course, you can also watch the video from the beginning and scrub forwards and backwards.
There’s More
At the bottom of the video box note the “Clip” link/scissors icon. If you register for a C-SPAN account (free) you can create custom clips of the hearing and share them with with others using a URL generated by the service. A custom can be a portion of the hearing , let’s day from 10:01-15:42. Just move the levers and click.
Essential and Important: The C-SPAN Video Library
2016-04-20_16-21-47
Since day one we’ve been an admirer and regular user of this wonderful and important resource that also happens to be the recipient of a Peabody Award.
In a nutshell this the C-SPAN Video Library contains (as of today) more than 222,000 hours of video content, just about everything that has ever aired on C-SPAN. It’s also free to access and use.
The video includes political rallies, interviews, lectures, tours of historical locations, and thousands of hours of author interviews, all keyword searchable. Video can also be limited using metadata assigned to each entry.
Here are a few of examples of what you’ll find:

  • 58 Videos Featuring Nelson Mandela
  • President John F. Kennedy Discussing U.S. Space Efforts (September 1962)
  • Steve Jobs Appears on a Panel on Improving America’s Economic Position (December 1987)
  • 64 Interviews and Panel Appearances Featuring David McCullough and 10 Featuring Tom Clancy

You can access the C-SPAN Video Library search interface at the top of any C-SPAN web page or from http://www.c-span.org/about/videoLibrary/
More about the C-SPAN Video Library in future posts.
