The Media Resources Center at the University of California, Berkeley (described in the
February 27, 1998 Scout Report) is continually expanding its selection of video and audio files, offering highlights from its collection and the Berkeley Language Center (BLC) Language Lab Speech Archives. The audio section contains a number of lengthy full-text speeches and readings delivered on the Berkeley campus by notable figures such as Malcom X, Noam Chomsky, Umberto Eco, Robert Frost, Margaret Mead, Michel Foucault, and the leaders of the Free Speech Movement. The video section currently features clips from the upbeat and musically-vibrant films of Bay Area filmmaker Les Blank. Both sections use the Streamworks Player, which offers excellent streaming audio and video performance.
