World Newsreels (4 countries) – Trial
Motivation Third form Hum. Student: “This NBC newsreel about Sputnik is from the U.S. Doesn’t the library have one from Russia that I could watch?” Me: “uhhhhhhhhh” And while not Russian, library vendor Alexander Street Press, did recently release a new collection of 1929-1966 historic newsreels. Which countries? U.S., a little Japan, some from France as well as some Dutch clips. Want a look? Trial access (when on the SPS network) is available through Feb 20 here. Comments? Applications come to mind? Should the library buy? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
