Keyword Search Booknotes Transcripts, Access Bios of Congressional Candidates and Incumbents

Web Resources of the Week
Resource of the Week #1
Keyword Search Transcripts of All C-SPAN "Booknotes" Programs, Listen to Programs Online
C-SPAN, a cable/satellite channel here in the U.S. that airs public affairs and live coverage of the U.S. Congress. Every Sunday, C-SPAN airs Booknotes, a program that features hour-long one-on-one interviews with authors of non-fiction books. The program has been on the air since 1989. The program archives, available on the web at no charge, is a treasure chest of interesting material, most of it completely searchable. Using the search box at the top of the Booknotes homepage or via the wonderful and robust Advanced Interface, you�ll be able to keyword search transcripts of all interviews and then read the transcript or listen to the program online. For example, here's a search for the phrase "Library of Congress" "Library of Congress" limited to the "Reporters and Writers" category. Really interesting and useful material for history buffs, teachers, reporters, and just about everyone else. Btw, the Archives can also be browsed by date.

Resource #2
Who�s Running for Congress? Who�s Running for Governor?
The Leadership Directories (a.k.a. The Yellow Books) are well-known sources for biographical and directory information about government officials in the U.S. If you who don�t have access to the latest directories or don�t have access at your desk, I have some good news to share. Leadership Directories Inc. is providing the full profile for ALL Congressional Candidates and Gubernatorial Candidates (incumbents and challengers, 11/2002 election) available on the web at no charge.
