Audio and Video Files on The Virtual Chase

We are experimenting with audio and video for research training purposes. Currently, you will find MP3 audio files for select research articles. You may download these to an iPod or burn them to CD.

You will also find a screencast on using the U.S. Party/Case Index, a nationwide index of case information in the federal courts. You may copy and distribute the files associated with this video as long as you don’t edit the content.

We would appreciate hearing from you about the usefulness (or not) of these services. If you want to comment on the usability (ease of use, clarity/resolution, size, audio or visual quality, etc.) of these materials, please send a screenshot with your comments. Send e-mail comments to tvceditor at virtualchase dot com.

Audio files currently available appear as Live Audio links from these articles:

* The Art of Public Records Research * The Making of a Public Records Researcher

The screencast also is embedded in the linked article above, “The Art of Public Records Research.” The files needed for redistribution are as follows:

Look for more audio and video soon!
