"Using NPR Archives for Research"

The LibrarianInBlack blog (2/20/2007) reminds
us that the National Public Radio audio archives can be
a fruitful research source for tracking how an issue
- and coverage of that issue - has unfolded over time.

The archives comprise NPR programs and news
stories dating from 1996 to the present. You can
search the database by keyword and limit results
by program, topic and date range. For each entry,
you are given an abstract and a link to open the
audio file.
