I am interesting in identifying possible databases that indexes, and possibly links lectures, presentations, shiurim, etc. hosted at academic forums, museums and community centers. I think that certain lecturers host mp3 files and podcasts on their own web sites. Other institutions post shiurim on theirs (eg. Yeshiva University). However, is there a managing body that is involved in this new technology? I asked a student last night what her thoughts were about this and she was equally curious...I haven't had much success with Google. Personally, I would like to find a dedicated database to that purpose, either Jewish or secular. Of course, there is the issue of intellectual property rights as well. I welcome any information people might have on this subject.
