The graphics collection includes over 7000 maps, charts, logos, diagrams, etc. The text collection has over 700,000 full text articles. The audio collection includes over 500,000 audio clips from as early as the 1920s. The audio clips may be downloaded into RealPlayer. All the media files may be used IN THE CLASSROOM for assignments, research, handouts, multimedia presentations, overhead projections, and slide shows. The files may NOT BE used on Web sites or in newsletters, newspapers, magazines, brochures, catalogs, commercial announcements, calendars, posters, yearbooks, playbills, T-shirts, promotional items or for commercial use or gain of any kind. [Short interpretation by Harriet: Use is prohibited outside of the classroom.] One unique searching tip: Use single quotation marks for phrases such as 'Florida Marlins.' The help information located on the left side of the screen is excellent and very understandable. Let me know if you have any questions.
