Dear Screen-L: FILM & HISTORY has produced the following CD-ROM resources over the last five years: *CD-ROM FOR 26 YEARS. This word-searchable item has every word of the first 26 year of Film & History on a CD-ROM. If you plug in "New Deal," the adobe acrobat reader calls up every use of the term and clusters them in files beginning with articles with the most uses and working down to the least. We have had a number of purchases, esp. from television producers, but also from the target audience, university libraries. *1999 CD-ROM ANNUAL This CD-ROM is also word-searchable and has thirty-five brand-new scholarly articles plus two entire books by John E. O'Connor, American History/American Film plus American History/American Television.. We also have on this item a video and a workshop with the historical advisors to AMISTAD. *2000 CD-ROM ANNUAL This CD-ROM is also word-searchable and has forty brand-new articles plus the two O'Connor books. We also have a video plus a radio show with Gary Edgerton and Peter Rollins discussion their new collection from the UP of Kentucky entitled TELEVISION HISTORIES: SHAPING POPULAR MEMORY IN THE MEDIA AGE (2001). The "annuals" will be a regular feature from Film & History; some libraries have created standing orders for them. All details for the CD-ROMs are on the Film & History web site: www.filmandhistory.org Good luck! Peter Peter C.
