Dear C-SPAN

I’m currently enjoying the audio of Emily Sheketoff’s (of the ALA Washington office) recent C-SPAN appearance. I stress audio since the audio is very out of sync with the video. Ok, problems occur and I’m willing to over look it. However, why can’t I embed the video in my blog?

NBC Nightly News: Libraries offer free relief from tough times


Thanks dad

Help me get a list of magazines included in Google Book Search?

In response to this Google Blog post, and last night’s episode of Uncontrolled Vocabulary, I’m on a quest to get a list of magazine titles out of Google. Here’s my opening salvo sent to gblog@google.com, the feedback address for the Google blog. Please feel free to help me out by sending your own e-mail to Google.

Speaking for myself and many other librarians we love the fact that you’re now including magazines in Google Book Search. However, it would be very useful for us if there was a list of indexed titles available. Does such a list exist online and if so where? If not, to whom would we direct such a request?

Thanks!
