After you install and run the VPN "client" software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.

Prelinger Archives official site

About ephemeral films

Prelinger Archives on the Internet Archive: view the films! Use the Tag Cloud or Browse by Subject/Keywords

Search box near the top of the screen allows you to limit your search to the Prelinger Archives or search all Moving Images available via the Internet Archive

The default "any field" search includes comments field, shotlist, etc.

Truncation/wildcard symbol is * (child* = child, childs, children, childish, childhood...)

If you need two or more words to appear together (a phrase) use quotes

Boolean operators (AND, OR, AND NOT) must be in caps

Advanced search allows a bewildering array of possibilities, including limiting by date and "boosting" a term (increasing the relevance of a search term)

Media Resources Center lists of media: Commercials and Advertisements

Non Fiction Film and Television - including ephemera, propaganda, political debates and ads, etc.

Time Magazine archive, 1923-present.

Citation Management Tools

clee@library.berkeley.edu (Corliss Lee) — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 09:39:26 -0700

Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!

Zotero: A free plug-in that works exclusively with the Firefox browser: keeps copies of what you find on the web, permits tagging, notation, full text searching of your library of resources, works with Word, and has a free web backup service.
RefWorks - free for UC Berkeley users. It allows you to create your own database by importing references and using them for footnotes and bibliographies. Use the RefWorks New User Form to sign up.
EndNote: may be purchased from UC Berkeley's Software Central.

It's always good to double check the formatting -- sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
