We're spoiling you!

A new Athens-moderated service has just been added to the college resources list.

The British Library's Archival Sound Recordings website will eventually give UK Higher and Further Education staff and students free access to over 12,000 recordings including:

• 400 popular music tracks (mostly British bands from the 1930s to 1990s)
• African Writers' Club (250 hours on art, literature, music and politics)
• Art and design interviews (e.g. Denys Lasdun, Eduardo Paolozzi, Paula Rego)
• Oral history of jazz in Britain (with musicians, promoters and label-owners)
• Records and record players (developments in recording technology)
• Sony Radio Awards - drama (every short-listed play 1986-1997)
• Soundscapes (evocative environmental sounds from Great Britain and Canada)
• St Mary-le-Bow public debates (e.g. John Betjeman, Jonathan Miller, Diana Rigg)

Easiest way in is through MyAthens.
