Each video comes complete with keyword-searchable, synchronized transcripts. As the video plays, the transcript scrolls, and what's being spoken is highlighted. Students and teachers can easily make custom clips, name them, and annotate them—then place their clips into personal playlists, include them in course folders to share and post online, cite them in papers, and embed them on Web sites.

Trial access is available until 6 October. Those interested can access the site at  http://vast.alexanderstreet.com/. As always, if you try it and think it would be a good addition to the library's resources, please let us know.
