EveryZing: Audio & Video Text Search

EveryZing, a Boston-based search engine formerly known as PodZinger, offers the ability to search online audio and video files for specific words or phrases that appear. Unlike most video search engines that search tags or other information about the videos, EveryZing uses speech-to-text technology to make it possible to search the actual words spoken.

Content varies widely, but include such mainstream news media sources as NBC's Meet the Press, ABC and CBS News podcasts, as well as several local newscasts, sports radio, selected YouTube videos, and more.

Search results not only present the matching audio and video files, they let you go to the point or points in a program where your search terms appear. You can also click on "More from this source" to search a particular program.

Last Minute Help with Citation Styles

Are you having trouble with APA or MLA citation style for that end-of-semester paper? Help is available in a number of ways.

First check out the excellent online guides to APA and MLA from the Writers' Workshop at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. You'll find instructions and examples there for the most common types of references and in-text citations -- and for some less common types, as well.

You can also find the full APA and MLA manuals in O'Neill Library. Just ask for them at the reference desk. If you're still stuck, send me a message. I'm not an expert, but I'll check my sources and try to find the answer you need.
