Howdy everyone. Has anyone had any experience using or evaluating the NBC Learn product? I would love to hear what you think. It's got about 14000 clips of NBC news items. There are transcripts and decent metadata (although I'm not sure about MARC records). I'm doing a trial on this product right now but it seems to me it might be more appropriate for high schools or community colleges. Here's some more information:

Now, for the first time, NBC Learn is making these historic and current events resources available to faculty, instructional technologists, course designers, librarians, and students.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
