LINEbreak showcases a broad range of authors from around the country and around the world, from famous novelists and screenwriters whose work is regularly reviewed in The New York Times, The Village Voice and The New York Review of Books, to revolutionary and avant-garde poets, performance artists and video artists whose work is often neglected by the mainstream media. The series is hosted and co-produced by poet and professor Charles Bernstein, and is produced and directed by Martin Spinelli. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=254757 A list of links.

Among these assets you’ll find documents, photographs, audio recordings, and video relating to the events of the presidents’ lives. The goal of the project is to make these resources readily and freely available to students, educators, and adult learners throughout the world. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=256710 Short video produced by India Brand Equity Foundation. The intention is to show the "New India."  While clearly intended to show an India of enormous industrial and service achievement (no poor villages or people), this short video does a good job of presenting its message. A couple of snippets do suggest problems as well as progress: a scene of a smokestack billowing smoke and another of distribution of coal. Will make a good contribution to a class that includes India as one of its topics. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=261754 PennSound is an ongoing project, committed to producing new audio recordings and preserving existing audio archives. We intend to provide as much documentation about individual recordings as possible; new bibliographic information will be added over time (please contact us if you can supplement the information already provided). As part of the PennSound project, the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text & Image (SCETI) in collaboration with the Annenberg Rare Book and Manuscript Collection at the University of Pennsylvania is developing a sophisticated cataloguing tool for all our sound files; this should be available in about one year.
