I am reposting the message below that was a response to a professor in
Australia regarding archival and other sources of video and audio
materials about sports, in particular interviews with athletes and
coaches.  I think that some of the sources cited below may be of interest
to any seeking archived sports or news content in general that is in video
or audio formats.  Some may also be interested in the annual Economics of
Sports conference at Temple which appears to be a continuing annual event.

Subject: Re: finding data - athletes talking

There are a number of places that one may turn to for video and sound
recordings of news and sports content recordings.

National online catalogs like Research Library Group Bibliographic File
(RLG) and the OCLC First Search Worldcat database can be limited to sound
and to video materials simultaneously in the case of Worldcat, RLG can be
limited to VIM or visual materials.  Neither of these databases are
available at your school (I checked), but you may be able to get access
through professional courtesy at another university in Australia.

You may not be able to get exactly what you are looking for in archived
media at libraries and instructional materials centers but it is certainly
worth trying.  Searches in these and any other databases that you try
should combine a method of limiting to video and/or sound media and
combine keywords for athletes and coaches combined with the and boolean
operator.  You may also want to try the combination of those words in a
newer Google service, promiss not to laugh, Froogle Google, which is a
shopping product Google database.  Here you may locate commercial videos
and sound recordings, please notice the use of the word may in that
sentence.

Another resource to consider that may produce content for you to the
extent that coaches and athletes get interviewed on television is the
Vanderbilt Television News Archive.

Speaking of Michael Sachs, our list moderator, his contribution at this
event

Temple University
Fox School of Business and Management and
School of Tourism and Hospitality Management
Sports: Risking Danger for Dollars
The Fourth Annual Economics of Sports Conference
Wednesday, March 26, 2003
<http://www.sbm.temple.edu/eos2003/>

<http://listmail.temple.edu/scripts/wa.exe?
A2=ind0303d&L=sportpsy&T=0&F=&S=&P=244>

was excellent.  In particular he made valuable observations about youth
sports in connection with the danger of sports and about the motivation of
athletes that prompts them to take the risks and dangers of such
competition.  The comments of the Pennsylvania State Boxing commissioner
and of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey club broadcaster were very
informative and to say that this pair had personality would be the
understatement of the year.  Two interesting points made by conference
presenters:

Professional unionized team sports in some states of the United States
have mandatory workers compensation for injuries.

College football players are the most "dangerous athletes" because they
are completely uncovered by accident and injury insurance and one reason
that some jump to professional sports before their senior year is so that
they will thereafter be covered by injury insurance protection.

Those who hate boxing, if there are any of those out there, will find
little support from the highly opinionated Pennsylvania Boxing
Commissioner, who pointed out when questioned by a recreation professor
from Temple in the audience, that boxing teaches discipline and has been
very useful in cities like Philadelphia for getting youths off of the
steet and away from crime.  It is also a sport that eliminates excuses for
poor performance, because one cannot point to someone else as the cause of
ones failures such as he threw the pass too high to catch it or he did not
block the player that tackled me.  In boxing it is just you and the opponent.

Well that just about raps up this message, have a great weekend all.


Sincerely,
David Dillard Research Librarian
