Jenkins On Your Desktop: NPR Podcasts on General OneFile
General OneFile has access to NPR Podcasts going back to 2008. General OneFile has eight different NPR titles: Business Story of the Day, Economy, Environment, Food, In Character, Kitchen Window, Special Coverage, and The Color of Money. Podcasts will download in an mp3 format.
To access this collection, use your last name and member number to log into Jenkins' website. From either the Member Center or the list of Member Databases, select General OneFile. To browse podcasts by specific NPR file, from the gold menu bar in General OneFile select Publication Search. Search for NPR - make sure to un-check the "documents with full text" and "peer-reviewed publications" selections. This browse method is useful if you already know the date and file of the NPR podcast you are looking for.
To search all the NPR Podcasts, select Advanced Search from the gold menu bar. Enter your keyword(s) into the first search box. In the second search box, enter NPR and change the drop-down menu to Publication Title. Make sure to un-check the "documents with full text" and "peer-reviewed publications" selections. A date restriction can also be added.
For large search results, it may be helpful to "Search within results", located on the left-hand side of the search results list. Other post-search limiters include subject, publication title, and date.
General OneFile is a membership resource available to all Jenkins members.
