Extensive indexing, captioning, and other enhanced online features provide researchers, policy analysts, students, teachers, and public officials with an unparalleled chronological and internally cross-referenced record for deeper study.

Reviews

The value of the C-SPAN Video Library as an incredibly rich research resource shines through in the breadth of analysis and insight on display in this latest collection of studies in the Year in C-SPAN Archives Research series. The range of congressional, presidential, and procedural footage of American political life available in the library is simply unparalleled in its depth and scope. What researchers make of these archives, and the insights they continue to yield, is only limited by their collective imagination and analytical ingenuity. Series editor and archives maestro Robert X. Browning must be commended for his tireless efforts to make these materials accessible to the wider research community. --Erik P. Bucy, Marshall and Sharleen Formby Regents Professor of Strategic Communication, Texas Tech University, coauthor of Image Bite Politics: News and the Visual Framing of Elections For almost 25 years I have watched the C-SPAN Video Library evolve into the nonpareil of data on congressional institutional behavior. Most instructors of the legislative process have utilized the C-SPAN's material in the classroom with great success. Here, in this volume, Robert X. Browning once again demonstrates the myriad ways scholars can advance conventional wisdom on the U.S. Congress and institutions with the C-SPAN Video Library's seemingly unlimited data. Debates, hearings, and floor speeches are just a few fascinating resources that are brilliantly used in this volume. These research studies offer several exiting new directions for scholars to consider in the future. --Jonathan S. Morris, Department of Political Science, East Carolina University
