...we can recommend them to meet undergraduate (and scholarly) requirements. Both discs load quickly and with no problems. In less then three minutes, we had them up and running....Famous American Speeches is also an attractive, solidly put together database....the database covers its selected ground thoroughly....The package also includes a study guide describing how to access speeches related to a particular area of study and a book of lessons prepared by Sharon Brubaker for use with students in grades 6 to 12....worth their price....Librarians should seriously consider Famous American Speeches as a backup to the reference collection that holds books of speeches and the well-maintained but seldom used vertical file....Famous American Speeches were slick, useful databases that can help fill the public/university library gap in full-text speeches and historical information. These databases are recommended without reservation for circulation or in-house library usage.
- Searcher

Ever felt speechless? Not there's no excuse: Famous American Speeches catalogs more than 300 speeches from 1850 to the present. You can search for a specific topic or scan the contents by topic, orator, or time period. Students and researchers will appreciate the scrollable text versions of speeches and the included option to save or print. But the video and audio clips are the main attraction here, and they will keep you flipping through the CD for more.
