I heard that the City Arts & Lectures program archive is available through the Library. How do I access it?
Answer
As mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle, the UC Berkeley Library has created an online archive of City Arts & Lectures. Under revised terms of our license agreement, only current Cal students, faculty, and staff members can access them.
To call up a list of the programs, go to UC Library Search and search: "city arts and lectures". Click on the title of a program, then look for the link labeled "Restricted to UCB". Clicking on this link should start the program using RealPlayer software. Cal students, faculty, and staff wishing to listen to these programs using off-campus computers should have either the Virtual Private Network (VPN) software or the proxy server setting active. For more information on these options, see connect from off-campus.
For visitors to the campus libraries without CalNet credentials, please access the City Arts & Lectures audio from any public research computer.
