Box of Broadcasts (BoB)

We have recently subscribe to the Box of Broadcasts resource or BoB for short, an off-air recording and media archive service. It has a TV scheduling service that allows users to record TV and radio programmes to be broadcast as well as retrieving programmes from a selected list of channels. Once programmes are recorded they can be streamed in flash and accessed online.


The archive currently offers over 45,000 TV and radio programmes covering all genres, with an archive of recorded programmes available indefinitely to users. Other features include the ability to create clips and playlists and then share with others.

You can access BoB via Library Search by typing the title into the Book, journals and more tab and then clicking on the link, you will be able to access off site in the UK using the institutional login.
