TV and Video Resources
The Dartmouth campus DarTV carries two German stations: Deutsche Welle and, for more popular fare, Pro7Sat1world.
In the iTunes Music Store, a search on “ZDF” produces everything from audio and video “Nachrichten” to “Der Krimi Podcast” to children’s “Podcast der Logo.” They are about 30 minutes each and are updated every day.
Two other valuable sites for downloadable and streaming media: tagesschau.de and dradio.de.
Library Resources
The German Studies Web for the Association of College and Research Libraries provides access to selected scholarly resources in German Studies and to a wide variety of links of interest to students of German, including a convenient listing of German-language news sources on the web.
The Dartmouth College Library has a library catalog and selected databases for German Studies as well as traditional reference books in the Baker/Berry reference room.
