Item set

Title: "Booknotes" Oral History Project Collection #R0143
Description: As part of an established documentation strategy, the George Mason University Libraries has conducted oral history interviews with selected "Booknotes" authors and C-SPAN staff members about their experiences as part of the "Booknotes" series. These interviews give insight into the impact Booknotes had on the authors, on those who worked for C-SPAN, and the network's growth.
Authors were asked to describe the experience of appearing on the program, how it was different from other interview appearances, how it affected their carreer, and how it forged lasting relationships between an author and C-SPAN. C-SPAN staffers were asked questions about the inner workings of the program and Brian Lamb's methodology.
The thirty-five interviews were conducted in 2014 and 2015. These oral histories and abstracts of them are available for use here via this site.
Date: 2014-2015
