C-SPAN Turns to Verity to Enhance its Booknotes.org Web site
Students, Journalists and Fans of the Booknotes TV Program now have Easy, Instant Access to Transcripts and Content from Hundreds of Interviews
Sunnyvale, CA - 2002-04-02 - Verity, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRTY) today announced that C-SPAN has become its latest high-profile customer, adding Verity K2 Enterprise software to its popular Booknotes.org Web site, providing ease-of-use and accessibility enhancements including advanced search, categorization and personalization. Verity is a leading provider of infrastructure software that powers enterprise and e-commerce portals as well as e-business applications.
Booknotes.org offers over 600 transcripts of interviews with non-fiction book authors, as originally shown on the Booknotes television program. Booknotes can be seen Sunday nights at 8pm ET/PT on C-SPAN, the cable industry's public affairs network. The Booknotes interviews, which date back to 1989, have included well-known figures such as Colin Powell, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Neil Sheehan, Martin Gilbert, Jean Strouse, Betty Friedan and Henry Louis Gates.
"Booknotes.org has been an invaluable resource for students or journalists needing data on particular topics or authors, as well as for book lovers and enthusiasts," said Chris Long, C-SPAN's New Media Director. "However, as the sheer quantity of data on the site has accumulated, it has become difficult to track down specific transcripts. Verity's years of experience helping major corporations improve the navigability and accessibility of their online presence was a major factor in our decision to choose Verity."
With the new Verity functionality, Booknotes.org users will have the ability to search by author, title or keyword. In addition, the advanced search page will let users search by "sounds like" or "spells like" words, making it easy to find information on hard-to spell authors or subjects. Users can also narrow a search to specific date ranges and search on over a dozen pre-selected categories including American presidents, public policy and media & communications.
C-SPAN expects the addition of Verity technology to be of particular benefit to the primary and secondary educational community. For example, teachers and professors can use the advanced search and classification capabilities to develop lesson plans, while students can search across transcripts to uncover various authors' viewpoints on historical figures as televised on Booknotes interviews.
"The enhancements made possible by our Verity K2 Enterprise technology will bring further enjoyment and utility to fans of the Booknotes TV program and Web site," said Verity's Vice President of Marketing Mike Zuckerman. "The powerful features of Verity's software, including its ability to categorize data, as well as its flexibility to customize the way results are displayed to users, will be particularly beneficial to C-SPAN."
