How do I search for talks in a collection?
Click on the Home button in the menu bar to navigate to the Search page. Enter text in the Search box to find results where those words appear anywhere in Title, Summary, Notes, etc. from a Talk.
You can also select options from the dropdown filters for Speaker, Location, Keywords, etc.
Multiple filters may be applied to narrow down your search even further.
How do I edit a talk's info?
Information on editing talks is available in our Editing Guide.
Why do some talks say (AI Title) after Title?
These AI titles are generated automatically, when there is no official title for the talk yet. These recordings often come from tapes with handwritten labels, and sometimes information like the Title, Speaker, and Date, which could be hard to decipher from the photos of the tape.
If you see a Talk that is missing information and you can provide it, please click the Edit button on the Talk page (provide screenshot here which circles the button). Learn more in the Editing Guide.
When listening, how can I skip ahead or back?
Clicking anywhere on the progress bar while audio is playing will let you navigate to various parts of the talk.
Can I share a link to a specific talk?
Of course! You can share any public talk by simply copying the URL from the top of your browser window. Keep in mind that sharing private or unpublished talks would require visitors to log-in for access, and would only be available and shareable within your collection.
Can I share private talks with friends outside my collection?
Since unpublished talks are only available to collection members by permission of the author, please don’t give your login or password to anyone else. If a fellow collection member would like to join, encourage them to Create an Account.
