Easy as pie

There is that colloquilism- "easy as pie" - meaning doing something isn't very difficult- though there are those who would say making a pie is extremely complicated and simple to do incorrectly. I digress.

I enjoy listening to NPR in the morning. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my drive to work isn't quite long enough to hear the entire Morning Edition. I used to find the transcripts in Lexis Nexis by searching from the first page.

With the new LexisNexis Academic I couldn't find the NPR transcripts at all. However - the LexisNexis wiki had tips on finding the CNN transcripts. I thought- "bling" - if CNN is there - surely NPR is too.

Yes, the NPR transcripts are in Lexis Nexis.

Here are the steps (not quite as easy as pie):
GALILEO
...Databases A-Z, Jump to L
.....LexisNexis
........Select the Tab Sources (don't get sucked in by the bottom box with News Wire Services- that doesn't seem to quite do it)
1. Publication type button clicked
2. Country - United States
3. News folder
....3a. News transcripts
.......3a.b.Scroll down - National Public Radio

Click on OK continue (red rectangle upper right side)
at the Search box - type in the program name
Specify date - takes a few hours to get the current days transcripts up
The articles appear!

It could be harder to do........

NMTC patrons are able to access Lexis Nexis off campus through GALILEO. The password to use GALILEO at home is available from your Georgia librarian.
