Blinkx is the best! It contains Youtube but also has other video sources. My search was for gentoo penguin (there is a great clip of a gentoo escaping from a pod of orca into an occupied inflatable boat) both sites featured this clip. Youtube had two versions of different lengths.
Blinkx had 'live' thumbnails and more hits matching my serch. Youtube produced clips of other penguin species and diverged into clips of other polar animals doing 'cute' stuff. Irrelevant! Both gave duration and indicated time elapsed. Blinkx showed the clips in reverse date order.
Magazines on Google book search would be good for students looking for contemporary secondary sources of an event or a person from years ago. (As long as they were american!) It is different from magazine indexes in that you choose the title first, not the topic. It is more historical, and the whole content of the magazine issue is displayed.
