Fisher, Kim N. On the Screen: A Film, Television, and Video Research Guide. Littleton, CO: Libraries Unlimited, 1986. Davis Ref., UL Ref. Z5784 .M9 F535 1986 Designed to introduce the user to the important English-language reference works in the fields of motion pictures and television, this well-organized work describes over 700 sources by type -- bibliographic guides; dictionaries and encyclopedias; indexes, abstracts, and databases; biographies; credits, film reviews and television programming; catalogs; directories and yearbooks; filmographies and videographies; bibliographies; handbooks and miscellaneous sources; core periodicals; research centers and archives; societies and associations. Concise and clearly written annotations provide excellent guidance through the wealth of available resources. Rehrauer, George. The Macmillan Film Bibliography. 2 vols. N.Y.: Macmillan, 1982. Davis Ref. Z5784 .M9 R423 1982 Considered "the most comprehensive English-language bibliography of motion picture literature" (On the Screen, p. 5), this work reviews nearly 7,000 books about film. Among the types covered are biographies, memoirs, critical studies, histories, reference works, and published scripts. The citations are critically and authoritatively annotated in clear and entertaining manner. The second volume is an extensive index to authors, films, personalities, and general subjects. Easy to use, this work serves as a valuable starting place for film research. Schuster, Mel. Motion Picture Directors: A Bibliography of Magazine and Periodical Articles, 1900-1972. Metuchen, N.J.: The Scarecrow Press, 1973. Davis Ref. Z5784 .M9 S34 This bibliography serves as a research guide to articles appearing in 340 English language magazines and periodicals from 1900 through October 1972. Both mainstream magazines and more specialized film journals are indexed; the articles cited, primarily biographical or career-oriented in nature, pertain to over 2,300 directors, filmmakers, and animators. Film reviews were excluded unless they were "expanded to include critical or analytical conclusions about the artists and/or work which might have research value beyond the review of a given work" (Introduction). While dated, this work is a good source for material published prior to the time period covered by many indexing tools.
