One of the real advantages of systems like Zotero, Endnote, and the like is that they break bibliographic information into fields and store them in a database. When it comes time to publish or generate a list, you can select from many known formats. I was going to say hundreds of different ones, but Zotero claims to know about thousands of styles (6,750) ( https://www.zotero.org/support/styles). Since Zotero is a project of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, and was initially funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, I assume they've given serious consideration to the library science underlying the chosen database structure. Oh, and as I try and keep up with the suggestions coming over frameworks, please know that I am not purely cutting-and-pasting them into the library, but searching for them in WorldCat.org, then importing, so that the Zotero library builds on the collections and work of many others. We get the ISBNs, page numbers, publishers, etc. for free. Eric ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] TONIGHT Jonas Mekas: 365 Day Project screening premiere launches w/ Part 1 January at Microscope in Brooklyn, 7pm
admission $6, Jonas Mekas in person Microscope is extremely pleased to announce the screening premiere of the complete “365 Day Project” by Jonas Mekas, a nearly 38-hour video project composed of 365 individual videos posted daily on his website in 2007. The work will be screened across twelve programs, one each month of 2015, with part one “January” launching the series on Friday January 30th. For “365″, as the project is more commonly known, Mekas challenged himself to make and upload a video on his website every day for an entire year. Despite the occasional technical or emotional close call, Mekas persevered capturing snowstorms, friendly birds and squirrels, historical news reports, gathering with friends and lots of music both at home in Brooklyn and during his travels abroad, at times repurposing or incorporating previously unseen footage from his earlier 16mm films or analog videos. Originally each of the videos, ranging from under 30 seconds to 30 minutes, were immediately made available for download and playable on smartphones at a time which was well before watching content in this manner was ordinary – Facebook had just been made publicly accessible and the first iPhone was released that same year. Highlights from *Part One (Days 1 – 31)* include original artworks and writings by Apollinaire, a visit to Louise Bourgeois on her 95th birthday, a tour of the Castle of the Marquis de Sade with Taylor Mead and Jerome Hill, a spontaneous music performance in the lobby of Anthology Film Archives with the artist Douglas Gordon, a day of the Epiphany parade in Brooklyn, a conversation with Susan Sontag and Bela Tarr, and Mekas listening to his radio at home among others. “Every day of the year 2007 I placed on my website one new video usually about three to ten minutes in length. By the time the project ended, I had made 38 hours of completed video works, the equivalent of twenty feature films… It was the most challenging undertaking I had ever done. The videos deal with my life in Brooklyn and my many travels of that year. It’s personal and anthropological (impersonal) at the same time. During my travels I relied a lot on technical and other help from The Gang (Benn Northover, Sebastian Mekas — I travel most of the time with the Gang) and Elle Burchill was always ready at my Brooklyn station. You’ll see a lot of me and my friends, various daily activities, gettings together, a lot of music, and a lot of events around New York and Europe that year. The main challenge was to record it and share it immediately with my many friends all over the world. Today I still do the same, but not daily, with less pressure, on my website www.jonasmekas.com http://jonasmekas.com/” - Jonas Mekas *Part One: “January” (Days 1-31)* by Jonas Mekas, video, 2007, 2 hours 55 minutes The “365 Day Project” has previously been presented in its complete form as an installation (playing on 12 or 52 monitors) at ZKM, Karlsruhe (Germany); Hermitage, St. Petersburg (Russia); galerie du jour, Paris (France) and 2B Gallery, Budapest, Hungary.

Re: [Frameworks] Books on the History of Avant-Garde film in US
It is time to toss this in for inclusion. My spitfire, irreverent, iconoclastic, somewhat distracted boss at Donnell Media Center took time off to finish her dissertation on Stan Brakhage, and produced this, which of course should be included in this bibliography. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/25304811?sid=21105748429503uid=3739776uid=3739256uid=2uid=4 Marie's quiet importance (not to her staff) in securing the history of experimental and avant garde film for the general public, which includes thousands of NYU and Columbia students, and just regular folk, is so far unrealized largely, along with so many others doing similar work, and allowing such work to be done, like NYSCA or ETC, which is something I am trying to change, organizing a multi-venue program to spotlight the little guys. Please, Eric, include Marie's dissertation.
