Sorry, replace some mentions of Parts with Volumes - it's all very
confusing!

 Hello,

 I noticed a few Maya Deren books in this excellent compiled list (of which

 made me think - were the remaining two volumes of VèVè Clark, Millicent
 Hodson and Catrina Neiman's three volume biography and collected works 'The
 Legend Of Maya Deren' (published by Anthology Film Archives) ever released?

 Part Two of Volume I was published in 1988 and though it mentions the
 other two forthcoming parts on the dustjacket, I can't seem to find mention
 of them on websites like Amazon. I did a quick google search and a
 bookseller's website said Part Two was due to be published in 1997 and the
 third volume was completed but not yet in production. I also read
 that VèVè Clark sadly died in 2007. Can anyone offer any more information
 on these remaining volumes? Did the project collapse along with Film
 Culture in 1996?

 Thanks,

snip.

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.

There are multiple other collections of writings, if these are being
included, but do those fit the initial question?  Just last year was also
Lambert, Andrew, ed. The George Kuchar Reader, by George Kuchar (Primary
Information, 2014)

Off to meandering nit-picking:

What is the correct bibliography format for a reader?  Shouldn¹t it still
really be under Kuchar¹s name (or Markopolous¹s)?  Been too long since
college  MLA Standards...
Looking it up...
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/06/

A Work Prepared by an Editor
Cite the book as you normally would, but add the editor after the title.
Bronte, Charlotte. Jane Eyre. Ed. Margaret Smith. Oxford: Oxford UP, 1998.
Print.

So:
Kuchar, George.  The George Kuchar Reader.  Ed. Andrew Lampert. Primary
Information, 2014
Markopoulos, Gregory. Film as Film, The Collected Writings of Gregory
Markopoulos. Ed. Mark Webber.  Foreward by P. Adams Sitney.  The Visible
Press, 2014.

Whatever happened to alphabetizing by last name of author?  Zotero also has
the nice touch of alphabetizing by title and author, if you select the
columns.

It looks like Michael has assembled his by publication date.
But returning to Michael¹s compiled list, adding the two above for now, and
similar for Deren  Brakhage  Frampton, and a few more, including the book
coming in a couple of months.  But this adds readers, analysis of specific
films, etc.  Retaining Michaels¹ date order. (I started changing it to be
last name, first name, but then stopped).

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.

This is a great resource, especially since Millennium Film Journal No. 62,
to be published next October, will be devoted to book reviews. We already
have commitments from about eight authors writing about recent books, but
I'd be happy to consider more proposals. Deadline for 1st drafts is early
June.

While I'm here, I should remind Frameworkers that the MFJ price increase
will kick in early next week: to beat the increase, please get your orders
and subscription renewals to us by Sunday Feb 1st.

Information and orders: mfj-online.org

 organize, cite, and share your research sources.

 When I was in grad school, Endnote was a popular, for-pay software
 package that served a similar function. Zotero's free, it displays over
 the web, and it integrates with open source software such as Libre Office
 and Open Office as well as Microsoft Word. It also hooks into WorldCat or
 other online library catalogs so that you should be able to get a list of
 nearby libraries that carry resources you're interested in.

 If you'd like to help build this bibliography, email me (off list) and
 I'll
 add you to the group. It'd be nice to grow this, and start, oh, tagging
 books and articles with the names of filmmakers given significant
 treatment.

 P.S. Using Zotero uncovers a couple of typos.


 Sheldan should be Sheldon, Turin should be Turim, Parker Tyler's
 The Underground Film was not published in 1698, and Exhibiting art in
 contemporary cinema should be Exhibiting cinema in contemporary art.

I want to thank Michael for kicking off this discussion, and for posting
his list before asking for others to contribute; good form!

I've suggested this before, but I'm putting my suggestion into action with
this thread. I've created a shared bibliography using Zotero:

What is Zotero?

Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect,
organize, cite, and share your research sources.

that served a similar function. Zotero's free, it displays over the web,
and it integrates with open source software such as Libre Office and Open
