I completed the presentation on film treatment of children's literature
yesterday.
Thank you for all the input members of this list provided in helping me prepare.
During the presentation I referred to points from specific articles or books
I'd read in preparation, and prepared a reference list of those sources. The
instructor shared that list with the students not as a requirement, but for
additional information if they are so inclined.
I thought members of this list might like to see the references too. Included
below, with an indented note on nature of the work.
Students in the course are to read a children's book and view the film
version/adaptation and write a short paper analyzing/comparing the film
treatment.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
