On the general end I like the good Maltin Guide. Should give them a few things to choose from. I also like genre specific books, my favorite by far is the Silver & Ward Film Noir book.

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.
