Are you looking for books/courses on media librarianship, or film
studies?
A recommendation re: media librarianship:
* Video Collection Development in Multi-type Libraries : A
Handbook--Second Edition (Libraries Unlimited Library Management
Collection) by Gary Handman (Editor)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0313316589/qid=1110230298/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5706647-2130238?v=glance&s=books
My two standbys when it comes to film studies are:
* The Oxford History of World Cinema by Geoffrey Nowell-Smith (Editor)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0198742428/qid=1110230051/sr=8-2/ref=pd_ka_1/103-5706647-2130238?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
Due for an update, but a great text for bringing yourself up to speed on a
particular national cinema / genre / movement.
and
* The Film Encyclopedia: The Most Comprehensive Encyclopedia of World
Cinema in a Single Volume (Film Encyclopedia, 4th ed)
by Ephraim Katz, Fred Klein, Ronald Dean Nolen
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0062737554/qid=1110230175/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5706647-2130238?v=glance&s=books
A great tool for ready reference / filmographies / etc. Also, lots of fun
to browse.
Good luck!
