We can always use pointers to good sources of information, so let me pass on some of mine to you.
Magazine: Computer Videomaker
Covers camcorders, computers, tools and techniques for creating video.
If your library isn't getting this already, beg for it. It's good for beginners and pros alike. Be careful: this one will "walk" if you don't watch it. Contact: Phone: ; Fax: ; Web www.videomaker.com
Book: Adobe Classroom in a Book
Series of hands-on software training workbooks for Adobe products; includes CD. If you use Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator or just about any Adobe product, these books will allow you to learn their products at your own pace. My interns really liked the Premiere version.
