Scope Note:

Nonfiction work designed to impart skills or techniques to general audiences, typically in a "how-to" manner. Note: Not necessary to also use Documentary, since that is implied by the term Instructional. For instructional work used within the military, industry, or trades, use Training. If a work is predominantly informative rather than instructional in its emphasis, use Educational.

TV examples: THE FRENCH CHEF; FRUGAL GOURMET; JULIA CHILD & COMPANY; THIS OLD HOUSE. Video examples: JANE FONDA'S WORKOUT; RIDE A HORSE.
