Shalom all, I would like to bring to your attention the availability of two free databases of educational materials, some of them pertaining to Jewish Studies.
1. JSTOR announced that it is making journal content published prior to 1923 in the United States and prior to 1870 elsewhere freely available to anyone, anywhere in the world. This "Early Journal Content" covers nearly 500,000 articles from more than 200 journals in many disciplines. See announcement: http://about.jstor.org/participate-jstor/individuals/early-journal-content. 2. Project MAOR, the Israeli counterpart of MERLOT <http://www.merlot.org/merlot/index.htm> was established by the Israeli Internet Association, the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Inter-University Computation Center. It is "a national repository of information (meta-data) on online learning objects. Every day, educational and academic institutions - universities, colleges, schools and other organizations - generate new content to support education, teaching and learning, research and evaluation." Project MAOR offers advanced search options, and materials are available in different disciplines, including Jewish Studies <http://maor.iucc.ac.il/materials.php?category=522942> .
