Shalom, Having on the website a list with with the library type (for example: day school or synagogue) and cataloging system like Elazar, Dweyev, Library of Congress will be very helpful to a librarian, library volunteer or new librarian when s/he is debating on the right number and subjects, not to mention other info. I’m glad that Sean volunteered to create such a list (please see below). This is what peer support means. It is one of AJL’s missions. Amalia Warshenbrot, past AJL president
