Actually the proposal for Judeo-German is to remove it as a cross-reference to German in the MARC Code for languages. Currently two inaccurate references exist under the subject heading :Yiddish language": German Hebrew and Judeo-German language (I am not going to deal with the cross-refernce Jewish language here). Recommendations to remove these two cross-references can be made by using the
LCSH Authority Record Change Proposal Form found at the SACO website.
I hope that one of us will do this after we see what happens at the meeting.
That is a good question re Maher's book. Certainly a web-based version would be nice but I doubt if one exists at this time. I think that even more than a web-based version, we are waiting for an official updated version (print or electronic).

Heidi and Heb-NACOers,
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend AJL this year so I hope you don't mind my input via the list.
If Daniel is successful at getting Judeo-German removed from the subject authority record under Yiddish then will he be proposing a new SACO for Judeo-German (that can get hastened along through CPSO)? If so then Judeo-German should remain on the Yiddish record but changed to a 550. It seems counter-productive to remove it altogether.
In case anyone cares, I vote yes on adding Kuntres, etc. to the Sefer rule.
Will Maher's Hebraica Cataloging be available in the web version of Cataloger's Desktop? I didn't see it in the beta version. If it is available in the production version then maybe it could be updated on a regular basis without too much fuss. Or, even better, maybe it could be made freely available through the Hebraica Funnel website or the PCC website?
