Colleagues, The AJL Cataloging Committee seeks feedback on the Jewish law genre/form document available on the AJL Cataloging wiki. Click on "Cataloging" and then "Genre/Form Headings for Jewish Law." Jasmin Nof has created a separate column on the far right side of the document called "AJL Notes, Comments, and Questions" in which you can enter your feedback. Please also note the discussion on the Proposed Rabbinical Literature Hierarchy that follows the table itself. These terms are particularly important as we consider the Judaism genre/form terms for the upcoming project on Religion genre/form headings. If you have comments on this section of the document, please use the "Add a Comment" box at the bottom of the site. Please aim to have your comments completed by the end of October. The AJL cataloging committee will take all comments into consideration as we prepare an AJL response to the AALL sub-committee on genre/form headings headed by Yael Mandelstam (Fordham University).
Below are Jasmin's directions on navigating the wiki posted on Heb-NACO (07/12/2010). Special thanks to Jasmin for all of her excellent work on the cataloging wiki. Many thanks in advance for your feedback on this project! חג שמח! Best wishes, Aaron T. ============================================================================================= As promised at our Cataloging Committee meeting: The AJL Cataloging Wiki page is located at http://rascat.pbworks.com/. Everyone is able to view the page. People who would like to make changes to the wiki need to: 1. Contact me so I can add them to the list of users, either via email or via the wiki itself by clicking the "Request access" button on the right of the login screen; 2. Once added as a user, log in using your email address and [cleveland08] (just the word, no brackets) as the password; 3. Edit your profile to change your password and add any other info you'd like. You will continue to log in using your email address, though as long as you do not log out, you will remain signed in. All Cataloging Committee members have been added and their permissions set at "Editor," allowing them to do almost anything on the wiki (tread lightly, people!). (Committee members who have not yet visited the wiki, though, still need to log in using the cleveland08 password and then change it.) Everyone else who requests access will have your permissions set at "Writer," allowing you to view and edit pages, folders, and files. (See the chart at http://usermanual.pbworks.com/Educational-and-Basic-Edition-Users#HowdoIchecktoseewhatuserscanseewhichpages for more information.) If you'd like your permission upgraded (to allow you to do more) or downgraded (to prevent you from making changes that you'd regret), just contact me. I look forward to having more company on the wiki! Please let me know if I missed something in these instructions. As always, if you have any questions about using the wiki and/or making changes to it, please don't hesitate to contact me. :-) Hodesh tov, Jasmin
