[ha-Safran]: Sifria Bnai Torah (Kest-Leibowitz Library) Closing Sale
The Kest-Leibowitz Library was founded in Jerusalem 15 years by Rav Yehuda Leibowitz as an expression of his tremendous Ahavat Sefer (love of Jewish books). In this short period he reprinted more than 1000 rare books and many original works in inexpensive hardcover or pocket editions. Not only did he revive many important and classic works in Jewish scholarship but he also made these available at cost price to the general public. Rav Yehuda Z'l passed away three years ago and sadly there is no one to continue his lifework. A portion of the very large stock of tens of thousands of volumes was sold this month at a public sale in Jerusalem and the remaining stock will be liquidated shortly. This is the LAST CHANCE to buy these special books at these low prices ! http://www.virtualgeula.com/kestwww.virtualgeula.com/kest A minimum order is 100 shekels for all orders.

[ha-Safran]: Requesting book recommendation
I am in search of a text on the subject of Interfaith Marriage and Assimilation. The book is to be added to our shul library in memory of a Board member's late wife. The subject of Jews marrying 'outside the faith' had been a very big concern to her. Our shul is traditional. I would appreciate any recommendations.

[ha-Safran]: Indexing Course
--- Message requiring your approval -- From: Joanne Heiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ha-Safran]: Indexing Course St. Johns University - Division of Library and Information Science 8000 Utopia Parkway; Queens, NY 11439; Tel.: (718) 990-6200; Fax: (718) 990-2071 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.stjohns.edu LIS 308 Book Index Structures: In Print and on the Web Summer Session 2, 2006: Thursday and Friday, July 6 7, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Manhattan Campus, 101 Murray St., New York, NY 10007 (718) 990-6161 Course Description Introduces the preparation of book indexes, covering concepts of indexable matter, structure of index entries, cross references, filing, format, and indexer-publisher relations. Many of these concepts are applicable to the indexing of electronic resources, including Web sites. Both manual and computer-assisted techniques are discussed. Prerequisite: LIS 204 or LIS 203. One graduate credit. Objectives Students will develop a working understanding of: - the principles of book indexing - the criteria for evaluation of book indexes - the effect of various index formats and cross-reference structures on the usability of indexes - the advantages of alphabetico-specific indexes to individual Web sites over taxonomies and keyword search capabilities. Credit The course may be taken either for one graduate credit at regular tuition rates or for 15 hours of Professional Development Credit for $282. Professor The course will be taught by Dr. Bella Hass Weinberg, a Past President of the American Society of Indexers, former Chair of its Indexer Education Committee, and the 1998 recipient of its Hines Award for distinguished service to the profession. Dr. Weinberg has compiled several highly praised book indexes and consults on the design of large-scale indexing and thesaurus projects. She has reviewed national and international standards related to indexing and has published extensively on indexing theory. Her thorough knowledge of the literature is reflected in her anthology, Can You Recommend a Good Book on Indexing?: Collected Reviews on the Organization of Information (Information Today, 1998). Dr. Weinberg also teaches information architecture and consults on the interfaces to bibliographic databases and thesauri.
