[ha-Safran]: New library

[Diane Eidelman]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your responses on where to begin.  It is strange trying to 
plan a library with a committee of nonlibrarians.  Is there anyone 
out there that has a small library (4000 volumes or less) with no 
real cataloging records?  Has anyone just tried Excel or Access and 
been successful in keeping a basic shelf list and location?  Money is 
an issue.  I’m sure it is with many of you.  But I want to do the right thing.

Thank you again.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia Judaica run time error

[Heather Rolen]

Thanks Dan.  I had seen this fix online.  Unfortunately, we provide EJ for
our students here and are not able to run this set of commands every time a
student wants access to EJ.  Changing the memory allocation affects too many
of our other databases.  If any one knows of another work around, I'd love
to know about it.

Thank you,
Heather

Re: [ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia Judaica run time error

[Dan Wyman]

Heather--

We ran into this as well; this issue is that the old EJ can't run on 
computers that have TOO MUCH (!) memory. We came up with this 
(somewhat complicated) fix:

1. go to RUN on the "start" menu.

2. type in (in capital letters): MSCONFIG

3. click OK.

4. click on the tab "BOOT.INI"

5. under that menu, click on 'advanced options'

6. it'll bring up a little menu. you'll see a number of boxes. click 
the first one MAXMEM. that should pop up a number in the little box 
to the right. if this number is higher than 512, you are going to 
have problems running the program (this is because the EJ is old and 
for some reason cannot run on computers configured with TOO MUCH memory).

7. delete whatever number you have there and instead type in 512. 
leave the box clicked.

8. hit OK or CHANGE until you get out of the menus.

9. it will prompt you to restart your computer so that the new memory 
number can go into effect. do this.

10. when your computer comes on again, it'll notify you that you've 
changed your memory setting. ignore that. use EJ and it should work fine.

11. important: when you are done with EJ, you'll have to set your 
computer back to its regular memory setting so that your computer 
runs smoothly. to do this, you go and do all of the above steps. when 
you get to step 9, type in your regular memory (mine is 1024) and 
then UNCLICK the box. then you will be prompted to restart your 
computer, etc etc..you'll get the message about having reconfigured 
your memory. check and make sure you're running at your max again.
unfortunately you have to do this each time you use EJ because it's 
such an old program.

Best of luck & Chag Sameach,

Dan

all, that’s our business:

This biography is the first ever for young readers on the inspiring

Re: [ha-Safran]: High Holiday Services

[Dina Tanners]

Those are all good suggestions.

Some more include:

1)  Tekiyah from CraignCo

2)  The high holidays at B'nai Yeshurun synagogue, a conservative 
synagogue in NY

3)  URJ has a High Holiday CD with children's voices

I work in a Judaica store (when I am not volunteering with local 
Judaica librariers) and we give all libraries 10% off cost on books 
and CDs.  Simon at Hatikvah is a great source too.  Some of our items 
are on our website:
