Re: [ha-Safran]: Question for Day School Librarians
We do not charge fines either. We do charge a flat fee for lost books---$25. The lost book fine is due by June. If not paid, it is added onto the students school fees for the following year!

RE: [ha-Safran]: al- in a day's work
I have received a bunch of responses to my query about the Al in Al Qaeda stating that a name that begins with an article is treated differently in different circumstances. If the name is being used in its native context, then the article is ignored when indexing. If the name is being used in a foreign context such as English, the article very well may become part of the name as a whole in the common usage. In further discussion about this, my coworker came up with another example of this phenomenon in records about the weather system El Nino, where the El has become part of the name. Incidentally, there is an LCRI that deals with this, I just wasn't looking hard enough: 21.30J. Titles Retain initial articles and record an appropriate value in the non-filing indicator (indicator position 2). Use value 0 when an article is to be filed on as follows: a) the title begins with an article that appears as part of a personal, geographic, or corporate name and is retained in such a name according to LCRI 22.4, LCRI 23.2, or AACR2 rule 24.5A; b) the title begins with an article in a situation in which meaning and cataloger's judgment require its retention, e.g., such titles as The as an introductory element of generic nouns El Cid in literary criticism of the 20th century Steven +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Steven Bernstein Assistant Catalog Librarian Central Connecticut State University 1615 Stanley Street New Britain, Connecticut 06050 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ PHONE: (860) 832-2079 FAX: (860) 832-3409 E-MAIL: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org

Re: [ha-Safran]: 1972 Encyclopaedia Judaica: to keep or to withdraw?
Henry Hollander is right about errors. For instance, they couldn't even get the index comprehensive - in these days of computers! They have often, quite legitimately, retained an article from the 1972 edition , but had someone revise it, and at the bottom attributed it to both the original author, as well as the reviser, thus: [A.Cohen/B.Levy (2nd ed)]. It's therefore unclear whose views are being expressed at any particular point. This is a careless thing to do. I know of a case where the reviser's views were inserted within the text written by the 1972 author's views, yet which were diametrically opposed to those of the 1972 author! Who could tell, unless he/she knew the subject? Production is not as handsome as the 1972 edition. Also, no pictures (except centerfold). Good reasons to retain the old edition.

[ha-Safran]: Encyclopaedia Judaica 1st edition for cost of shipping
Hello everyone, It seems that most folks have a lot more space on their library shelves than we do here. I cannot keep the EJ first edition due to lack of space. If your library would like to have it for the cost of shipping (please no book dealers) contact me off the list. My Rabbi would prefer to help out a struggling synagogue library that really needs itÂ…to get going on creating a library collection for their congregation. Email me with a paragraph about how it would help, so I can show it to the Rabbi.
