RE: [ha-Safran]: A few questions
Don't give away the Jewish Encyclopedia -- it's a wonderful resource! It is now available online - www.Jewishencyclopedia.com , but, when you have time, take a look at the hard copy version. A lot of EJ was based on it; it's physically, quite lovely; and, as you'll see, it's a wonderful resource. I don't know much about Universal Encycl -- I believe it came in between JE and EJ. That may be the one to discard (give away) -- but, I'm sure other safranim will chime in on this question. _ Ann Abrams, Librarian Temple Israel 477 Longwood Avenue Boston, MA 02215 617-566-3960 Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the 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]: A few questions
I can't speak to the question of retaining the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, having never used it, but I would very much encourage you to retain the Jewish Encyclopedia in addition to the Encyclopedia Judaica. The Jewish Encyclpedia still has many fine articles in it, especially those on rabbinical topics by Wilhelm Bacher. Though I can't give examples, I have sometimes found individuals listed in the JE who were not to be found in the EJ.
