Re: [ha-Safran] EJ 2nd edition
I bought EJ2 when it first came out. It was a stretch for my very small donations only budget. Was it worth it? Probably not. Patrons haven't used the set extensively. Frequently we refer to EJ1 also especially for illustrative material. If you have a very active library, the purchase may make sense especially if you have online access also but for a small , not too busy library, save your money (until the deal is a real bargain), use the internet and the earlier edition.

Clearly a bargain over the list price. My question is to those of you who purchased this, especially synagogue libraries. Do you feel that it's been a worthwhile purchase? Would you recommend buying it?

I expressed my disappointment as a cataloger at the fact that the new cataloging code, RDA (Resource Description Access), clings to the Christianity-centric way of expressing time, i.e. BC and AD, instead of swapping to the religion-neutral BCE/CE. I was told that the RDA committee considered going that way but decided the BCE/CE practice was still not common enough to be adopted. I've lodged a complaint with RDA Toolkit Help. It seems high time to me to use terms that don't offend. Buzz Haughton bxhaugh...@ucdavis.edu Hello, Andrea! Sorry to correct you, but the C in CE/BCE does not stand for Christ or Christian, but rather Common, i.e. Before the Common Era (BCE) Common Era (CE) The terminology here is entirely religion-neutral, which is why I think RDA should make use of it. (My conspiratorial way of thinking inclines me to think that maybe some fundamentalist Christians said no, but of course I have no way of proving that. ;-)) Buzz Haughton bxhaugh...@ucdavis.edu __ 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.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
Re: [ha-Safran] Ce and BCE
Buzz, I know that the C in CE and BCE stands for the word common.My point is that the BCE terminology still dates from--what event? Thecommon era--let's face it--begins with whose (supposed) year of birth? So I don't think it's religion neutral at all; it's built around the birth of Jesus.
