Re: [ha-Safran] National Library of Israel z39.50

[Yakov Shafranovich]

You can use the Israeli Union List:

http://libnet.ac.il/~libnet/z39.htm

There used to be a way to access NLI itself but it hasn't worked for a while.

Re: [ha-Safran] FW: Israeli copyright for out of print books in an educational setting?

[Yakov Shafranovich]

I would also add that in cases where a book is published in both US
and Israel, US law may take precedence which would make things even
more complex.

Re: [ha-Safran] Bookless libraries - to Henry

[Yakov Shafranovich]

They most certainly can. There was a big brouhaa a while back when Amazon
pulled back a copy of "1984" by George Orwell when it turned out that the
version they were selling did not have copyright authorization. Now, their
approach is to notify you first when they are changing or updating a book,
but nothing stops them from doing that again.

There is also a case where a woman on Norway lost all access to her Amazon
account and all of her Kindle books when her account was locked.

There are some providers but the market is fragmented:

Re: [ha-Safran] Index on contemporary Talmud scholarship?

[Yakov Shafranovich]

You can check RAMBI. Another possibility would be to check the Israel
National Library by subject, where they have many subjects linked to a
particular mesechta.

Re: [ha-Safran] hebrew e-books

[Yakov Shafranovich]

iPad has Hebrew support built in, it just needs to be enabled by going
into settings, personalization.

Regarding the iBooks store, I am not personally familiar with it, so I
don't know if it supports Hebrew.

Amazon Kindle format currently does not support Hebrew so you would
need to install another application. I would recommend at the minimum
to install the free Adobe Acrobat which would let them view PDFs from
sites like www.hebrewbooks.org, books.google.com and www.archive.org.

I think we are talking about a Union catalog.

There are two smaller efforts right now, one is at the National
Library of Israel with their ULI catalog which includes most Israeli
libraries and several major Judaica libraries outside of Israel:

http://libnet.ac.il/~libnet/uli/

The second is Avi Chai's school union catalog here:

http://avichai.calypso.scoolaid.net/bin/home

I think that Avi Chai's effort is probably the best example.

Re: [ha-Safran] Mixed Latin and Hebrew characters not displaying correctly

Unfortunately we have seen similar situations in the past, it seems
that the BiDi algorithms are not always followed 100% in respect to
numbers.

Re: [ha-Safran] outstanding video cassette collection - for sale?forconversion?

[Yakov Shafranovich]

There are exceptions in the copyright law for libraries that want to
preserve materials so if there is a fear that the tapes wont last you maybe
able to convert them.
