RE: Subject heading: Orthodox Jews
It seems to me that the heading --- Judaism is fine when it comes to such topics as theology or ideology. But in the case of headings that deal directly with persons, it is a little awkward. I cataloged a book about job training of Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Judaism -- Employment? Orthodox Judaism -- Training of? That's where we need the headings for the persons as opposed to the type of Judaism. Marlene Schiffman -Original Message- From: owner-heb-n...@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu [mailto:owner-heb-n...@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu] On Behalf Of Lenore Bell Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 6:27 PM To: heb-naco@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Subject: Re: Subject heading: Orthodox Jews Dear Yossi and friends, We received a similar question from another HebNACO colleague recently. In many instances, it seems, it was not deemed practicable to have separate headings for a particular sect/denomination and for its members/adherents. Applying a single heading for works on a particular sect precluded the need to make the often fine determination as to whether a work was about the sect or the adherents, or both. We would have to consult further with PSD to learn more about the origin of this practice, and clearly there are many instances in LCSH in which there are parallel/paired headings for both sect and adherents. In some cases, LC has used the class of persons formula for representing a sect, e.g., Karaites, Baptists, Hanafites, Ultra-Orthodox Jews. In other cases, the heading names the denomination, e.g., Reform Judaism, Orthodox Judaism. The choice of the terminology is based on the evaluation of reference sources. In some instances, a scope note indicates explicitly that the heading is used to represent both the sect and its members, (cf., Karaites, sh 85071589, Here are entered works on the Jewish sect known as Karaites and works on its adherents as a class of persons...) SHM H 1185 on Religions covers headings for sects and denominations, and allows for the assignment of the subdivisions listed on a free-floating basis regardless as to whether the heading appears as the form of the name of the sect or as the class of persons for the adherents. However, the subdivisions authorized for free-floating assignment per SHM H 1100, are only applicable to Class of persons headings. Hence the question, why not establish Orthodox Jews in addition to Orthodox Judaism? Before doing so, we will need to look further into this question of whether it is practicable to have a pair of headings for each denomination and its corresponding adherents. I hope that this background info is helpful.

RE: RAS Cataloging Committee meeting at convention
I'm not sure we have extra time. My recollection is that the meeting always runs overtime.

In fact, we are meeting 9pm Sunday and 9:30pm Monday this year. When I realized this a few weeks ago (thank you, Heidi), I tried to change the time back to its normal slot but it was too late. Not sure why the change was made in the first place, but I'll try to get our old slot back for next year. I'll send out a preliminary agenda for the meeting shortly, and invite you and others to make comments and/or suggestions.

RE: AJL 2007 call for speakers
I don't know if there is any room on the program as of now, but there ought to be a session on evaluation of the new Encyclopedia Judaica, 2nd edition. MRS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yossi Galron Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 12:35 AM To: heb-naco@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Subject: Re: AJL 2007 call for speakers Daniel, I am ready to do it: I am getting every day more and more angry and frustrated from LC's policy (or no policy) of adding Hebrew script to bibliographic records. I will write an official memo to LC with copies to the AJL Cataloging Committee regarding LC practice ahead of time, so that we will have a basis for discussion. I call for uniformity and common sense in Hebrew script cataloging. I tried to do it last summer in Boston, but I don't think I succeeded.

While topics dealing with Romanization and Hebrew grammar are particularly welcome this year, I'd like to know about any cataloging-related topics on your mind. Also: I'm gathering my notes from last month's ALA meeting so I can send you an update on RDA, etc. More on this soon. Daniel
Re: months
We should get people to submit their months to some central location, and some people at this central location would keep compiling the list until it is a list like the Princeton romanization list, and then we can put it on the web. MRS At 04:08 PM 9/23/2005, you wrote: Colleagues, I have a terrible time sometimes remembering what month it is. I mean, when the author describes it as hodesh she-nitnah bo Torah or hodesh ha-rahamim. There are one or two other expressions too, which I can't remember now. Will someone please explain to me once and for all which months these expressions refer to? I believe it might be nice to post that list somewhere, too, for future reference. Grateful in D.C., Joan
Re: adding Hebrew to bib records
Our policy is never to go back. We have enough to deal with going forward. MRS At 02:17 PM 7/26/2005, you wrote: Hello fellow catalogers, Here at Maryland we've just migrated to Connexion 1.4. Now having the ability to input Hebrew, I'm faced with the decision of whether to add Hebrew to all records that lack the vernacular, or only to original records I contribute. What are you other catalogers doing? If you're an RLIN user, when Hebrew became available, did your library start adding Hebrew to all records, or only to new records you were submitting?

Re: [ALA-CCDA:4881] responses to 5JSC/Chair/5, specialrules in Chapter 21
I agree with Steven. If you're going to transcribe the chronogram,it will be pretty much gibberish if you only give the letters that add up. The other way, at least it's a Biblical verse or whatever. it might even allude to the subject or the author's name. That would be a piece of important information we might want to have. MRS At 11:18 AM 7/18/2005, you wrote:  Why, in the case of chronograms, is it perferable to transcribe only the characters comprising the date? Why not transcribe the entire chronogram, marking the letters given typographical prominance on the source with a geresh or some other marker? 764 [2003 or 2004] צ×'×ק' ×'ת'×'ר' ××¤×¨× Should a note be added that says something like Date from chronogram of Ps. 92:12. PROPOSED NEW RULE?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office / A1.4E. Date. a) For published resources, transcribe the date in which the resource was published as it appears on the resource, usually only as year(s). i) If the date is not in Western-style Arabic numerals, transcribe the date as it appears on the resource in nonroman transcriptions. In the case of chronograms, transcribe only the characters comprising the date. In romanized transcriptions, transcribe the date according to the practice prescribed in the appropriate romanization table. ii) If the date is not of the Gregorian or Julian calendar, follow it with the equivalent year(s) of the Gregorian or Julian calendar in square brackets if needed for comprehensibility.
