Berit Milah vs. Circumcision ...
When is it appropriate to use "Berit Milah", when is "Circumcision-Religious aspects-Judaism" appropriate and when should both be used? Thanks in advance for clarification. Shanah Tovah, Rita Lifton Senior Cataloger Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary
Heb-NACO-"Kevod ha-tsibur"
I am cataloging a work entitled Aliyat nashim la-Torah, originally published as part of a special issue of the periodical Sinai entitled Kovets ha-Rambam. The concept of "kevod ha-tsibur" is cited as one of the reasons that women do not receive aliyot in the vast majority of Orthodox synagogues. I would appreciate your suggestions on how to best express "Kevod ha-tsibur" in a single or several subject headings. Thanks in advance. Hag Hanukah Sameah, Rita

Re: adding Hebrew to bib records
JTS catalogers add Hebrew vernacular to all RLIN records. Rita At 02:17 PM 7/26/2005 -0400, 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? Thank you for your time and help, Jasmin -- Jasmin Nof Judaica and Hebraica Cataloger 2200 McKeldin Library University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 301-405-9330 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: problem in RLIN 21 with Unicode control characters?
At JTS, it seems to vary from cataloger to cataloger. I've experienced the problem in title fields while Cliff has experienced it in paired contents fields and Tzivia has not had the problem at all. Rita At 08:41 PM 7/13/2005 -0700, Heidi G. Lerner wrote: Dear RLIN 21 catalogers, Have any of you had the following problem when creating bib records in RLIN 21? a right-to-left input problem when an initial Unicode control character in a right-to-left field resultes in a spurious "Duplicate subfield "a" not allowed" validation error. If yes, could you please let me know and describe the problem to me. Thanks, Heidi Heidi G. Lerner Hebraica/Judaica Cataloger Catalog Dept.

Name authority record
My colleague, Rabbi Bezalel Majersdorf, and I have ascertained that W. (William) Low, 1922- (arn# 01056870) and Ze'ev ben Nahum Lev, ha-Levi (arn# 04086053) are the same person. In LC's catalog, the book Berur Musagim is ascribed to the former whereas Ma'arkhe Lev: 'Iyunim u-Verurim be-Shimush Mikhshur ... is ascribed to the latter. However, on p. 10 of Ma'arkhe Lev, in the introduction, the author refers to his earlier work, Berur Musagim. Professor Lev passed away in October 2004. Shabbat Shalom, Rita
Title of book
I am cataloging a work which is primarily in Hebrew issued by Tel-Aviv University's Merkaz le-heker ha-tefutsot a. sh. Goldshtain-Goren. The first four words of the added English title are "European Jews and Jewish Europeans." The first word of the Hebrew title is Yehudim; the 2nd word is spelled alef, yud, resh, vav, peh, yud, mem sofit; the third is the same as the second except that it starts with a vav; and the fourth word of the title is again Yehudim. Should the second and third words be Romanized as: Eropim .ve-Eropim, or Eropiyim .ve-Eropiyim There is just one yud before the mem sofit. TIA, Shabbat Shalom, Rita
