Where can I purchase the CD Rom version of the Encyclopedia Judaica ?

What is the cost ?

I fully agree with Linda. This is unfortunately only one of several (if not
many) articles that are not fully updated. This is to say nothing of the
lack of visuals in the new edition. It is clearly not a tribute either to
Thomson Gale nor the editors. Marion

I compared the 1972 article on children's literature with the one in the new

means that most, if not all, of the article is out-of-date and incomplete.
There is, for example, no mention of the Sydney Taylor Book Award or any
The feedback that I am hearing from people is that of much disappointment in
the new EJ. It seems in their rush to get it out by deadline that many
omissions were made. I am disappointed in the cutting out of so many of the
illustrations, for example. Linda's example is just one of, I am sure,
Janice's ideas are sound, and I hope we can all get on the bandwagon
and prevail upon Gale.

We ran into this as well; this issue is that the old EJ can't run on
computers that have TOO MUCH (!) memory. We came up with this
(somewhat complicated) fix:
1. go to RUN on the start menu.
2. type in (in capital letters): MSCONFIG
3. click OK.
4. click on the tab BOOT.INI
5.
Thanks Dan. I had seen this fix online. Unfortunately, we provide EJ for
our students here and are not able to run this set of commands every time a
student wants access to EJ. Changing the memory allocation affects too many
of our other databases. If any one knows of another work around, I'd

This issue was brought up last year on ha-Safran. Apprarently, EJ
has a problem running on systems with more than 512MB of RAM. The
problem can be fixed by adding a Windows registry entry that
