Good news! As a result of my inquiry about indexing of the AJL Newsletter in the Index to Jewish Periodicals, Lenore Koppel replied that: "In the next issue of the Index, we will include a cross-referencing pointer to link the two titles of the AJL publication [Newsletter] (and any others that have a similar relationship)." I hope that, similarly, by letting Thompson-Gale know of our specific concerns with the Encyclopaedia Judaica, we can be an effective voice for change. This is one of the benefits and strengths of our being an association of librarians. And despite its failings I, and the students and faculty of my institution, are very happy that Thompson Gale invested in and undertook this project. Reconstructionism got almost no coverage in the first edition and now it's included and updated, as are other important topics. It's also extremely helpful for research that we now have the EJ in an online and electronically searchable format. So I say let's not "overlook the forest for the trees," but rather continue to work effectively to make the new EJ even better. Debbie Stern, Library Director Mordecai M.
