Treasure the Cairo Genizah, the amazing discoveries of forgotten
Jewish History in an Egyptian synagogue attic, by Rabbi Mark

Thank you to Debbie Stern for reminding everyone about checking the
wiki for useful information.
The co-administrators of the wiki are now Diane Romm, who originally
set it up and added most of the original content, and Tina Weiss.
I also encourage everyone to add your own ideas to this growing
I've already replied personally to Michelle Sandler about this, but
wanted to remind everyone of the usefulness of the AJL Wiki for these
kinds of questions. There's a wonderful page with concise information
and very helpful links about cataloging for synagogues and centers at
My congregation also recently re-organized its library. We hired a
wonderful consultant, our own Susan Dubin, to help make those kind of
decisions and set up a new system.

Dear Michelle,
Mackin is now providing free cataloging in Elazar with books you
purchase from them. They might be able to do a retrospective in
Elazar. They can be reached at www.mackin.com
Good luck,

Hello,
I am a masters student at the Information School at UW and I have taken on

Dan Bridge gave me a bit of information about the last time the collection

This typographical error in the Relative Index to Weine is a prime example
of why one should always follow the instruction found on the opening page of
the Directions for the Use of the Relative Index: Never classify solely
from the index. The correct number is found in the actual Classification
A day school librarian asked me today why Weine classified Mishnah as
323.1. This is obviously wrong so we checked. Mishnah is indeed given a
323.1 number in the Weine Relative Index, 3rd Ed. So change that number to
232.1 and check your shelves in case you made the same mistake my colleague
What Weine number do people use for books about the
fate of non-Jewish groups who were persecuted by the
Nazis? Also, what subject headings and subheadings are
used? Is the heading Holocaust reserved for Jewish
victims only?

z222.107 - can it be used for Commentaries on Genesis? Who can I

victims, e.g. Jehovah's witnesses, Romanies, etc.?
