New Workshop: Cataloging Judaica Resources

¾«¶«´«Ã½

CHICAGO—¾«¶«´«Ã½Publishing eLearning Solutions announces an exciting new workshop, with Sheryl Stahl. This workshop will last 90 minutes and take place at 2:30pm Eastern/1:30 Central/12:30 Mountain/11:30am Pacific on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017. This workshop is a collaboration between ¾«¶«´«Ã½Publishing eLearning Solutions and the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL).

This workshop is intended for individuals who know how to catalog, but who either may not be familiar with Jewish texts or do not know how to catalog them.

This session covers anonymous sacred works, such as the Bible, Talmud, and liturgy, and discusses how to construct the appropriate uniform titles and assign other access points, subject headings, and Library of Congress classification numbers. We will go over similar points for sacred texts with authors, such as legal codes and biblical commentaries.

The presenter will also share her favorite tools for Judaica cataloging.
