This comprehensive text for cataloguers clarifies the rules and practices of descriptive and subject cataloguing of Hebrew-alphabet materials. At the same time it chronicles the traditions of historical and descriptive cataloguing and classification in two major centres of Hebrew cataloguing – Washington and Jerusalem. After providing guidelines for formulating headings and uniform titles, the authors analyze and demonstrate systems for transliteration and transcription. They then trace (structurally and historically) the classification systems for Judaica, Hebraica and Israelitica. Librarians with Internet access to Israeli systems should also find the tools they need to search and understand their catalogues. The detailed exploration and comparison of the approaches of America’s RLIN and Israel’s ALEPH bibliographic networks closes with an analysis of the potential for exchanging Hebrew bibliographic data and a forecast of the implication of automation for the future of Hebrew cataloguing worldwide.
This book should be a useful reference for cataloguers and database managers in research libraries with Middle Eastern studies programmes, or Hebrew language and literature collections. It should also be useful to small theological and synagogue libraries, parochial schools, and LIS schools and departments that teach advanced cataloguing classes involving non-roman scripts.
