This comprehensive text clarifies the rules and practices of
descriptive and subject cataloging of Hebrew-alphabet materials. At
the same time it chronicles the historical and descriptive
cataloging and classification traditions in two centers of Hebrew
cataloging-Washington and Jerusalem. The authors provide guidelines
for formulating headings and uniform titles; analyze and
demonstrate systems for transliteration and transcription; and
trace (structurally and historically) classification systems for
Judaica, Hebraica, and Israelitica. Librarians with Internet access
to Israeli systems will also find the tools they need to search and
understand those catalogs. This 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 cataloging worldwide.
