Good Shabbos everyone! Here are this week's suggested links to bookmark:
Israeli online library catalogs (OPACs): The
MALMAD - Israel Center for Digital Information Services publishes and maintains an extensive, if not exhaustive, list of library web catalogs from Israel's universities.
Available for searching online, "The monumental 19-volume
Encyclopedia of the Founders and Builders of Israel was compiled and published by David Tidhar (1897-1970) over the 23 years from 1947 until his death."
A great LibGuides page for Yiddish resources published by Johns Hopkins University is available
here.
Looking for a job? METRO in NYC publishes a Libguides page of professional development resources
here (from the
NY Librarian's Meetup blog).
For those of you out there who thought it was too difficult or expensive to publish your writing, Barnes&Noble has now released
PubIt, an electronic upload service that allows easier entry into the ebook market for self-published authors and independent publishing companies (a boon for almost any Jewish publisher or author). Barnes&Noble says that 35 of their 200 top best-sellers in on the Nook were published through this new service.
