There are also many useful works available in the reference rooms of the Beinecke and Sterling. All of the reference works in the reading room and lobby of the Beinecke have been cataloged in Orbis. Octavo reference works with the exception of "Z" call numbers are in the reading room. The reference works on the shelves in the lobby are "Z" call numbers and oversize. In addition, there is an area known as stack reference, located in stack area 1 on our level, where less frequently used reference works are shelved. These, too, are cataloged in Orbis. We also need to make use of Sterling's reference room holdings for many general works. We do have the option to expand our reference holdings as "urgent" needs are identified, but keep in mind that those books we do purchase are paid for by the general Beinecke book fund.

66th IFLA Council and General Conference Jerusalem, Israel, 13-18 August Code Number: 138-174(WS)-E Division Number: VII Professional Group: Library History in association with the Association of Jewish Libraries, Judaica Librarians Group, and Hebraica Libraries Group: Workshop - Session 3 Joint Meeting with: Meeting Number: Simultaneous Interpretation: No A look at Rabbinic biographical dictionaries published since 1950 Avraham Greenbaum Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel Abstract There were some early attempts to compile rabbinic biographical dictionaries, the most serious of which was a dictionary of living rabbis with addresses and brief biographies (19212). After the Holocaust, and continuing until today, a number of such works were published. Our list is representative and tries to cover different types. Some of these works reach back into the Middle Ages, and in one multivolume project even to the "Creation of the World". But the most useful are the ones dealing with the rabbis of a defined geographic area. While most writers are rabbis themselves, those with bibliographic training tone down the hagiographic element and concentrate on factual bio-bibliographic information.

Home What's New Contact Site Map ... Further Reading var site="sm3ciarab" The Reference Shelf Back to Reference Shelf Index -Biographical Dictionaries Biographical Dictionary Includes over 28,000 'notable men and women who have shaped our world from ancient times to the present day' (quote). The dictionary can be searched by name, year, profession and other keywords. Being a dictionary, the entries are brief, in many instances occupying only one or two lines. This is most noticeably the case for non-American based figures with a random search on some notable and not so notable figures confirming the fact. For instance, George Washington, Richard Nixon and Arnold Schwarzenegger each are given 14-16 lines, while Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and Picasso each occupy only 3 lines. I was pleasantly surprised to see entries, though again brief, for less notable non-American figures such as (taking Irish examples) Van Morrison, Albert Reynolds, Bertie Aherne, and Dick Spring. Currency at first seems assured, as a check on recently deceased persons confirmed. However, I couldn't help noticing entries that seem to have nothing post-1996 to say about their subject (?). Furthermore, merely listing the title and birth date of Prince Edward, son of Elizabeth II, (and nothing of his short-lived marine career, stage interest or marriage) while listing the novels of Jeffrey Archer (but little else, not even the party chairmanship) constitutes balanced entries. Again, I must emphasis, the entries are in the main very brief. However, brief does not have to mean uninformative. Information I could not extract from the site included details of the body responsible for the resource. (I will investigate same in the near future, or else it may become necessary to cease listing this site).
