almost twenty years since its inception, the
Heb-NACO listserv is becoming more and more
under-utilized. The original purpose was to
serve as a forum for Hebraica NACO Funnel
members to discuss issues surrounding the
creation of Hebraica NARs for the NAF (now
LCNAF). It very quickly expanded to cover
any</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial

topic relating to the cataloging of Hebraic
and Judaic materials and the listserv was
opened to Hebraica and Judaica catalogers
around the world. </span></div>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Unicode MS',
'sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">In
recent years the traffic on the listserv has
slowed greatly with catalogers choosing to
send queries privately to Joan and me. Now
that Joan’s retirement date is approaching,
it’s necessary to reconsider the purpose and
functioning of the Heb-NACO listserv. With
staffing cuts in every institution and the
advent of RDA, everyone is swamped with work
and no one has time available to answer
cataloging queries on a one-on-one basis. </span></div>

give the list more of a chance to fulfill
its original purpose of sharing expertise
widely among colleagues who catalog Hebraica
materials. Most of the questions in recent
years haver been related to subject
cataloging problems and the identification
and formulation of complex liturgical
headings. Too often, though, such
discussions have petered out without being
solved, or have been solved in desperation
by fiat. In the future, let’s bring more
questions to the group and follow through
with the discussions. No one but us can
solve the particular questions that arise
with our materials. </span></div>

job of the LC liaison and me can no longer

So that everyone may benefit from your
research, if you question another library’s
romanization, give the title which contains
the word you question, and offer your
preferred romanization. It’s not necessary
and in very bad form to name the cataloger
or identify the the institution (by MARC
Organizational Code or OCLC code) which
produced the record. Give your e-mail
message the subject line “Romanization”.</span></div>
