Ekh Kotvim et Zeh be-Otiyot Latiniyot: Or, How in the World Do
We Express Hebrew with English Letters? - Joyce Levine,
Director, Nathan Liebman Memorial Library, Hebrew Academy
of Nassau County.
This talk will review the basic rules of transliteration
as well as the problems encountered by day school students
in searching Hebrew entries in a non-Hebrew environment.
How can the needs of the non-academic end user who has
limited familiarity with the rules of transliteration be
anticipated and met?
Ivri, Ketov Ivrit! How to Write Hebrew Words Without
Hebrew Letters - Rabbi Clifford B. Miller, Cataloger,
Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
This presentation will answer questions that have been
submitted by catalogers from across the country. In the
process, we will discover whether we disagree with the
Library of Congress because we know too much or too little
Hebrew grammar.
