General Field: Contemporary Jewry

Background and Objectives
     The Bibliography in Contemporary Jewry consists of 4,000 indexed
and annotated descriptions of books, articles and journals dealing
with various facets of 20th century Jewish life and experience,
published from 1984 to 1987. The described material are available in
the Jewish National Library at Givat Ram in Jerusalem.
     In order to provide maximal access to this unique body of
material, the bibliography has been computerized at the Institute of
Contemporary Jewry's Bibliographical Center. It is now available for
research and publication purposes via the ALEPH computer network, thus
comprising a significant and valuable reference tool in the field of
Contemporary Jewish Studies.

Current Status and Future Plans:
     - 4,000 indexed and annotated descriptions of articles, journals
       and books are available online at the Institute of Contemporary
       Jewry's Bibliographical Center through the ALEPH computer
       network.
     - When funding is resumed, the Bibliography Center will expand
       and update the present bibliography to include relevant
       material published before 1984 and after 1987.
     - Resumption and expansion of ongoing registration.
     - Publication of selected material from the bibliography.
