American Journal of Jewish Studies Writes About Open Access, Israel Scholar Works

AJS Perspectives, the magazine of the Association for Jewish Studies, in its spring 2006 issue' Perspectives on Technology article "Sharing Knowledge: Recent Trends in Search and Delivery Tools for Scholarly Content" by Heidi Lerner (p.32) writes about Open Source and Open Access. "As members of the Jewish studies scholarly community, we are in the best position to determine the value and usefulness of [OA] tools," the article highlights. The author, Hebraica/Judaica Cataloger at Stanford University Libraries, calls for the Jewish Studies community to "take the initiative and familiarize ourselves with new web-based technologies and services". One of the mentioned resources, is Israel Scholar Works by Israel Scholar.
