Abstract

Many American academic and research libraries are cataloging Hebrew script materials into online catalogs. These are items that are currently being acquired, extant collections that are undergoing retrospective conversion, or uncataloged backlogs. Institutions need to decide whether to include vernacular Hebrew script in the catalog records or to provide records in romanization. This paper will look at the choices American institutions have made about using vernacular Hebrew script to catalog Hebraica, issues involved in these choices, such as evaluating the financial and technical resources that are available for cataloging Hebrew script materials, and the (radeoffs between benefits and their costs.
