Dear all, We have talked about the need for Israeli dissertations quite a bit in the beginning of the summer, and it was very clear how important this topic is to many of us. Well, it seems that now we are getting somewhere. CRL is in the process of acquiring dissertations from Israel in the areas of Jewish and Israel Studies. It is a two step process for them. They have already made the arrangements for the standing order for all new dissertations from 2005 onward. However there is also a proposal on the CRL's table to acquire available dissertations in the above subject areas from previous years (step 2). Those of us who are CRL member institutions, please make sure the person in charge of voting for your institution ranks this proposal high. This proposal will be competing, I am sure, with other very worthy things, so we need as many votes for this as possible. Thank you very much for all your help.
