I created a WorldCat list called "The Jewish Anthology" at https://www.worldcat.org/profiles/leejaffe/lists/2207000 I based my work partly on another WC list I discovered through links from titles I discovered during searches: https://www.worldcat.org/profiles/pmah/lists/13647. It's a useful tool for folks to help with their research and a good way to share your work with others. Lee Jaffe, UC Santa Cruz
