I went to the session about the new EJ at the
convention.
The Gale representative gave her contact information,
and said that all criticism should be addressed to
her.
I don't have that information in front of me, but
maybe someone else who attended the session can
provide it.
I believe she said th
I fully agree with Linda. This is unfortunately only one of several (if not
many) articles that are not fully updated. This is to say nothing of the
lack of visuals in the new edition. It is clearly not a tribute either to
Thomson Gale nor the editors. Marion

Janice's ideas are sound, and I hope we can all get on the bandwagon
and prevail upon Gale.

The feedback that I am hearing from people is that of much disappointment in
the new EJ. It seems in their rush to get it out by deadline that many
omissions were made. I am disappointed in the cutting out of so many of the
illustrations, for example. Linda's example is just one of, I am sure, many
Wherever we publish information re the availability of EJ, we will
ask patrons to call us for the password. That method pleases Thomson Gale.

Thanks Dan. I had seen this fix online. Unfortunately, we provide EJ for
our students here and are not able to run this set of commands every time a
student wants access to EJ. Changing the memory allocation affects too many
of our other databases. If any one knows of another work around, I'd l

We ran into this as well; this issue is that the old EJ can't run on
computers that have TOO MUCH (!) memory. We came up with this
(somewhat complicated) fix:
1. go to RUN on the "start" menu.
2. type in (in capital letters): MSCONFIG
3. click OK.
4. click on the tab "BOOT.INI"
5.
We at The Ohio State University are ordering the electronic version
as well as (at least) one copy of the printed edition for the Judaica
and Hebraica Reading Room.

I have preordered the new edition of the EJ in print. The electronic
is a lot more space saving but I want to have it available to multiple users.

This issue was brought up last year on ha-Safran. Apprarently, EJ
has a problem running on systems with more than 512MB of RAM. The
problem can be fixed by adding a Windows registry entry that
instructs Windows to limit the resources available to the EJ while
allowing full resources to be ava
I'm no computer mayven, but I have a nice new computer running Windows XP,
and I have the EJ installed and it's running fine. Are you specifically
talking about a network installation? It's installed on my PC as a
stand-alone. I didn't install it, by the way; one of our volunteers did
it, so
I am currently running the Encyclopedia Judaica on a Windows XP platform
with no difficulty. I have an older version, one that requries a hasp, and
it did not require any special steps beyond the normal instasllation when I
upgraded to XP. I also know individuals with a newer version of the EJ t
Interesting dilemma, Don. One I haven't heard of
before.
According to the Jewishstore website -
http://www.jewishstore.com/Software/EncyJudaica.htm -
EJ does run on XP, as well as Windows 95/98/ME/2000.
Perhaps they are misinformed.
They added an odd note, though :
"The Encyclopaedia Judaica CD-
