Lampert Library

Online – At Last

online library iconNotes From the Lampert Library

We’re on line-sort of. A few months ago, I wrote about making the Lampert Library’s holdings accessible via the internet. Today (Tuesday, July 7), I entered the first records.

The process will be slow as every book in the library has to be handled, checked and then matched with a record from another source. But it will be done.

Any helpers out there? It’s not difficult. All you need is a computer and internet connection…and some time.

This is a perfect service project for middle and high school students.

Eventually there will be a direct link to the catalog from the Shomrei home page. For the time being, use this link to access the website and see the progress: alm.hl.scoolaid.net/bin/home

If you’d like to help or have comments or requests, please contact me at the library’s NEW mail address which is and check back often to see the progress.
