I'm looking for contact info for large Judaica lending libraries. I'm sure there are some outside NY too - anyone knows of them, please pass that along too - but figured this was my best bet. Thanks!

What are you looking for - fiction? History?

JTS has a fab. library.

Not an academic library, but a lending library for popular Judaica, etc.

Oh......even in the Jewish neighborhoods they're not very large. and you pay per book.

I'm actually interested in finding out about different cataloguing systems. I'm going to pursue the academic library contacts I got next week iy"H but figure I'll get more practical feedback from "heimish" libraries. Maybe the schools, like BYBP would be a good lead too.

My mother is a librarian at a large girls' school. She doesn't use a a typical cataloguing system, though. But they don't lend to the public, just to students, and staff, etc.

PM me if you want info.
