* AJFCANet

  From: Chaim Dworkin <chaim@ENIAC.SEAS.UPENN.EDU>


  AJFCANet, a new computer network that links JFCS with a
  national umbrella agency-- the Association of Jewish Family and
  Children's Agencies.

  AJFCANet is the brainchild of Dr. Marvin Berman, president of
  Network Development Consulting.

  Berman designed AJFCANet in cooperation with Burt Goldberg,
  national executive director of AJFCA.  "If someone wants a
  particular piece of information, they will be able to obtain it
  instantly, without searching through material they don't need,"
  Goldberg said.  "Our goal was to create a system whereby our
  agencies will have access to the latest data on trends in the
  Jewish family service field, conferences, grants, and statistics."
  The local facility must purchase the telecommunications
  program that permits access to the Connect network and pay a
  monthly service charge of $14.  The software program runs about
  $150.

  Locally, Goldman said, AJFCANet also complements the Elder
  Support Service, the Jewish community's natioanl netowrk that
  facilitates the provision of services to the elderly.
  Nationally, the New York-based Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society
  will begin using the system shortly.

* GEnie??I

  From: Alan Stein <STEIN@UCONNVM.BITNET>

  There are several dozen Jews active in areas of Jewish interest
  on GEnie.

  GEnie is divided into roundtables, each of which has bulletin
  boards and libraries.  The bulletin boards are included in the
  monthly charge ($4.95), while the libraries are not.  There are
  three bulletin boards with active Jewish participation.

  The Military RT bulletin board has a topic on Israel and
  Palestine which is one of the most active topics on GEnie.  It
  also has a topic on the Holocaust, although that isn't as
  active.  There is a lot of Israel bashing, with a group of Jews
  stepping in to defend Israel and go on the offensive.  (This is
  common to most topics involving anything to do with Jews or
  Israel.)

  The PF*NPC (Public Forum*Non Profit Connection) RT has a
  category on the Middle East, with several of the topics of
  involving Israel.
