Each review includes an abstract, bibliographic information and comments and notes by an experienced Diaspora educator. The hope is that the database will serve as a valuable resource in assisting both formal and informal Jewish educators, in a variety of settings, in locating appropriate materials on a wide variety of subjects.
Growth is planned, with updates being developed to meet changing needs and realities.
This CD-ROM edition is for IBM compatibles running Windows. A complimentary copy of DataJEM CD-ROM is being made available to agencies working in formal or informal Jewish education, and is intended to be shared by all relevant staff of schools, pedagogic centers, libraries, youth movements, etc. In return, the Pedagogic Center asks that users become familiar with its features, utilize it, and then provide feedback on its functioning and usefulness. A reply questionnaire is included.
