Overview According to Ronald Hagler, the first of the six functions of bibliographic control, or information organization, is to identify the existence of all types of information resources as they are made available. The motive for identifying resources is obvious – one has to know a resource exists for it to be of any worth. This is true not only for libraries, but for all information providers. This paper will analyze how Hagler’s function is demonstrated by the St. Charles City-County Library
The Hebrew Exiles in Babylon When Jerusalem fell to the conquering Babylonians in 587 BC, most of what was important to the Hebrew people was gone. They lost their holy city, the Temple was destroyed, and the Davidic monarchy ended (Beasley 221). Following the destruction of Jerusalem, the Babylonian king, Nebuchadrezzar, deported most of the population to other cities, including Babylon. These exiles remained there for about fifty years until the Persian forces, under king Cyrus, took the city
failing to continue their payment of tribute, Babylonia besieged Jerusalem. Nebuchadrezzer II, king on Babylonia, installs a puppet king, Zedekiah, in order to keep the Judeans in line. Nevertheless, Zedekiah rebels also. In 586, Babylonia exiles the most of the rulers and people of Judah to Babylonia, leaving only the poorest, and decimates Jerusalem, including the temple. Since the people believed the “Zion Theology,” which said Jerusalem is God’s choice of Zion and the monarchy comes from David, exile

factors, willpower, and accidents of history brought back and revived the Hebrew and Yiddish language. This was important because it created the base for a new, secular Jewish society and culture to emerge again with their own language and a new social identity. This new social identity meant that there was a nationalistic movement toward having a common language, literature, and cultural heritage. However, the reason why the Hebrew and Yiddish language lagged in the first place was due to Nazism and
In his youth Paul learned of tent-making. He may have matriculated at the famous university in Tarsus, one of the three major universities of the Roman Empire. His rabbinical training was under Gamaliel at Jerusalem. His postschool probably served in synagogues outside of Palestine after his rabbinical training. He return to Jerusalem after Jesus ascension .It was than they he became one of the greatest persecutor of the Christian church. Paul’s conversion
would later become known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. This first discovery produced seven scrolls and started an archaeological search that produced thousands of scroll fragments in eleven caves. The Dead Sea is located in Israel and Jordan, east of Jerusalem. The dead sea is very deep, salty, and it's the lowest body of water in the world. Because the dead sea is at such a low elevation, the climate has a high evaporation rate but a very low humidity which helped to preserve the scrolls. Archaeologists
(Collins 2004:183). The book of king relates the history of Hebrew united and divided monarchies in their covenant failure. The narrative focuses on the figures primarily responsible for covenant keeping in Israel, the kings and prophets. The prophetic voice has a prominent place in the history of kingship because those divinely appointed messengers functioned as the conscience of the monarchies (Hill &Walton 2009: 290). The history of the Hebrew nation is told through the lives of the Israelite and Judean

The aforementioned Calev Myers founded the Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ) in 2004, with the purpose of securing civil rights and social justice for the Israeli people. Since 2006, the JIJ “ has successfully handled 390 cases of discrimination, including 17 Supreme Court victories dealing with
The Sign of the Loincloth: Jeremiah (13:1-11) The first eleven verses of chapter thirteen of Jeremiah are a very distinctive portion of an already unique book. Jeremiah’s vision of the sign of the loincloth is an affluent passage whose depth cannot be fully understood without a proper exegetical exploration. I intend on doing an exegesis on this passage of Jeremiah. The language and symbols used held significance easily understood by the original audience, yet are difficult to comprehend by modern

A Theater of My Own My grandmother, Annie was a seanchai, an Irish storyteller. She was the only great actor I have known intimately. Her stage was the kitchen of her cottage in the West of Ireland and her stories were about her friends and neighbors. She recreated their trials and triumphs and with her talent for mimicry accorded each a speaking part. Her one woman show held me spellbound. She commanded my tears and fits of laughter depending on the content of her story or dictated by a whim
school climate. The samples of the study represented all students in middle school. The control variables in this study were the students in school and the socioeconomic index of the student’s families. The study was approved by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem ethics committee. The stratified cluster sample of this study was designed to represent all students in the public school system (Berkowitz 2014). The study was monitor by the Israeli Ministry of Education because most of the schools
discovered a cave containing pottery jars filled with manuscripts that would come to be known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. The study of these scrolls has advanced human understanding on the authenticity of the Old Testament, the development of historical Hebrew texts, the culture of the Jewish community where Christianity was born and Rabbinic Judaism was developed, and the connections that can now be made between Judaism and Christianity.

Riklis shows a Palestinian young boy named Eyad from a small town. Eyad later moves to college in a different city-Jerusalem. This is a new experience for Eyad, as he has never been out of his city and on his own. This is a difficult situation for any high school bound student, however, even more so for Eyad. The circumstances Eyad is placed in by moving to a high school in Jerusalem makes it difficult for him to make friends, be trusted, and get a job. His experience away from home was far from what

According to the ABC news, “Stewart and other researchers from Berkeley, as well as Hebrew University in Jerusalem and several other American, Canadian and South African universities, have recovered more than 100,000 artifacts from the site, mostly pottery. They tell a graphic story of how that community changed from a Phoenician culture steeped in boatbuilding and seamanship to a
formation of Western and Eastern ideologies and has had an unmistakably profound impact upon the theological and cultural evolution of mankind. Former U.S. President John Adams, commenting on the historical importance of the Hebrews, once said the following: "I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing
contains messages of divine judgment against Judah and Jerusalem, as well as against other nations. It addresses a rare concentration of references to central issues in the history of ancient Israel. Idolatry, violence, and deception abound in Judah when Zephaniah began prophesying. Zephaniah's prophesying made it clear that Yahweh would execute vengeance upon unrepentant wrongdoers. His adverse judgments would be visited not only upon Judah and Jerusalem, but also upon other peoples: the Philistines, Ammonites
