The Gelman Library at George Washington University has purchased the complete works of the Buddha as described in the Pali Canon. This complete English translation was welcomed to the library on National Library Day 2008, with a traditional Tibetan Ceremony. Photos of the procession and ceremonial reading are available here:

Access to the complete English translation of the Pali Canon will substantially improve opportunities for student and faculty research in Buddhist philosophy and religion.

Q need free online Hebrew Bible in Spanish
Dear All,
My first post. I have a question from a member of the pubic who needs a link to a free online site that has the Hebrew Bible in both Hebrew and Spanish. I was able to easily find the Hebrew/English, Hebrew/French, and Hebrew/ Portuguese Hebrew bibles online. Given that he already has the Hebrew a link to the Hebrew Bible in Spanish only would also suffice. My patron cannot make it to a library, so I can't suggested any of our library materials/products to help him. Any suggestions. I will also send this question by regular email. Thanks.

New interface from Blackwell
Following up on our conversation at Midwinter about Blackwell's collection management software....
I just found out from our acquisitions librarian that Blackwell will be rolling out a new interface for Collection Manager sometime in the next several months. They promise new features and improved functionality (sorry, I don't have any specifics). Those of you who use Blackwell might want to ask your reps about this--and let's all keep our fingers crossed!
