Church, Insurance and Risk Management

Greetings,

As a new member of this blog and an interest in this ACRL group I thought would make a brief post. I am the Digital Services Librarian at St. John's University - Manhattan Campus. The library I work in is primarily focused on insurance and risk management. I recently received an MA in theology from SJU and have been working on building up our collection in the general subject areas of Churches - Insurance; Clergy - Insurance, Professional Liability; and Religion and insurance. The link to our Website is www.stjohns.edu/davislibrary and our catalog link is InsureCat. You're welcome to see what we already have. I'm interested if anyone in this group has a specific resources in these subject areas that you think would be helpful addition. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pali Canon @ Gelman Library

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.
