The database also includes a subject index to some of the Responsa and Poskim, and index to journal articles which discuss various aspects of Jewish law. The Responsa USB features the full texts of the relevant databases, accompanied by sophisticated retrieval tools, including hypertext links, which enable users to search, retrieve and compare texts from different periods, displaying them in different windows on one's computer. Special attention has been paid to minimize typographical errors, and we encourage our users to notify us about any mistakes they have discovered; such errors are corrected in future releases of the Responsa Project on USB Key.
The Project is one of Bar-Ilan University's most impressive achievements. The Project was initiated when the computer was in its early stages. Today, after four decades of work invested in the development of algorithms and digitizing and editing texts, the Project has become an invaluable treasure, accessible to all, and useful to beginners and experts alike. The Responsa software uses a sophisticated searching engine which is extremely powerful, yet easy to use.It is thus possible to locate material in more than 100,000 Responsa on every facet of Jewish law, and in more than 182 million words of traditional Jewish teaching.
