For more information about titles held in Brandeis University Libraries in Yiddish, consult the OneSearch catalog. In "Advanced" search, you can limit your search to Yiddish only books by limiting the "language" choice to Yiddish. Many Yiddish literature titles are in the PJ5000's call number range, on the Mezzanine Level of the Goldfarb Library.

For example: search by keyword-author "singer". Limit to Yiddish language. You will find stories and novels of both I.B. Singer and I.J. Singer in Yiddish and English translation. OneSearch will find books in English translation of any originally titled Yiddish work.
