Conference Lectures and Syllabus Available

Audio CDs of sessions presented at the International Association of Jewish Genealogical
Societies' 26th Annual International Conference on Jewish Genealogy, held in New York City
in August, can now be ordered online. The sessions were recorded live and are unedited. A
CD of an individual session sells for $14; a double session sells for $25. Individual and
double sessions can also be downloaded as MP3s for the same cost. An MP3 CD with all of
the recorded sessions on it costs $149. It is not downloadable.

A 10% discount will be applied to orders for individual or double CDs that cost a total of
$100 or more. Shipping costs $2 per CD within the United States with a maximum charge of
$10. For orders shipped outside of North America, a 25% surcharge will be added.

After the order form was programmed to charge Canadians the same shipping rate as
residents of other countries, the recording company reduced Canada's shipping rate to a
flat rate of $10. Canadian customers ordering online will have the 25% surcharge added,
and a credit will be issued to their credit cards. Canadian orders placed by phone will
have the flat shipping rate applied immediately.

MP3 CDs will be shipped with all of the components that need to be installed in computers
that do not already have the necessary software. MP3 CDs can only be played on MP3
players, PCs, and MP3-capable CD or DVD players. Place orders through the conference
website at http://www.jgsny2006.org/conference_recording.cfm.


The conference syllabus can also be ordered online. Included in the syllabus are paper
copies of the speakers' handouts, information about doing research in New York City, and a
searchable audio CD version. Shipments within North America cost $45 for the paper
version, the CD version, and the cost of delivery. Within the United States, delivery is
through the U.S. Postal Service. Delivery to Canada is via UPS Surface. For orders outside
of North America, paper copies of the syllabus cannot be delivered due to the high cost of
shipping; only the CD version of the syllabus is available. The cost is $10, including
airmail delivery. The syllabus can be ordered at http://www.jgsny2006.org/book_link.cfm.
