I notice that there are many people that don't know where to find seforim online.

At www.spertus.edu, you can join the library- fairly inexpensive- I think $50 for 2 years, and get full access to their online database, which includes the bar ilan cd, the encyclopedia judaica, the jewish encyclopedia, sefer aggadah, and a few others.

There's an enormous amount of free online material here. When I'm online I can usually find what I'm looking for from one of the links. The material is in different formats so it's not all equally usefull. Here are some useful examples:

Megillat Ta'anit

Tanach, Shas, Yad Ha-Chazakah (you can copy and post to h.com posts from this format)

Ben Ish Chai

Pirkei Derabbi Eliezer

but if you click around here you'll find a tremendous amount of material when you don't have your seforim accessible.

AWESOME LINK!!!!!!

THANKS OUR KING!!!!

Cool! I wanted to look at a copy of menoras zahav and its there!!
Thank you. you are awesome Melech!!

Wow-ee...thanks!

looks like a pretty awesome site.. but i'm basically hebrew illiterate.. i can speak/understand almost fluently, but never learned how to read.. i have to sound stuff out and still can't figure it out half the time...

Thanks! Now I just have to remember to remember this thread the next time I need to look stuff up.

I bookmarked the links.

Problem is, you're all enjoying the fruits of a terrible aveirah. I found the site because I did a search for "jts library" and came up with this. This site was the link if you scroll down to
"Halacha Brura
* E-books of rabbinic literature".

Shock and Awe
tnx!

edit: though the Hebrew is slowing me down...

great link, worth a bump

yet again

Bump

as far as I know, all the free links on this thread are already in post #59 in the pinned thread. let me know if something is missing.

that said, I will b'n add the Spertus link as a non-free link when I have a chance to edit.

Are these links all in #59 of JSN?

ETA: Beaten by Melech....

as far as I know, yes they are. let me know if I'm missing anything.

Actually, the Internet can solve that problem!!!! You need to find a site that translates things from Hebrew to English. Perhaps others here can help us find such sites. I'm having trouble finding them. (English to Spanish is a lot easier to find.) Then copy and paste from the online sefer to the translation website and it will be in English.
When I subbed in Bushwick I had kids who only spoke Spanish. I got articles from Time for Kids and translated them into Spanish that way. I even wrote questions in English and translated them that way. Thus the kids read stuff in Spanish but I new what they were reading so it bridged the language gap.

freelang.net has free human translation for shorter (ie don't send in a book) pieces.

This is cool: Sifrei Kodesh Search for Firefox

wow.

Can someone give us feedback after trying it out? I'm curious to know if I should install it...

Search link. No installation or firefox required.
