Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce that Volume 18 of Judaica Librarianship is finally published. The journal’s first online issue is available at http://ajlpublishing.org. Mazel Tov to AJL!!!
AJL members should use a combination of their full name and email address to access the full-text articles. If you have any trouble accessing the journal articles, please contact me by replying to this email. Non-member readers of ha-Safran may join the association at http://www.jewishlibraries.org/main/JoinAJL.aspx. At this point, two back issues of the journal are freely available at http://ajlpublishing.org: Vols. 16/17 (2011) and Vol. 15 (2009). Thanks to our Open Access policy regarding back issues, the articles in these volumes have been downloaded more than 4,200 times, thus exceeding the circulation of both the print issues and the reported downloads from database providers. That means that AJL’s impact on the international scholarly community is greater than ever before. Now that Vol. 18 is published, I plan to upload the other back issues of Judaica Librarianship, including Vols. 1–10 that are now digitized thanks to Laurel Wolfson of Klau Library, at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio. The production of Vol. 18 would not have been possible without the authors and anonymous reviewers who contributed their talents and time to the journal; the copyeditors, especially Judy Wolfthal, who helped with polishing the texts; all Editorial Board members, especially past Editor-in-Chief Zachary Baker and Associate Editor for Reviews Jim Rosenbloom, who were extremely helpful; and Nancy Sack and Karen Ulric who assisted with technology-related issues.
