=========================================================================================================== Dear Colleagues, I am very sad to inform you of the untimely passing of our dear colleague Marina Korenberg. After working at the Ohio State University Libraries, Marina joined the Library of Congress in 2003 and worked in the African/Middle Eastern Acquisition Section, then the Hebraica Section, and most recently in the Israel and Judaica (IJ) Section. Marina performed numerous acquisitions and bibliographic access duties, including initial bibliographic control (IBC) record creation and copy cataloging for a wide range of materials in numerous languages such as Hebrew and Russian. Marina was the Section's expert in the processing of audio-visual materials and gifts and exchange materials. She carefully maintained statistics of exchange partners and authored letters of acknowledgments to donors. Marina nurtured warm relationships with colleagues in many areas of the Library and was always willing to help whenever she could. Marina was a lively and active participant in IJ Section meetings, always offering her insights into our work flows and suggestions on how they could be improved. Marina was extremely active in the profession of Hebraica and Judaica librarianship. She regularly attended the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) annual conferences and participated in the Israel and Judaica Section's presentations at the conference. At the time of her passing, Marina was Co-President of the Capital Area Chapter of the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL/CAC). Marina cared deeply about professional standards and about the profession as a whole. Marina will be greatly missed. We offer our deepest condolences to Marina's family, friends, and colleagues. The funeral service for Marina will take place on Sunday, January 18, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the Sagel Bloomfield Funeral Care - Danzansky-Goldberg Memorial Chapels, 1170 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852, (301) 340-1400. The interment will follow the funeral services at approximately 2:00 p.m. at Parklawn Memorial Park, 12800 Veirs Mill Road, Rockville, MD 20853 (301) 881-2151. May her memory be for a blessing. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory of Marina to the Association of Jewish Libraries Scholarship Fund, c/o AJL National Treasurer Debbie Stern, 502 Arbutus Street, Philadelphia, PA 19119. Condolence cards may be sent to Marina's husband, Don Dillin at 10401 Grosvenor Place, Apartment # 1625, Rockville, MD 20852 or via e-mail at dondil...@gmail.com<mailto:dondil...@gmail.com> and to Marina's parents, Jacob and Lucy Korenberg at 129 South Findlay Street, York, PA 17402.
