Dear Colleagues, Just in time for Hanukkah! Volume 8 of Judaica Librarianship, originally published in 1994 under the editorship of Bella Hass Weinberg, is now available online for your enjoyment. This back issue holds many excellent articles, papers presented at AJL’s 28th annual convention (1993), acceptance speeches of AJL book awards recipients, book reviews, and more. Feel free to explore the wide-ranging content of this back issue (both SSC and RAS) on http://ajlpublishing.org<http://ajlpublishing.org/> (click on Judaica Librarianship, select this volume from the scroll-down menu on the left, and press Browse): children’s literature (seven articles), Judaica collections in Bulgaria, Germany, Russia, Yeshivat Har Etzion (separate articles); Hebraica book arts; book appraisal; book auctions; the Jewish press in France; three LGBT-related articles; library policy in day schools; Arab-American and Muslim-American books; many cataloging articles; and even more!
Our 2017 issue is shaping up pretty nicely with fantastic articles - the deadline is coming up at the end of December. Last but not least: Producing each volume of Judaica Librarianship depends on the work of the contributing authors, anonymous reviewers, dedicated copy editors, and myself (editing, lay out, and publishing). Creating the content and presenting it professionally rely entirely on our voluntary work, but hosting the journal online and making it discoverable (we’re approaching 20,000 downloads!) cost AJL thousands of dollars annually. If you enjoy reading AJL’s peer-reviewed journal and support its open access mission to make back issues available on the web, please support the association by becoming a member. Your annual $70 (special rates for students, retirees, etc.) supports AJL operations and publications, including Judaica Librarianship. Happy reading and Happy Hanukkah!
