[ha-Safran]: HOMECOMING

2011-11-05 Thread Ruth Diskin
Dear Colleague,



Where does identity come from? And what makes you connected to your home land?



The quest for identity in modern day Israel is beautifully addressed 
in this special documentary.

A universal problem in the world today, Video Librarian calls HOMECOMING:

A provocative and moving study of ethnic identity. And indeed in a 
world where economic migration is rampant – this film is essential 
for your library collection.

As the review goes on to say: the camera follows the three subjects 
on their journeys, and it becomes evident that despite the geographic 
differences, all three countries share the same burdens of grueling 
poverty, a virtually nonexistent infrastructure, and dead-end lives 
for those unable to emigrate.



We are sure that your library patrons will benefit from learning more 
about this

contemporary topic.



The purchase price for university libraries is $300 + shipping 
handling and for public libraries the price is $115 + shipping and handling.

[ha-Safran]: Remodeling libraries for digital age

2011-11-05 Thread Andrea Rapp
I would like to hear from anyone whose library has recently or will 
in the near future be remodeled.  How does the advent of e-publishing 
and the explosion in the number of people who read their books on 
kindles/ipads/ etc. affect your planning, design, furnishings, 
maintenance of print copies, etc?

Hi Etta-
Knowing that you are always up for a challenge...
Do you have any idea how I can get my hands on the chinese translation
of the Pirkei Avot? I have read about it and that the first edition sold
out immediately. I also heard there is a second edition coming out. I
figured you'd know!

[ha-Safran]: New list for students in Judaica Librarianship!!

2011-11-05 Thread Michelle Chesner
There is now a new listserv for students in or interested in Judaica 
Librarianship.
This will be your space for networking, asking questions, making 
friends, and finding resources just for you.
Students are, of course, always welcome on Hasafran, but this can be 
your own space where you can post (nearly) anything.
Recent grads are welcome too!

To join, go here:
