[ha-Safran] Looking for a library volunteer from 1993

2024-05-07 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear ha-Safran readers,

I was approached by someone who is looking for a Herta Weil, who may have been
the one mentioned in this excerpt from Marcia Posner’s article in Judaica
Librarianship 7 (1–2), ”Jewish Children’s Literature Around the World: A
Survey”
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://doi.org/10.14263/7/1993/605__;!!KGKeukY!yMzW5DrDJ_mzKsYeh826p_D5DQtXUHQH0FVa2uK4UzCRDnlKykGEHkCha9hLR_-vBTkAuES94p9Q39Cdg14kSP233pR4IKc$
):

Austria has a Jewish population of 12,000, out of a total population of
7,552,000. An issue of Aufbau (January 6, 1989), contained an article
(thoughtfully translated by a library volunteer, Mrs. Herta Weil) about a new
Judaica Bookstore, "Buchhandlung Chaj," in Vienna's 2nd District, the
Leopoldstadt, at Lessingstrasse 5, next to the Jewish Gymnasium. It was
established by Friedericke Stern-Heller, a trained bookseller since 1949, who
was frequently asked by friends and acquaintances to provide them with Jewish
literature. The bookstore's collection includes picture-books and literature
for young people. All the books are by Jewish authors with "direct connection
to Jewry and the State of Israel" (Judische, 1989). Correspondence with Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest M. Stern resulted in a list of more than forty-two titles of
children's books carried by their store, many originally written in German, the
rest translated. All but two were published by Austrian publishers, including
Zeit fur die Hora (Time for the Hora; Arena, 1989), by Ingeborg Bayer, who is
not Jewish, which was awarded the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German
Children's Literature Prize) 1989 and was also an IBBY Honor Book. Mr. Stern
wrote that he still discovers small publishers who produce Jewish literature,
and he provided me with other contacts in Switzerland and Germany. (pp. 11–12)

If anyone knows anything about Herta Weil, please contact me off list.

Thank you,
Rachel

With thanks and gratitude to the members of this year's committee: Dora Ho, 
Skip Dye, Keahiahi S. Long, Shay Ramsey-Martin and Robin Sofge and to ALA. 
Thank you for recognizing me, but much more importantly for recognizing Jewish 
advocacy work as significant and worth awarding.
With deep thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz, who has been my partner for so much of 
this Jewish book equity work. I am so proud of the projects and communities we 
have created.
Also thank you to my colleagues at ALA and the Association of Jewish Libraries 
and to everyone in the library, bookselling and publishing fields who have been 
so supportive of Jewish books. Thank you to my synagogue colleagues and library 
patrons, who I have been working for.
I am also honored to be recognized for my mentoring. That is truly an important 
part of my professional life and I am so proud of my mentees and what they have 
accomplished.
I really feel this is a group award, for all the work we have done together, to 
expand the world of Jewish books for all Jewish and non-Jewish readers. We have 
done so much... and we have so much more to do.

The Association of Jewish
Libraries
(AJL) is proud to announce that longtime member Rachel Leket-Mor has been
named the 2023 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner. The award, named for the
librarian, social activist, and founder of National Jewish Book Month, is
bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing contributions to the AJL and to
the profession of Judaica librarianship.

Rachel Leket-Mor began her career as a Hebrew language editor at publishing
houses in Israel. She edited translated fiction, scholarly articles, and
monographs, mostly related to Jewish history, political science, and holocaust
studies, in collaboration with authors, translators, and in-house editors. She
began at Arizona State University (ASU) Library in 2002, first as the Jewish
studies bibliographer, building collections, supporting curriculum and
research, and providing specialized reference assistance. After two years in
this position, she worked as a subject librarian for Jewish studies, religious
studies, philosophy, and medieval and Renaissance studies until 2017 and is
currently the open stack collections curator. In this role, she provides
leadership for the selection, management, and disposition of print collections
and openly accessible resources. She also works with, trains, and guides
selectors on purchasing materials. She holds two master’s degrees, a Master in
Information Resources and Library Science from University of Arizona and an MA
in Translation Studies from Tel Aviv University.

Rachel’s involvement with the AJL began when she joined the Association in 2003
as a new Judaica librarian. Her professional involvement in the Association
began in 2007, when she co-chaired that year’s annual conference in Scottsdale,
Arizona, with Haim Gottschalk. The following year, she was elected vice
president of AJL’s Research, Archives, and Special Collections Division (RAS),
serving alongside RAS President Jim Rosenbloom (2008–2010). As RAS president
(2010–2012), she collaborated with Schools, Synagogues, and Centers Division
President Joyce Levine to conduct a member survey to study trends in Judaica
libraries and anticipate future developments across the AJL divisions. The
survey results, including the number of librarians in AJL libraries, their
educational level, age and years of service, and retirement plans, were used in
AJL strategic and leadership organizational planning. Rachel served on several
AJL strategic planning committees, from 2008 to 2010 and from 2013 to 2016, and
has served on the AJL Council since 2007 and on the Association’s Constitution
and Bylaws Committee since 2022.

In 2012, Rachel became the editor of Judaica Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed
journal. A year later, she transferred the print-only publication to electronic
publishing, set up the electronic platform and a new peer-review process,
designed a new textual “nusaḥ,” and acquired the Adobe InDesign skills needed
for the production of scholarly works. She arranged for each issue to become
open access 12 months after publication and moved the journal to complete open
access when shifting it to a new electronic platform with the Open Journal
Systems in early 2020. Opening the journal to all resulted in a significantly
increased number of readers and better exposure to AJL. For the journal’s
fortieth anniversary this year, she has led an AJL volunteer team in a project
to upload the remainder of the journal’s back issues, following prior success
with making volumes 9–16/17 available online.

[ha-Safran] Help needed: an image from Beverly Brodsky's children's book

2023-04-24 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL friends,

As I complete the metadata for cover images of Judaica Librarianship’s back 
issues, based on descriptions printed in these issues (but not on their 
covers), I encountered a problem and need some help.

The cover image for Volume 1:2 (Spring 
1984) is probably from one of Beverly Brodsky's children's books, but the note 
referring to it in Marcia Posner’s interview with the artist (p. 104) is not 
too informative:

In The Golem, Brodsky has contrasted broad areas of deep, harmonious 
earthtones, with dramatic and explosive complementary colors. The stark white 
of the page is used almost as a color in itself. “It's a device to give form 
and shape to the content,” she says. This important device was used in Sedna 
(Viking, 1975) and Jonah (Lippincott, 1977) as well. (See cover photo - Ed.)

The image is most probably from The Golem, but none of the images I can access 
online match the one featured on the that volume cover. The book is availed in 
a remote storage at my library and will take a couple of days to arrive. Can 
anyone who owns the book take a look at it and let me know?

Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] All back issues of Judaica Librarianship are online (1–22)

2023-04-19 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL members,

I am excited to share with you that the JL back issues upload project is 
completed! All back issued of Judaica Librarianship, starting with the first 
one, are available online at 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org__;!!KGKeukY!3X5CZ0tcw4snTh3XZbLpquvvNQejlDpmb0wTn88UyXgOgIgVr7tp34Ti6WVOPEbLm22c76WzknQCeK8GlZc2guFhzBowKSc$
 , under Archvies.

Many, many thanks to the dedicated team of volunteers who helped me prepare the 
PDF’d articles for publication and generate article-level metadata (listed 
alphabetically): Sharon Benamou, Lili Brown, Yossi Galron, Ilka Gordon, Uri 
Kolodney, Konstanze Kunst, Amalia Levi, Yahm Levin, Michelle Margolis, Nancy 
Sack, Hannah Srour, and Sheryl Stahl. Thank you!!!

Another big thank-you goes to the wonderful JL editorial board, especially 
Zachary Baker, Arthur Kiron, Annette Goldsmith, and Jim Rosenbloom, for their 
sound advice. Lastly, none of it would have been possible without the digitized 
files, an undertaking headed by Laurel Wolfson at HUC years ago.

Just in time for the fortieth anniversary of AJL’s peer-reviewed Judaica 
Librarianship, all back issues of the journal are available online. Read 
away!... Share any articles (don’t forget to cite… see a formatted citation + 
DOI/URL under “how to cite” on each article page)—and please, please, please 
let me know if you spot any problems, so I can fix them.

Congratulations, AJLers!

[ha-Safran] Compiler for Scatter of the Literature column

2023-01-30 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL members,

I am looking for a new compiler for Judaica Librarianship’s column, Scatter of 
the Literature.

The compiler will need to monitor the publication of new articles, books, 
dissertations, etc. related to Jewish studies librarianship and collect them 
using the 
Zotero citation manager. A list generated from Zotero will be then edited and 
prepared for publication in Judaica Librarianship, see the latest column here:

Dear Judaica Librarians:

I am the Library Liaison for the International Association of Jewish

comprehensive list of reference books in Jewish Genealogy and add it
to the Library section of the IAJGS website.  Do you know of any good
lists to start with?  I can add on from there.  I am not including
how-to books or Yizkor Books.  Yizkor books are already in a database

Re: [ha-Safran] Charlotte's Web book in Hebrew?

2023-01-23 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Hi Wendie,

E. B. White’s Charlotte's Web was translated twice into Hebrew. Once in 2007 by 
Zohar Shavit (a professor for Hebrew literature and cultural history), under 
the title Ḥaṿat ha-ḳesamim (Magical Farm; Zemorah-Bitan), and then in 2018 
by Rana Werbin, under the title ha-Reshet shel Sharloṭ (Oḳiyanus: Modan).

Both translations are available at Harvard Library, the first one also at
Minuteman Library 
Network and the second one also at NYPL.

I hope that helps,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] JL back issues uploading project

2023-01-03 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear all,

Thank you for the many congratulating emails on the publication of Judaica
Librarianship’s new issue! Kudos to all authors! Feel free to share the
articles widely, using the metadata page (title link), not just the PDFs.

Here is the “other exciting news” I promised to share: the final 10 back issues
of the journal will be batch-uploaded to the JL site next month. It’s exciting
because those old issues contain hundreds of articles that tell the story of
AJL, from the time that the publication served both as the scholarly journal
and the newsletter of the association.

The data ingestion, funded by AJL, will be performed by Open Journal Systems
who operates the JL site. I have a spreadsheet that contains all the needed
fields as well as the files themselves, graciously scanned by Hebrew Union
College years ago.

Since I became JL’s editor in 2012, I uploaded 10 back issues. I just can’t do
it by myself anymore. All I need is a few more volunteers to help me record the
article metadata and handle the OCR and renaming of the files. Please contact
me privately if you can spare a few hours this month (January 2023) to get this
project going. Let’s get it done!

Thank you,
Rachel

I enjoyed interacting with so many of you over more than three decades. I would 
especially like to thank the industrious Hebraica catalogers for their work,

good work!

Happy Holidays,

[ha-Safran] New issue of Judaica Librarianship, December 2022

2022-12-01 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL members,

The previous issue of Judaica 
Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed journal was published during the height of the COVID 
pandemic in 2020. The pause in publishing caused by COVID-related drawbacks is 
almost over… Please watch your email for a note about the publication of JL 22 
in the next few weeks.

Volume 22 addresses the question of provenance in Jewish libraries and archives 
on multiple levels, presenting possible solutions to ethical considerations 
concerning the origin of individual items or complete collections. These issues 
are explored in a number of research articles, essays, and reviews. Other 
topics covered in this volume are Jewish bookstores, children's literature, 
libraries catering to or reviewed by Yiddish readers, and last but not least 
our own association, with one essay about Judaica catalogers and another on 
AJL’s copping with COVID as an organization. The 2-year gap is summarized in 
our digital humanities and literature review columns, and a tribute to Heidi 
Lerner.

I thank Nancy Sack for volunteering her crucial copyediting services to JL and 
Nadav Sharon for his editorial assistance.

Work on Volume 23 is underway as well, continuing to focus on issues of 
provenance. Please check JL’s 
About page for the journal’s focus and scope: we are interested in publishing 
high-quality papers and essays about Jewish informational literacy, development 
and management of Judaica collections, curation and dissemination of 
information resources, book history and bibliography, and related fields. For 
questions and consultations, please contact me.

To be continued later this month –
Rachel

[ha-Safran] For SSCPL librarians: card-to-mobile game to teach about Mishneh Torah

2022-11-03 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Hello everyone,

This book chapter may be of interest to SSCPL librarians, especially in high
schools. I don’t know anything about this teaching tool, just found the
citation.

Gottlieb, O, & Clybor, S. (2022). “Collaborative Constructions: Designing High
School History Curriculum with the Lost & Found Game Series.” In R. Houghton
(Ed.), Teaching the Middle Ages through ModernGgames: Using, Modding and
Creating Games for Education and Impact (pp. 131-154). De Gruyter.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110712032-007__;!!KGKeukY!yd9s7D5XG2mz8jFL-p0VcpzdiQigGItAazE6pKZo-0FuQ2lnx1_y_6CFxhx6aq43rSnyWJjloJtUZ90b4ADQJuYQ9Ut0foOZZnZ8YHQP-4M$

Abstract: This chapter addresses design research and iterative curriculum
design for the Lost & Found games series. The Lost & Found card-to-mobile
series is set in Fustat (Old Cairo) in the twelfth century and focuses on
religious laws of the period. The first two games focus on Moses Maimonides’
Mishneh Torah, a key Jewish law code. A new expansion module which was in
development at the time of the fieldwork described in this article that
introduces Islamic laws of the period, and a mobile prototype of the initial
strategy game has been developed with support National Endowment for the
Humanities. The series pays close attention to period details and provides
numerous entry points for curriculum. Featured at the 2019 Smithsonian American
Museum of Art (SAAM) Arcade, winner of the best non-digital game at
International Meaningful Play, and a Bronze medal winner at the International
Serious Play competition, these games combine engaging table-top play across
game genres with opportunities to learn about medieval religious history. The
first game in the series is a strategy game which combines competitive and
collaborative play as players make tradeoff decisions to balance the needs of
their family with needs of the wider community. The second game in the series
is a party game which focuses on legal reasoning. This chapter addresses
approaching learning environments, from design with experts and playtests with
learners to participant observation and narrative reports at a high school
where the game is being used to teach history. Crucial to learning games is the
way in which they relate to, are interwoven with, and are ultimately embedded
in curriculum, especially learning outcomes and objectives. This chapter will
examine strategies and processes that explore that interweaving.

Thanks,
Rachel

collections frame the main theme of this issue, but it contains a verity of 
other topics as well, relevant to both divisions of AJL.

Judaica Librarianship Editorial Board met earlier this month for its annual 
meeting to discuss, among other things, a call for papers for JL 23. We call 
your attention to the fact that the journal will celebrate 40 years of activity 
in 2023(!).Your creative ideas on how to celebrate this milestone in form of 
journal submissions are needed—please let me know how you would like to 
contribute to this issue. I look forward to discussing any ideas you may have!

In addition, JL would welcome submissions on the following topics:


  *   Provenance of entire collections or specific items, and theoretical 
approaches to provenance in Jewish libraries (continued from issue #22)
  *   Digital preservation of and access to Judaica collections
  *   Outreach in Jewish libraries
  *   Cataloging as a research process, including any challenges (entire 
collections or specific items)
  *   Judaica collections in Ukraine
  *   Jewish libraries after COVID


A big thank-you to JL Editorial Board members for their continuing support and 
guidance, and special thanks to Roger Kohn who served on the board for 18 years!

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship back issues upload project

2022-06-17 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear all,

Uploading a few back issues of Judaica Librarianship to the journal’s site 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/index.php/jl/issue/archive__;!!KGKeukY!xhQeqNWZnA2phHJXmW-G-mogqO8yWEUPxcL2lMYAOw-SeWjwXAHUTWY9KIHNw2yI9yZBM6PpJj90c5YnOH4AeaGD4iJzGmbc9D3lEm43stE$
 ) convinced me finally that the scope of this project is just too much for one 
person. I am asking the help of a few AJL members, preferably catalogers, who 
would be willing to capture the metadata of about 300 files representing back 
issues #1–6 of AJL’s peer-reviewed journal, Judaica Librarianship.

The volunteers should have a good grasp of metadata creation and controlled 
vocabulary and be ready to work collaboratively on a google sheet. Once I have 
this spreadsheet filled out, I will upload these back issues to the site.

I would also appreciate the help of those who have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro, 
to help me with text recognition and other PDF editing functions of the scanned 
files.

Back issues (~300 files, including cover art)

  *   6 (1992): 44 files
  *   5:2 (1991): 19 files
  *   5:1 (1990): 40 files
  *   4:2 (1989): 36 files
  *   4:1 (1988): 40 files
  *   3 (1987): 40 files
  *   2 (1985): 31 files
  *   1:2 (1984): 24 files
  *   1:1 (1983): 17 files


I am happy to answer any questions – by email, phone, Zoom, or in-person in 
Philadelphia.

Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship: call for co-editor

2022-06-17 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear all,

This June marks the 10th anniversary of my involvement in AJL’s peer-reviewed 
journal, Judaica Librarianship. This voluntary editorship position, my Service 
to AJL, has given me a lot of intellectual satisfaction and personal joy but is 
also wearing me out at this point.

This is a call for a co-editor who would join me in editing the association’s 
journal. The co-editor would need to be a published author of scholarly 
work(s), have some experience with text editing, and demonstrate good 
communication skills and ability to work collaboratively.

I look forward to sharing the joys of scholarly production and keeping the 
legacy of AJL’s peer-reviewed journal—please let me know if interested! I am 
happy to further discuss what this Service to AJL entails. Please contact me 
via email, phone, Zoom, or see me during the AJL Conference in Philadelphia.

Thank you,
Rachel

The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces
the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner

The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime 
member Lisa Silverman has been named the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award 
Winner. The award, named for the librarian, social activist, and founder of 
National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing 
contributions to the Association of Jewish Libraries and to the profession of 
Judaica librarianship.

Lisa Silverman began her career as a day school librarian at the Sinai Akiba 
Academy in Los Angeles and Adat Ari El Day School in Valley Village, 
California. She spent 15 years as the library director at Sinai Temple in Los 
Angeles, providing library services and educational programming for the day 
school, religious school, and synagogue community including teaching adult 
education classes, facilitating book groups, and hosting author events, family 
programs, and film discussions. In 2015, Lisa became the library director of 
the Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library at the American Jewish University 
in Los Angeles where she designed the new space, built the collection, and 
provided extensive programming. She also developed and launched a new online 
digital Jewish Community Library Consortium of California in partnership with 
the Jewish Community Library of San Francisco.

Lisa’s involvement with the Association of Jewish Libraries began when she 
attended her first conference in Los Angeles in 1992, and she has made 
countless contributions to the organization and the profession over the past 30

[ha-Safran] Vol. 7 of Judaica Librarianship (1993) is online

2021-11-16 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL members,

I am happy to announce that another back issue of Judaica Librarianship is now 
available on the JL journal platform at 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/__;!!KGKeukY!ntVxHgRGJERtTwwRA4uHHXCj4d58rN0v3CpKkmezskfjfZQXUxl6vwDtJwgzGj7dlGPgRpNwkVn8cV0$
  (go to Archives on the top to access back issues).

Volume 7 was published in 1993 and included a special section (50 pages) that 
celebrated the first international symposium on Jewish children's literature. 
The symposium was organized by Marcia Posner as a subsidiary to the 1990 AJL 
conference which took place in Jerusalem – the only AJL meeting in Israel. In 
addition to articles about children’s literature in different countries, the 
rich volume (144 pages), co-edited by Bella Hass Weinberg and Posner, included 
articles on cataloging, Jewish archives, day school and synagogue libraries, 
and Sydney Taylor/ Reference award speeches.

Please let me know if you have any metadata corrections, I can fix them easily. 
The hard part in finding time to upload back issues with the initial metadata 
apparatus for each item (37 of them in this volume)… but I hope to get back to 
it soon, for the last 6 print-only issues going back to 1983. :)

Judaica Librarianship is the peer-reviewed journal of AJL. If you are 
interested in contributing to the next issue, which is underway, please see the 
About section for journal focus scope and submissions. The 2022 issue is 
co-edited by myself and Nadav Sharon of University of Toronto, who kindly 
joined me in pursuit of this important service. Thank you, Nadav! Many thanks 
to JL copyeditor Nancy Sack!

Thank you,
Rachel

The first episode, available now, features Mary Marks, author of the Quilting

quilting friends seem to bump into dead bodies with alarming frequency. 
Luckily, they are able use their observational skills, intuition, and 
persistence to "help" the police catch the killers. In this wide-ranging 
conversation, host Sheryl Stahl and Mary Marks discuss Jewish practice, the 
representation of female characters, social action, and finding love in your

In episode two, available in November, Nice Jewish Books will be joined by 
Talia Carner, whose novels tackle subjects as varied as human trafficking, 
Russia after the fall of Communism, Jerusalem at the end of the Ottoman Empire, 
and more.
Host Sheryl Stahl, library director at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of

April, 2021 -- The Association of Jewish Libraries encourages the publication 
of outstanding works of Judaica reference and bibliography through its annual 
awards.

We are pleased to announce the following awards:

  *   Bibliography award: Stone, Gerald K. Catalog of the Gerald K. Stone 
Collection of Judaica: A Bibliographical Resource for Canadian Jewish Studies. 
Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2020.
  *   Reference award: Udel, Miriam. Honey on the Page: A Treasury of Yiddish 
Children’s Literature. Forward by Jack Zipes. New York: NYU Press, 2020.
  *   Honorary mention (Reference): Barsky, Zvi. Ḥanut ṿe-taṿit: mokhre sefarim 
be-Erets Yiśraʼel, 1870-1948 (English title: Making a Mark: Booksellers in 
Palestine, 1870-1948). Jerusalem: Mi-neged hotsaʼah la-or, 2019.

This year’s awardees exemplify AJL’s mission to foster and promote access to 
information, learning, teaching and research.

AJL’s Reference and Bibliography Committee agree that Catalog of The Gerald K. 
Stone Collection of Judaica will serve as a valuable and fascinating resource 
for scholars of Canadian Jewry. In this monumental work, Gerald Stone has 
organized, indexed, and annotated his collection of nearly 6,000 printed items 
relating to myriad aspects of Jewish life in Canada. Honey on the Page (title 
and charming cover illustration notwithstanding) is a scholarly work that will 
serve as an important reference for researchers in numerous fields, not least 
of which is the burgeoning study of children's literature. The notes on 
translation will be of great interest to scholars of Yiddish. And of course, 
children, both at home and in religious schools, will also enjoy the stories! 
Ḥanut ṿe-taṿit (Making a Mark) is a powerful reference tool not just for 
librarians, but also for researchers as well as for booksellers themselves. At 
the same time, it reads as a narrative of the adventures and misadventures of 
book traders in Palestine (Yehezkel Steimatzky among them) before the 
establishment of the State of Israel. This beautiful work will entertain 
experts and amateurs alike.

For their commitment and continuing support of these awards, AJL would like to 
recognize and thank Dr. Greta Silver of New York (Reference Award) and Mr. Eric 
Kline of Santa Monica (Bibliography Award).

[ha-Safran] Mutilated medieval manuscripts

2021-04-12 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear colleagues,

I am posting for a friend – please respond to her directly (see email below).

Thank you,
Rachel



For an article on the intentional mutilation of medieval manuscripts, I am 
interested to learn about manuscripts in which miniatures or word panels have 
been removed, blank borders have been cut out, folios have been torn, slashed 
with razors, or otherwise suffered intentional damage?  In addition, I am 
curious if anyone knows of miniatures or word panels that survive independent 
of their original manuscripts, of any evidence up to the present time that 
miniatures or word panels served as gifts or as decoration on the walls of 
homes, or of incidents of manuscripts being cut up to harvest parchment for 
tefillin or mezuzot.

Thank you!

This is very exciting.  Kudos to Univ Penn, you Arthur and other staff and 
faculty, for recognizing the value and importance of the rapidly growing 
intersection of digital humanities technology and Jewish Studies.  Emily's role 
is so crucial in guiding current and future scholars to utilize these tools to

[ha-Safran] FW: 2020 Collections Forum Survey

2020-09-23 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL colleagues,

Please see below for a message from the Collections Forum Planning Team and 
fill out the survey by October 5. AJL is an active member of this coalition.

Thank you,
Rachel


On August 17, a coalition of area studies information professionals from 16 
national organizations published their statement, "Equity and Access in Higher 
Education and Academic Libraries Amid the COVID-19 
Pandemic.”
 This statement represents shared areas of concern and recommendations on how 
to alleviate challenges faced by academic marginalized communities of color, 
people with disabilities, and students from rural and low-income areas. Well 
over 283 librarians, students, faculty, academic organizations, executive 
boards and committees, and professional organizations have endorsed this 
statement.

As follow-up to this joint effort, the coalition of area studies information 
professionals are planning a one-day collections forum in late November or 
early December to explore topics related to the Statement. We hope area studies 
librarians, administrators, catalogers and metadata specialists, collection 
development librarians, representatives from digital repositories, scholarly 
communication librarians, and others will be able to participate in this event.

Please complete the survey below and share your ideas with us. We need your 
support and guidance in shaping these discussions.

[ha-Safran] Archivists at local Jewish historical societies

2020-09-04 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear all,

I am posting for a faculty member. Please respond to him directly (email below) 
and forward this note to colleagues at local Jewish historical societies, if 
you know any:

For a book I am co-authoring on local Jewish historical societies I am seeking 
also to learn about the professional connections of the employees of those 
groups. There is no national organization bringing together local Jewish 
historical societies. Societies that also are connected to museums have the 
opportunity to connect professionally through CAJM (Council of American Jewish 
Museums.) Archivists of local Jewish historical societies could connect 
professionally through AJL.

I am seeking to determine whether any archivists employed by local Jewish 
historical societies do belong to AJL and network through it. I would welcome 
hearing from you at joel.gereb...@asu.edu.


Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] AJL online conference

2020-07-03 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear AJL online 2020 Conference Committee,

Thank you so much for (re)organizing and producing, in such a short time, the 
AJL online conference!

I can only attest to the RAS sessions I attended (no double dipping in this 
format!), which were all outstanding. Thank you, Michelle and Amalia for 
putting the new program together and bringing in so many international 
attendees whose voice is rarely heard in our annual meetings. The RAS awards 
session also benefitted from this format and we can probably use it in the 
future.

Congratulations to all presenters, the new Fanny Goldstein Merit Award winner 
Zachary Baker, and the RAS Lifetime Achievement Award winner Robert Singerman. 
Welcome, new new Board and Council members.

Kol ha-kavod!!!

Dear AJL members,

The new open access issue of Judaica Librarianship is out – I did my best to 
finish the work before or during the conference but let it be an after-party 
treat.

Congratulations to all the authors(!) and thanks to the anonymous reviewers and 
JL’s editorial board for their support: Zachary Baker, Annette Goldsmith, 
Rachel Heuberger, Rebecca Jefferson, Arthur Kiron, Roger Kohn, and Jim 
Rosenbloom. Special thanks are due to Nancy Sack, JL’s remarkable copyeditor 
who contributed so much to this issue.

The URL of JL is still at https://ajlpublishing.org  but no login is needed, 
unless you would like to get email notifications. It was wonderful seeing so 
many of you on Zoom at the AJL online conference – please keep in touch with JL 
by reading and spreading the word (social media share buttons are at the bottom 
of article pages).

Keep safe –
Rachel

Dear Safranim,

Please join me in welcoming Megan Shulman to our AJL News and Reviews team! 
Megan is one of our new co-editors for children's/teen's reviews.

Here is Megan's "hello" to you all:

My name is Megan Shulman, and I am, after many years of being involved with our 
synagogue’s leadership team and community, newly Jew-by-Choice. I am a 
transplant to the Deep South by way of New York, and enjoy learning about the 
diverse historical Jewish experience in our rural city in West Tennessee. I 
have fifteen years of experience as a school librarian, but have also worked as 
both a public and academic librarian. I have a passion for diverse, quality 
Jewish children’s and young adult literature. I am recently disabled, and make 
my home in the tiny town of Medina, Tennessee with my five year old son Calvin 
and my husband Andrew. I am very excited to soon be serving the AJL!

Wishing you all Shabbat Shalom,
Sally

Dear safaranim,

It is with great pleasure that I ask you to join me in welcoming our newest AJL 
member and AJL News and Reviews team member, Ellen Drucker-Albert. I have known 
Ellen for three years; we work together on a local committee called "Long 
Island Reads"  and she is always great to work with!
Ellen will be joining us as a co-editor for Children's and Teen Reviews and 
working with fellow co-editors Chava and Lisa as Chava transitions to stepping 
away from her role at News and Reviews, after a significant tenure on our team, 
to focus on new endeavors.

I've asked Ellen to "introduce herself" in a short blurb:


It is my absolute pleasure to be joining AJL’s News and Reviews team as 
co-editor for Children's/Teen's Reviews. I am excited to return to my “roots.” 
I began my librarianship career about 25 years ago at the Solomon Schechter Day 
School of Suffolk County on Long Island, NY, where I assisted in the creation 
of their school library, and served as their Librarian, sharing my passion for 
Children’s and Teen literature. Jewish education was, and remains an important 
part of my career path. I taught elementary through high school age groups at 
the Solomon Schechter Day School, Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, the high school 
programs at the Suffolk Hebrew Midrasha Academy and the Ivry Prozdor High 
School of the Jewish Theological Seminary. I provided instruction in subjects 
ranging from Bible, Jewish literature, film, Constitutional law and Jewish 
ethics. I am also an attorney admitted in the State of New York, and have been 
a grader for the NY Board of Law Examiners since 1999.


Currently, I am the Adult & Information Services Manager at the Cold Spring 
Harbor Library & Environmental Center. I serve as a member of the Long Island 
Reads Committee, an Island-wide reading initiative intended to bring readers 
together to discuss one book and participate in related programming. I moderate 
a monthly book discussion at the Cold Spring Harbor Library. I enjoy providing 
readers’ advisory services to my Rabbi recommending titles for his book 
discussions at the synagogue and participating in these Jewish-themed 
discussions.


I am looking forward to contributing to the mission of the AJL promoting Jewish 
literacy and am appreciative of this opportunity to promote and encourage the 
engagement with Jewish literature for Children and Teens!



Ellen Drucker-Albert



Please join me in welcoming Ellen to our community.


Best,
Sally

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We have the distinct honor and pleasure of announcing that the 2020 recipient 
of the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award is Zachary M. Baker.

Zachary Baker provided over four decades of dedicated and scholarly service to 
the field of Judaica librarianship and the Association of Jewish Libraries 
beginning in 1976 at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York City as 
a cataloger of Yiddish books until 1981 as well as a genealogical reference 
librarian beginning around 1978.  From 1981 to 1987, he worked at the Montreal 
Jewish Public Library and was appointed as its head of technical services circa 
1983.  From 1987-1999, Zachary returned to YIVO as Head Librarian.  Most 
recently, he served as Reinhard Family Curator of Judaica and Hebraica 
Collections in the Stanford University Libraries from 1999-2018, a position 
from which he retired in January 2018.  In addition, from 2010 until his 
retirement, he was the Stanford Libraries’ Assistant University Librarian for 
Collection Development for the Humanities and Social Sciences.  He has 
published numerous articles and bibliographies relating to Yiddish and other 
areas of Jewish studies.

Zachary has been a very active member of AJL for as long as any of us can 
remember--he attended his first AJL conference in 1976.  Among his many 
positions in AJL, he was president of the association from 1994-1996.  He was a 
leading member of the local AJL Annual Convention organizing committee before, 
during, and following this event in 2005 when it took place in Oakland, 
California.  He was also a longtime contributing editor and editor-in-chief of 
Judaica Librarianship.  Zachary received an AJL Judaica Reference honorable 
mention in 2018 for “Resources in Yiddish 
Studies”
 published in: In Geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies.

Zachary is not only the consummate Judaica librarian but a leading scholar of 
all things Judaic and is especially well-versed in Yiddish studies.  His 
contributions to AJL and the field are so abundant, it would be difficult to 
even begin to take stock of them.  He presented numerous papers at AJL 
Conferences over the years, virtually annually, before his retirement.

On October 9. 2018, “Zachary M. Baker Presented with the Albert Nelson Marquis 
Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who's 
Who.
  He has been endorsed by Marquis Who's Who as a leader in the field of library 
science.”  Mazel-tov, yasher-koyekh, kol ha-kavod, and congratulations to 
Zachary who is a most worthy recipient of the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award.

2020 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Committee

** * ** *
The Fanny Goldstein Merit Award, named for the librarian, social activist, and 
founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and 
ongoing contributions to the Association of Jewish Libraries and to the 
profession of Jewish librarianship.

Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life 
to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the 
first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of 
Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston 
Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which 
began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public 
Library in 1925.

Mazal tov to Heidi ! I can’t think of a more deserving mover and shaker of 
KIdilit.
I add my gratitude to the Kar-Ben publishing.  .  It is so appropriate that the 
publishers of books that are on the shelves of so many synagogue, school or 
center libraries will support librarians who work with and advocate for the 
readers of those very books. Below please see the ctitera:


  *   Active involvement in the Judaic library profession or related fields 
promoting Jewish children’s literacy
  *   Strong advocacy for library/literacy services to children and youth
  *   Positive role model to colleagues and the wider community
  *   Innovative approaches to Jewish children’s literature or library services



Heidi’s activities  meet all the conditions listed above.

Dear AJLers,

It is my honor and pleasure to inform the AJL Community that Heidi Rabinowitz, 
host at Book of Life Podcast and librarian at Congregation B'nai Israel in Boca 
Raton, FL, is the winner of the 2020 Groner-Wikler Scholarship. This 
scholarship, generously underwritten by KarBen Publishing, is presented to an 
AJL member who demonstrates dedication to Jewish children's literature and 
library services.

Heidi's passion for Jewish kidlit and spreading the word far and wide using 
many different venues and formats impressed the Scholarship Committee. Please 
join me in congratulating Heidi on her winning this scholarship.

We thank Joni Sussman and KarBen Publishing for their generosity in enabling 
our community to have extraordinary librarians like Heidi join us at our 
conferences.

We are looking forward to seeing her – and all of you - at the AJL Conference 
in Evanston, IL in June.

Re: [ha-Safran] Question about JL

2020-01-11 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Hello Andrea, 

Thank you for your excellent question! 

As a JL author, you get regular notifications about your article downloads from 
Digital Commons (bepress). We do have Google Analytics installed on our site 
and I can send you more information about access to your article (actual 
downloads or visits to the article page). This information is tied to IP 
address associated with the download (academic institutions, commercial bodies, 
or private) as well as the city/country where it came from. We do have readers 
from all over the world, including places that are not particularly known for 
their sympathy for Jewish culture. It is through JL, among other things, that 
AJL achieves its mission to educate and promote information about "all things 
Jewish." 

However, once we leave Digital Commons in a few weeks, our content will be 
transferred to another system and the author dashboard will not be accessible. 
I will let authors know before the content is removed, so they can download any 
past information. The new system will still provide information about JL 
readership, but it will be done differently. I would like to emphasize that all 
the content currently online WILL be available on the new system.

I take this opportunity to thank the many congratulatory emails I received, 
both privately and on ha-Safran. Thank you for your kind words and strong 
support!!! 

Rachel

Dear Jim,

One of the things I most value at AJL is the camaraderie and mentorship that 
takes place in conferences and Council or Board meetings. Unofficially, 
unassumingly, you taught me and others who served with you on AJL leadership 
roles (2008–2012) financial responsibility, paying attention to details, and 
thoughtfulness.

I was grateful when you agreed to join the editorial board of Judaica 
Librarianship in 2012 and am happy that you plan to stay on the editorial 
board, where your professional experience and sound advice are always welcome.

Thank you,
Rachel

Questions,

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship Call for Papers (2020)

2019-08-29 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran

Dear colleagues,

Volume 21 of Judaica Librarianship will be published in November or December of 
this year. I apologize for the long wait, but during my sabbatical I could not 
dedicate much time to the journal. In the meantime, Volume 
20 became freely available which is 
reflected in the high number of article downloads. All back issues uploaded to 
the journal site at https://ajlpublishing.org/jl are now open access and JL 
articles have been downloaded (and hopefully read, too!) almost 35,000 times. 
That’s a good way to get the word out about AJL.

Call for Papers, Volume 22
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Wissenschaft des Judentums 
movement, or the birth of Jewish Studies as an academic discipline. For the 
22nd issue of Judaica Librarianship, the editorial board invites you to submit 
papers on the contribution of libraries and archives, as well as individual 
librarians and archivists or librarian–scholar collaborations, to the scholarly 
field of Jewish Studies. Papers could focus on collection building, in 
particular collections that contributed to the formation and development of 
Jewish studies; description of, and discovery systems for library and archival 
objects, including library catalogs, library guides, archival finding aids, or 
metadata creation for digitized collections; bibliographies or other reference 
tools; reference, research, and instruction services, including online 
tutorials; and library outreach efforts, including interaction with scholars 
and students on social media. Other papers that meet the journal’s scope are 
welcome as well. For JL’s submission guidelines and policies, see the journal 
homepage at https://ajlpublishing.org/jl/; or contact the editor for any 
questions. The deadline is January 31, 2020.

Thank you,
Rachel
