2024-05-16 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Dear Safranim,
I know someone who wrote a story and would like to submit it to Jewish

Thank you.

[ha-Safran] Hebrew readers

2024-02-05 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Our school library has removed many copies of Hebrew readers, mostly from the 
various Gesher series.  The books are in good to brand new condition.  If your 
library or school can use them (list of titles on request), or if you have a 
need for a specific title, please let me know.

[ha-Safran] Library weeding

2024-02-05 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
I am continuing to try to find homes for books that I weeded from the school 
library where I worked for many years (I retired last summer).  Would anyone 
like a collection of Bialik's poems?  The binding is not in great condition, 
but the paper is intact and there are a couple of portraits (covered in tape).  
Or does anyone have an idea who might want this?  I don't want to throw it out.

Re: [ha-Safran] Painful weeding decisions

2023-08-29 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
 I had to do a heavy weeding in all sections of the K-8 school library where I 
worked until my recent retirement.  I also was loathe to weed the the Sholom 
Aleichem, Chaim Potok, etc. titles.  But in the end, I realized that 1. no one 
had checked them out of the library for years, and 2. we are a school library, 
not a library of last resort. If some library has these books in your area (or 
they are easily obtainable through ILL), and they don't circulate, it may be 
time to let them go.

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship and Conference Proceedings

2023-07-26 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
If anyone would like hard copies of Judaica Librarianship (I have copies of 
most issues from vol. 1 - vols. 16/17), they are available for the price of 
postage.
I also have copies of conference proceedings from 1998, 1999, and 2000, and 
possibly one or two others as well.  Any interest?

[ha-Safran] Disposing of weeded books ; books "dumped" on our school

2022-11-30 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
I am the librarian of a K-8 school, and we have many Judaic books, both Hebrew 
and English, that do not get used in our school, or that are duplicates.  After 
offering the volumes in good condition to my colleagues, community members via 
a Facebook group, and select volumes through the Buy, Sell, or Swap Sefarim- in 
memory of Rav Reuven Margolies ztl Facebook group, I am at a dead end.  I hate 
throwing books out / sending them for burial, but I am going to have to do it.  
Any suggestions?  
I also have been the unwilling recipient of many bags of mostly old Hebrew 
books that were literally left in front of our school building when we were 
closed.  After sorting out the books in poor condition, that belonged to 
another library, etc., I am still left with books that it kills me to throw 
out.  There is a limit on how much time I can spend trying to find new homes 
for the books. For instance, a ten volume set of כתבי הרצל was left here. A 
quick check of Worldcat shows that it is owned by four libraries in the U.S.  
If anyone wants it for the price of postage, it's yours.  Otherwise, I have no 
choice but to throw it out.

student, and would like to provide him with a biography on Rav Ovadia Yosef, 
either an audiobook or a book with both print and audio.  Can be in Hebrew or 
English.
If such a thing exists, please let me know off list.

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Children's Holiday Fiction Books Cataloged as Nonfiction

2022-03-21 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
 I put most of the fiction holiday books under the appropriate Elazar holiday 
number.  It makes it much easier for the kids to find them, and for me and the 
teachers to retrieve them as needed.

When cataloging Jewish Children's fiction holiday books do you put
them in fiction or nonfiction with the rest of the holiday books?  I
catalog in Elazar.  I have about 1,600 Children's, Middle Grades and
Teen books in my 4,000 volume library for a Reform Synagogue in
Southern California.

Re: [ha-Safran] looking for a book title

 I believe it is Confessions of a Closet Catholic by Sarah Littman.
Justine Silver, a teenaged middle child, questions her faith when her best 
friend, Mary Catherine McAllister gives up chocolate for Lent, but when her 
grandmother suffers a stroke, Jussy has to face her relationship with religion.

[ha-Safran] Elazar classification number question

2022-01-11 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Hello,
I am cataloging שיחות מוסר by R. Shmuelvitz.  There doesn't seem to be a number 
in Elazar that would work specifically for mussar works.  The index lists 733 
for the Musar Movement, but that would be more appropriate for a historical 
treatment.  What number have you used for similar works?
Thank you.

[ha-Safran] School library size

2021-12-20 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Hello Day School librarians,
I am being asked to reduce the size of my collection, and wanted to know how 
large your K-8 or K-6 collections are (in volumes), and what your enrollment 
is.  I would guess that a day school library would be larger than a public 
school library with a similar enrollment, since we have a double curriculum to 
support.

[ha-Safran] What to do with these books?

2021-04-06 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Dear friends,
I am looking at a major weed of Judaic books, mostly older and rarely used in 
our K-8 library, over the next year or so.  Any suggestions on what to do with 
the following?
Graetz.  History of the Jews. Jewish Publication Society of America, 1891-1898. 
 6 vols., good-fair condition.
Goldberg, Israel and Samson Benderly.  Outline of Jewish Knowledge.  New York, 
Bureau of Jewish Education, 1929.  3 vols.. good condition.
Is there a dealer that would be interested in these?  Any other ideas?
Thank you.

[ha-Safran] Day School collection development policies

Recently, I sent out a request on Hasafran for day school collection policies.  
Any policies that are sent to me will be added to the AJL website at some 
point.  Since only one school shared their policy with me, I am making a second 
request.  Sharing your policy will ultimately benefit other day schools. 
Thanks!

[ha-Safran] Day School Libraries - reopening survey

2020-08-03 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran

Here is a summary of the nine responses to my Google Form survey that was sent 
out on Hasafran (eight from day schools, one from a synagogue school):


Are students physically returning to your school this fall?

All but one school have students returning to school in person or in hybrid 
mode.


Where are you teaching library classes?

No schools are teaching library classes in the school library; 5 are teaching 
in the classroom, one both on Zoom and in the classroom, and one only via Zoom. 
One has not yet decided.


How will students select books to check out?

There were a variety of responses to this question, with many schools using 
more than one method:

Students will select books from a cart that is brought to the classroom - 5

They will select books from the OPAC, and the books will be delivered to the 
classroom - 6

Students email their choices, which are then delivered to the classroom - 1

Students fill out a Google form to make book bundles for individual students to 
browse - 1

Dedicated books will be used in the classroom during free reading (DEAR) time - 
1

Teachers can borrow books, which will be quarantined for 3 days upon return. 
Students probably won't check out books - 1

Have reserved books delivered to students at carpool - 1

EPIC and pdf - 1
Not decided yet - 3
I did not include a question on how to handle book check in (quarantining the 
materials, how long, etc.).  If you have decided how you will be handling this 
in your school library, please email me and I can share the responses.

flexibility shown in adding the late afternoon virtual hospitality suites gave 
many of us an opportunity to talk to other librarians dealing with the same 
issues, particularly regarding COVID.  I hope that the conference will be able 
to take place here in Chicago next year, but the online format might be a way 
to have some conferences in the future that allow more people to attend at a 
reasonable price.

Re: [ha-Safran] Unwanted donations

2020-03-12 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
 Better World Books does not take non-western script books 
https://www.betterworldbooks.com/go/library-donation-guidelines.
I recommend that someone who can identify the books decide which ones should be 
buried.  Even the dictionary is an issue, since it has all the (Hebrew) names 
of G-d, but as a whole should not be put in genizah (and I have yet to get a 
straight halachik answer on how to dispose of old dictionaries).  

I have had this issue recently, with many books dropped off at our school that 
we cannot use.  No matter how many times you post your gift policy, some people 
will still drop books off anonymously and leave you to deal with it.

 I take everything Jewish and in good condition because I run a yearly book 
sale. I box it up and place it in our synagogue's storage until the sale. 
Whatever doesn't sell over 2-3 years I leave out for anyone to take and 
whatever is left from that goes to our public library for their book sale. 
Whatever they can't use I believe is sent to Better World Books (which could be 
your starting point if you don't want to go through any of the rest, though 
even Better World Books won't take everything.)

 What do people do with unwanted donations? I have a box of all-Hebrew (to the 
point where I can't even tell you what they are) books someone dropped outside 
the library door. No name. there is an 11 volume Hebrew dictionary (we have one 
on the shelf) but many of the others are a mystery.

Books that are donated that we already have or do not wish to add to our 
collection, I do put on a cart for free or donation. When those have been there 
a month or more, I move them to the local public library's sale cart, or the 
geniza if necessary, or the trash.
I've requested (and posted numerous signs) that people call or email first, and 
then bring the books, but that hasn't helped.

[ha-Safran] Children's Hebrew encyclopedias to give away

2020-02-26 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Our library has a number of older children's Hebrew encyclopedias that we would 
like to give away rather than throw away, if any North American libraries are 
interested:

I just ask that shipping be reimbursed.

Subject: [ha-Safran] (hasafran) Entering Jewish book awards info into OPALS

  

When working on cataloging items that had received a National Jewish Book Award 
or a Sydney Taylor Book Award I noticed that when you manually insert the 586 
MARC tag for “Awards Note” OPALS provided a drop down menu of various book 
awards so that you can just select the award you want to insert it into the 
record.  No surprise, none of the Jewish awards were listed there.  I contacted 
OPALS support and asked them to include both of the above awards and the AJL 
Jewish Fiction Award in the list.  Within an hour I heard back from them that 
all three of these Jewish Awards have now been included in the list.  This 
makes entering the information into the catalog record easier.  The list is 
alphabetical and you have to scroll through it to find them.   I thought other 
OPALS users would be interested in knowing that OPALS has made them available 
in the drop down list.

[ha-Safran] Old Hebrew / Judaic textbook

2019-09-04 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
I am clearing out cabinets full of old elementary Hebrew and Judaic textbooks. 
Are there any libraries that collect this type of historical educational 
material? I am loathe to throw them out or place in shaimos, but will if no one 
is interested in them.

[ha-Safran] Books about Modern Orthodox children

2019-07-18 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
I am the librarian in a Modern Orthodox elementary day school.  Most of the 
children's books from Orthodox publishers that I have seen are written about 
the more chareidi part of the community.  While I do purchase some of those, I 
would love to include books in our collection that are more reflective of our 
students' lives; however, there doesn't seem to be much out there in English.  
Any suggestions?
