I'm assisting a faculty member in my university's Communications
Department whoyears agodid his dissertation on Golda Meir's

If you were at the AJL convention in Chicago and if you took digital
photos, it would be great if you could upload them to flickr or some
other photo sharing site. It would also be great if you could tag
them AJL09 when you do so. Please let us know on Hasafran if you
upload photos and tell us
We just received notice that catalog cards are being discontinued by
Marcive. I see now that they've already been discontinued by Library of
Congress. Does anyone know of another service? Are there other small
libraries out there that have figured out a way out of this?

Colleagues:
I am preparing to sell two substantial collections of books and need
advice on evaluating their worth. Your suggestions will be appreciated:
1. Judaica (est. 1600 volumes). Mostly in English, basic reference
works, Bible and Talmud studies, history, biography, Israel,
literature,
Dear safranim:
I have recently had a discussion with an educator (high school level)
who is trying to choose one good book about Jews to assign to her
students. They will be learning about the Holocaust, but she agrees
that young people need to learn there's more to being Jewish than
putting
AJLMentoring is now on Twitter, Delicious (and Flickr). Please pass
on useful sites and articles of interest to be posted. More
importantly, if you're already mentoring and have a relationship with
another library professional, why not send along that information to
our committee?
Hi everyone,
I am drowning under the weight of my millions of bookmarks.
I have a ton saved to my Mozilla browser. I heard of Diigo and
thought it would be a great way to organize them and access them from
other library computers in order to save them there too, so I signed
up, created a
The Jewish Publication Society (JPS) is proud to announce that The

I agree with Stephen Bernstein, dropping Dewey is very unwise, as
then you cannot ever reorganize your library in the future if things
change. I use holiday named baskets, and stickers with the holiday
name on each book. Very easy for shelving them back into the baskets.
However all the books
As chair of the Manuscript Award Committee, I hope that some of you
who heard Nechama Liss-Levinson's heartfelt acceptance speech will be
motivated to join the committee.
We currently have one opening but anticipate additional openings next
year. The term is five years. We evaluate 15-20
Kol hakavod to Cheryl, Shoshanah, and Rose! What a wonderful job you
did! It was a fantastic convention!
I so enjoyed meeting so many of you who stopped by my Sefer, So Good
exhibit. Than you all for your wonderful support. Before I send the

I am hoping that someone on Ha-Safran can help me to find a recent
Israeli political cartoon. It was described in an article as having
[President] Obama dressed like a scarecrow with birds shaped as
missiles and rockets, laughing and sitting all over him. Does
anyone know who the cartoonist
We are creating a teen section within our adult library
collection. While I have a pretty good handle on YA books, I am
looking for help identifying adult titles with Jewish content that
would interest and appeal to high school readers - newer,

Hello Friends,
Many thanks to Cheryl, Rose, Shoshana, and the rest of the Chicago
team for an amazing convention. It was my first-time attending an AJL
convention and by the time I left I felt I was leaving lifelong
friends. The sessions were amazing. I learned so much - and enjoyed
every
As I wind into ALA after AJL, I want to add my thanks, appreciation,
awe, and a heartfelt yasher-koyekh to Shoshanah, Cheryl, Rose, the
entire wonderful Chicago Convention Committee, and all who had a hand
in making the 2009 AJL Chicago Convention absolutely
magnificent! Great sessions,
I use Delicious. I proposed some time ago (see appended below) that
AJL members adopt this or a similar service in order to share and
elevate the good quality tags we exchange via HaSafran. A number of
other members use Delicious already. This isn't the only tool or
necessarily the best, but
