ANNOUNCEMENT
Please Post
THE MANFRED R. LEHMANN MEMORIAL MASTER WORKSHOP IN THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH 
BOOK
Seventeenth Annual Manfred R. Lehmann Memorial Master Workshop for Faculty, 
Professionals, and Graduate Students
May 7-8 (Sunday-Monday), 2017
Katz Center for Advanced Jewish Studies, 420 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA
“Collecting Hebrew Books From the Medieval Period 
 to the Modern Era”
Professor Joseph R. Hacker The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Joseph R. Hacker, Professor emeritus of Medieval and Early Modern Jewish 
History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Fellow of Academia 
Ambrosiana in Milan, Italy. He has written numerous articles and edited 30 
volumes of studies on the social and intellectual history of Iberian and 
Oriental Jewry and the history of the Hebrew book. Currently he is writing a 
book on the history of the Jews in the Ottoman Empire (1453-1600).
Examining the history of book collecting in Jewish society from its inception 
to the 20th century, the 2017 Lehmann Workshop will consider changes in 
ideology, policy and development, explore divergent attitudes toward the 
preservation of Jewish culture, and analyze text choices, policies and manners 
of acquisition. Topics include the preservation of works in Hebrew characters 
in ancient synagogues, academies and genizot; important Hebrew and Judaica 
collections of medieval Jewish private and semi-public libraries as well as 
European royal, noble, ecclesiastical, university and public libraries of the 
Renaissance — based mainly on the collections of Christian Hebraists and Jewish 
grandees or scholars — several of which became institutions of the city and the 
nation. The workshop’s conclusion will examine the impact on Jewish book 
culture and its libraries of modern developments, such as the rise of the 
national state, Jewish emancipation, and the growth of new Jewish centers in 
Eastern Europe, America and Israel.
For information and how to apply and register,

Presented by the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania, in

Workshop has been made possible by a generous contribution from the Manfred and 
Anne Lehmann Foundation along with grants from Albert and Nancy Friedberg.

Re: [ha-Safran] Online Catalogs

2017-01-23 Thread Shmookler, Cecile 
Dear Stephanie,

I use KOHA in my library.  It was chosen as the ILS of choice by the person who 
initially set this library up.  I came in with very little experience in the 
back end management of ILS and, without having someone around who is tech savvy 
and has an understanding of SQL, I found it hard going.  The choice of Koha was 
made because it is “free” and open source.  The time I spent trying to make 
sense of the online documentation and learning my way around to manage the 
rudiments probably was worth the price of a consultant.

ByWater Solutions is a company devoted to supporting Koha and Koha in 
libraries.  I assume, however, that you are as budget constrained as many of us 
in small libraries, and that would not be an option.  They do have a “Koha 
Education” tab on their website with useful, if limited, information.

Have you contacted Library Thing directly regarding downloading your current 
records?  I have dealt with them too, in another context, and found them to be 
very helpful.

Good luck,
Cecile

Hello Ms. Stephanie

You could use open source library software like KOHA 
https://koha-community.org/, you can find it online and customized as you wish, 
if you are already using a library software you have to make sure this software 
exports your database into excel lists so you can upload it to Koha and put 
your catalog online.
Hope this helps.

I have been trying to find a good low cost way to put my collection online. If 
anyone is using Librarything please send me your comments. Do you think an 
online catalog would increase library usage? Does anyone know how to export 
data from my current Surpass system to an online application?
