AJL Members, At long last I'm pleased to announce that volume 11 of Judaica Librarianship is being mailed this week. This long awaited issue is a bridge between the wonderful contributions of earlier volumes created and edited by Dr. Bella Haas Weinberg and Dr. Marcia Posner and forthcoming volumes of the new editor, Zachary M. Baker. My co-editor, Leah Adler, of Yeshiva University, and I have labored to present a rich issue that we hope you will enjoy. I wish to thank AJL past president, Dean Pearl Berger for her steadfast support as well as permitting the critical proof reading of the volume by several librarians at Yeshiva University. As many of you may know, this issue has seen me through numerous family celebrations, my mother's passing, and a recent job change which ultimately allowed me more time to focus on JL. Thank you for your patience.
In volume 11 you will find regular columns and highlights of the issue that include: Marlene Schiffman's "Sources for Central and Eastern European Jewish History: The Louis Lewin Collection at Yeshiva University; The Rosaline and Meyer Feinstein Foundation Lecture Series first four lectures by Herbert C. Zafren "Was Gutenberg Jewish? And Other Conundrums: Exploring the Margins of Judaica Bibliography," Menahem Schmelzer's One Hundred Years of Genizah Discovery & Research: The American Share," Dina Abramowicz's "Guardians of a Tragic Heritage: Reminiscences and Observations of an Eyewitness," and Jacob Kabakoff's "Some Notable Bibliographers I Have Known" Edith Lubetski's "Educating the Educators" Elana Gensler's "AJL Bibliography Bank" Review of The Hebrew manuscripts in the Valmadonna Trust Library by Roger S.
