Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] adding patron computers
Amalia Warshenbrot gave a very complete and convincing answer to Helene's 
question about adding patron computers to the synagogue library. I concur 
with everything she said. We finally have a new, faster and better patron 
computer and while it doesn't increase traffic by much, it is creating 
happier patrons! Ours is used only for internet access (no WORD, EXCEL, etc. 
although I would personally recommend installing such software); through 
another login, volunteers use the same computer to do some data entry in our 
new online catalog. As several mentioned in Hasafran, neither guaratees more 
"foot traffic" or more circulation, but I am convinced that more are now 
using the library to browse our collection from home. Even if they do not 
take advantage of the option to place a hold on a book (new skills take time 
to become habits!), awareness has increased and will continue to do so as we 
"market" the multiple opportunities offered by our online catalog, our new 
patron computer a

nd the ability to print and copy in the library. In my view, awareness, 
although difficult to measure, is the key to the success of a synagogue 
library. When new (and old!) patrons show up in person, either because they 
have been reading our temple ENotes or bulletins or because their 
preschoolers have dragged them here after school or because they are in the 
building anyway and might as well take a look, the library is the winner!

Hi,



Does anyone still use the Athena cataloging system?



If so, perhaps you can help me. I would like to reuse barcodes of
deleted books, but find that 1) Athena seems very arbitrary about what
the system will or won't delete. Sometimes I can't delete the item, and
2) I find that the  deleted item still shows up on shelf lists.
Therefore, I can't use that barcode again.



Has anyone had success reusing barcodes?



Thanks!!

We have one. It doesn't get us a lot more traffic, but a little; and it 
makes the catalog available even if a lot of Hebrew School parents use it 
for job hunting. The big consideration we had was to make sure that it 
wasn't on the synagogue network, for security reasons. This means that I 
have to manually transport our catalog to the public computer on a flash 
drive every couple of weeks, but it's no biggie; and if the catalog is small 
enough to email, you can do that too.

We have one computer for exclusive Patron use and it doesn't get much

We also have WiFI -- and that actually gets a fair amount of use.

It gives the public access to our catalog, which we don't have on the Web. 
Also, everyone doesn't carry a computer in. But we also get a certain number 
of people who come in with laptops and use our slow wi-fi.

Dear Safranim,



New Book Announcement: The Destruction of Czestochova is the first in a 
series of English translations of Yizkor books being made available through 
the auspices of JewishGen Inc.?s new Yizkor-Books-in-Print Project. 
Jewishgen.org is the most visited non-profit Jewish genealogical website 
online and is an affiliate of the Museum of Jewish Heritage ? A Living 
Memorial to the Holocaust, a member of the AJL. All of the books in the 
series will be in hard cover, in a similar format, approximately 7? x 10? in 
size. Our intention is for this unique literature to be the source for 
research and teaching the history of Jewish communities in these towns.

For those unfamiliar with Yizkor books, they are memorial books written to 
honor the lost Jewish communities of villages and towns that were destroyed 
by the Nazis during World War II. The books in this series provide the 
history, personalities, and institutions of the Jews in these villages in 
the years before WWII. These translations provide the English speaking 
community with a first-hand account in hard cover format, so that 
researchers and descendants of those destroyed communities as well as 
museum, university and synagogue libraries can offer this history.

The Destruction of Czestochova (Czestochowa, Poland) was first published in 
Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1949 in Yiddish by survivors and former residents 
of the town. For the assistance of researchers, the town has also been known 
as: Czestochowa [Pol], Chenstochov [Yid], Tschenstochau [Ger], Censtochov? 
[Cz], Chenstokhova [Rus], Chenstokhov, Chestokhova, Tshenstokhov.

We have two patron computers, and we are expecting a third computer which 
will be designated for the Israel Museum/Dead Sea Scrolls only.  The 
computers are used a bit, usually by the same handful of people - but we 
would love more foot traffic and usage.  A recent increase in our 
programming has been bringing more people into the library - and we are 
slowly - very slowly - getting more users.
Issues to consider may include patron usage of a printer, and possible 
conflict with programs or meetings.

I agree with all the previous replies to Helene?s question. I hope that she 
will forward my reply to her concerned committee.
I see here three issue:
1. How to increase the foot traffic to any library and especially a 
synagogue library
2. Using computers for research
3. Public access to the catalogue (Barbara Mends from ? )
1. A synagogue library is considered  a special collection library like a 
law library or a medical library. As such it does not get the same traffic 
that, for example,  the public library gets,  but members of library 
committee are always concerned b/c it looks like it does not justify the 
cost. The synagogue library is important. It serves the synagogue school, 
individuals who wish to become Jews by choice and those that wish to expand 
their Judaic studies . Since the  number of users is small theses libraries 
are open limited hours with, often, one staff person. Are those eager to 
increase the foot traffic also ready to support full time staff  and 
support staff ?  Are they willing to keep the library open and staffed 6 
days a week from 9:00am to 9:00pm ? The users deserve the best collection 
and a knowledgeable person to direct them to the best resources available in 
the library or that can be borrowed from another library.
Foot traffic is increased by offering programs, but I found that it did not 
increase the circulation. I saw parents coming for a children program yet 
they did not even look at the books around them or adults coming for a 
lecture and never come again,  but the publicity for the programs creates 
awareness of the library which helps when you  ask for support.  We revived 
donations from people who had never set foot in the library.
2. As Andrea and  others noted,  With PC,  laptops,  wireless etc.  having 
patron computers in a synagogue library will not do much to increase 
traffic. A lot of research is done at home today and we cannot change it 
even if we can offer better resources.
3.We had a a public access computer just in front of the patrons? eyes. at 
the entrance before they approached the circulation desk,  but they still 
asked a staff person to locate a book for them.
I strongly recommend an on-line catalogue.  Many patrons no longer browse 
for books. They find on-line what they need and put it  on hold. I love the 
self service checkout in my local public library. It saves time and gives me 
what I need,  but it does not really increase the foot-traffic in the 
library therefor one the branches here in Charlotte NC offers now a drive 
thru for pick up items on reserve. Hurray for the lazy. For most of the 
potential library users it is dayyenu.
Shabbat shalom,
Amalia Warshenbrot

It gives the public access to our catalog, which we don't have on the Web. 
Also, everyone doesn't carry a computer in. But we also get a certain number 
of people who come in with laptops and use our slow wi-fi.

         We have one. It doesn't get us a lot more traffic, but a little; 
and it makes the catalog available even if a lot of Hebrew School parents 
use it for job hunting. The big consideration we had was to make sure that 
it wasn't on the synagogue network, for security reasons. This means that I 
have to manually transport our catalog to the public computer on a flash 
drive every couple of weeks, but it's no biggie; and if the catalog is small 
enough to email, you can do that too.
