[SLG: As a devotee of Ellyssa Kroski and her books on Library 2.0 (and beyond), I'm sharing this with the Hasafran community. I believe that publishing with the Neal-Schuman/ALA group would be advantageous both for individual librarians as well as the AJL community at large. I've bought a few of the TechSet titles as well as given them out as door prizes at Mentor Mingles. If you have favorites to share with us, why not post to Hasafran? Perhaps we could take a few titles and write similar literature for Hebraica/Judaica libraries.]
