I am passing along two announcements of interest-both about David: 1. David Hirsch, librarian at UCLA and member of AJLSC, is doubly honored this year. On May 20, our AJLSC chapter is presenting him with the Dorothy Schroeder Award, which is given "for tireless and outstanding dedication to Judaica Librarianship and the education of Judaica Librarians" . We are all looking forward to the gala event! Information regarding donations in his honor can be found here at our website: http://ajlsc.org/dschroeder.htm <http://ajlsc.org/dschroeder.html> 2. The second announcement is copied and pasted below: ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ It is my pleasure to announce that David Hirsch, a librarian in UCLA's Charles E. Young Research Library Collections, Research and Instructional Services, has been chosen by the Librarians Association of the University of California, Los Angeles, as the 2013 Librarian of the Year. This award recognizes excellence in librarianship over the last twelve to eighteen months, particularly as it furthers the teaching and research mission of UCLA, and meets the intellectual, informational, and cultural needs of the university community. The award, conferred during the Association's spring meeting on April 24, 2013, recognizes David's continual efforts to enhance the Library's Middle East collections, helping to make the UCLA Library the premier West Coast destination for Middle East scholars and researchers. David also worked on three exhibits, on Afghan history, Armenian printing history, and Islamic superhero comic books (which included a Library-sponsored event and film screening). During the last year, David provided invaluable assistance in finding a permanent home for the Tahrir Documents Archive in UCLA Library Special Collections. In his unrelenting efforts to enhance collections, share research, and partner with libraries in the Middle East, David's bravery was exemplified by a recent two week workshop at the University in Basra and through his contributions to the development of Iraq's libraries, despite the obvious danger posed to an American traveling in that country. The Librarians Association of the University of California is the system's primary organization for professional librarian and governance affairs. Congratulations to David Hirsch, the LAUC-LA 2013 Librarian of the Year!
