Dear Jim, One of the things I most value at AJL is the camaraderie and mentorship that takes place in conferences and Council or Board meetings. Unofficially, unassumingly, you taught me and others who served with you on AJL leadership roles (2008–2012) financial responsibility, paying attention to details, and thoughtfulness.
I was grateful when you agreed to join the editorial board of Judaica Librarianship in 2012 and am happy that you plan to stay on the editorial board, where your professional experience and sound advice are always welcome.

Jim, thank you so much for your leadership and your incredible patience in the face of all sorts of difficulties. When the Bibliography Award winner last year talked about how Jim showed her that academia can be a place with kindness, I thought that was a perfect description. Your advice and guidance has been amazing on both a personal level and for AJL as a whole. Thank you, thank you.
