*Shalom AJLers,* *I received the following request for help in cataloging a synagogue library. Please respond directly to either Adam or Phillip.*
*Let's show them Down Under that we are the leading authority on Judaic librarianship,* *Jackie* Shalom Jackie - Thank you for getting back to me so promptly. To answer your questions: 1. The library belongs to the synagogue and survives from donations from people's personal library. The content is historical, fictional and non-fictional, Judaism, Shoah, Shalom Aleichem, etc. Approximately between 1,000 and 2,000 books, classed primarily as "Adult" and "Children". 2. Please feel free to post my email to your membership, as what I require is a reference file that will expedite the catalogue processing of the books. Approx 500 are yet to be classified, so trying to automate as much as possible. Any assistance re online searches, best library software to use, etc. might also come from the forum. I really appreciate the effort you have gone to. I have taken the liberty to cc Phillip Zavelsky <[email protected]>, who is the driver behind this library effort. All the best and Shabbat Shalom from Australia, Adam ________________ Shalom Adam, > On Jul 1, 2020, at 9:39 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Comment/question posted from Association of Jewish Libraries site: > > Name: Adam Broit > > Email: [email protected] > > Comment: Hi there. I have recently begun assisting the Brisbane (Queensland Australia) library team will classifying their books. I am a Jewish IT guy doing this on my own time. They are using EXCEL on an antiquated system, and manually use "A Classification System for Libraries of Judaica". Is there a CSV file I can download to assist them in cataloguing in a quicker manner,e.g. "Lookups"? I will do all the computer work - I just need the reference file to do this. Please advise - as I am doing this for free. > Kind regards, > Adam Broit > *Jackie Ben-Efraim* *AJL Advertising Manager* *[email protected] <[email protected]>* *818-383-9672*
