Dear all, In case you have not seen this.
*AJL Roundtable: … and Jewish Studies Librarian: Managing Judaica Among Multiple Subject Areas* Wednesday, January 10, 2024 9:00 am PT / noon ET / 7:00 pm Israel Time This roundtable is an opportunity for “community of practice” discussions among librarians, with Judaica as one of multiple subject areas under their responsibilities. Many of us become Judaica librarians by accident, coming from different disciplines and being asked by our administration to do this work for various reasons. When this happens, many librarians have to find their way into the profession of Judaica librarianship, not realizing all that goes into this field. At the same time, most of us are working in the field with Judaica as one of the multiple areas of responsibility, juggling numerous subject areas and other duties, often entirely unrelated to Judaica librarianship. This could be overwhelming, leading to professional self-doubt about whether we are as good as we should be. Although we all end up loving what we do, we have to cope with this often entirely on our own, including, for example, figuring out where to ask questions and get professional advice. We all have been there, and it is still a prevalent practice in many libraries. Please join our panelists, Guy Burak (NYU), Rachel Leket-Mor (ASU), Neil Frau-Cortes (Broward County Library system), and David Hollander (Princeton), moderated by Yelena Luckert (UMD). This session is sponsored by AJL’s RAS Division and is for AJL members only. All members are welcome.
