[ha-Safran]: Salaries
Greetings. I am involved in salary discussions, and I'd like comparables to make a strong case to my temple leadership. I have useful data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but would really like information that applies more specifically to my job as a synagogue and religious school librarian. Of course I understand individuals' hesitation to discuss salary, but does AJL or anybody else out there have relevant statistics or other information on the topic? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ASAP!

Lerner Seth Jerchower in their The Penn/Cambridge Genizah Fragment Project: Issues in Description, Access, and Reunification (Philadelphia, 2006): Danzig's 1997 catalog of Rabbinic fragments at the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, while oriented upon the holdings of one local collection, exhaustively provides cross-matches and concordances. The Cairo Geniza is a collection of almost 280,000 Jewish manuscript fragments found in the Genizah or storeroom of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Fustat, presently Old Cairo, Egypt. Some additional fragments were found in the Basatin cemetery east of Old Cairo, and the collection includes a number of old documents bought in Cairo in the later 19th century. It is presently dispersed among a number of libraries, including the libraries of Cambridge University and the University of Manchester . In 1896, English travelers Agnes S. Lewis and Margaret D. Gibson returned from Egypt with fragments from the Genizah they considered to be of interest, and showed them to Solomon Schechter at Cambridge. Schechter, already aware of the Genizah but not of its significance, immediately recognized the importance of the material. He later went to Egypt, acquired many documents, and brought the contents of the Genizah to scholarly and popular attention .The Taylor-Schechter collection at Cambridge has nearly 193,000 fragments (137,000 shelf-marks); there are a further 31,000 fragments at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

Re: [ha-Safran]: white spots on books
Rose, This may or may not be mold. Does it look like it's flowering? Does is smell? There are many environmental causes for white stuff on books. It's better to be safe than sorry, and if these books can be replaced, throw them away and buy new ones. They can be cleaned fairly easily. Mold is contagious, so until you figure out what it is and deal with it, segregate the books. Finally, go to the Northeast Document Conservation Center at http://www.nedcc.org/resources/leaflets/3Emergency_Management/08SalvageMoldyBooks.php. The NEDCC is the best resource around for any preservation questions.

[ha-Safran]: Updated My Bible in Pictures
Hi everyone, I currently have in my library 4 sets of the old My Bible in Pictures series (48 thin vols.) (published by Revivim over 15 years ago). I am withdrawing at least 2 of them (if anyone is interested in adopting them, please email me) Does anyone know if there is an updated edition OR a series that is comparable to this one? It's a great set, I would just like to find something more contemporary.
