Re: [ha-Safran] Library intern
Daniel, I don't understand the strenuous objections of you and your esteemed colleagues. The cash-strapped Rabbi, on the advice of his very smart mother, is asking our professional organization for help in finding an intern. Intern: a student or trainee who works, sometimes without pay, at a trade or occupation in order to gain work experience. (Google) What is wrong with a library student from Rutgers or other school in the area getting some practical experience, in consultation with trained faculty, while helping this library? The Rabbi is correct in stating that many library schools require internships. I agree with you that interns or volunteers should not replace paid workers, but in this case there is no paid position. Bensalem Kollel simply wants to get its libary in order. Good for them for not getting rid of the books and turning the room into something else! Anna Levia From: Daniel Stuhlman ddstuhl...@earthlink.net To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Sent: Tuesday, September 2, 2014 5:00:34 PM Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Library intern I discussed this with my fellow librarians here at the college. What I have to say may sound mean, but we have to stand up for our profession. We put in a lot of time training to be librarians and trying to keep up with the latest developments. Cataloging is as complex as all the books published. While most contemporary commercially published books have cataloging from Library of Congress or another vendor, many Judaica books need special attention. Without a proper catalog, a circulation system will not work. Without a classification system no one will find a particular book on the shelf. Librarians are professionals. I would not expect my car, my plumbing, my electricity, my roof, or my teeth to be fixed for free or by a volunteer intern. I would not want a medical student treating me without supervision. Students and interns are learning how to be professionals. They work under the careful supervision of seasoned professionals. They have to learn first do no harm. Don't demean our profession. Don't condone using volunteers for professional work. It is hard enough to get people to understand that libraries don't get created and don't operate by magic. This rabbi is essentially asking someone to steal from one of us. Please do not become a party to his theft. Stand up for our expertise. Let everyone know we desire to be rewarded for our knowledge. There is a story -- A person called for a plumber to fix his noisy pipes. The plumber arrived looked around for a few moments, asked a few questions, then took his hammer and hit a pipe. He announced that he was done and prepared a bill for the homeowner. The homeowner was thankful for the job, but didn't understand why a 2 minute visit cost $150. The plumber changed the bill to: $5.00 for the hammer stroke; $145 to know where to hit the pipe.

We have over the last several years built a Synagogue, established a full time kollel where Talmudic law is studied, and have an active outreach program where many people are connected to their Jewish tradition. Starting from scratch, we have built up a library of a few thousand (English) books. Things were totally out of hand as far as having books borrowed and returned, with no good record of what was out. One lady in the community tried to make a system with cards that were in each book,… but it really did not work. This summer my mother put bar codes on most of our books. She lives in NY, but came here to volunteer for a while. At this point we are at an impasse as we try to get our library functioning again. The bar coding is still not finished for the hundreds of new books that were never entered, nor with old books as they come back. We also have not yet set up a system to actually start using the scanner that we have here. In addition my mother has told me that I must have a librarian come in once a week to simply keep the library in order. Of course, paying a librarian is something that I simply don't have funds for. I've been trying to get a local person to volunteer, but haven't succeeded yet. I know that in many fields schools encourage their students to spend some time interning, as that gives them experience. Someone suggested that I contact you, if you might be aware of or possibly be able to help me find an intern

Hello We would like to introduce a book published by the Hebrew University Magnes press in Jerusalem that has returned to stock!: The Prophetical Stories The Narratives about the Prophets in the Hebrew Bible, Their Literary Types and History (Third Edition) By Alexander Rofe http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Alexander+Rofe.aspx?name=Alexander+ Rofe In this volume the author attempts to describe the whole prophetical narrative in the Hebrew Bible, delimiting the extent of the single stories and establishing the date of their composition, their ideas and message.The discussion centers on the problem of the literary genres, whether the stories are history, legend, parable or any other genre.The artistic value of some of these biblical masterpieces is highlighted. The conclusions bear upon the value of the prophetical stories as sources for the political and religious history of ancient Israel. This third edition has been extensively revised and augmented. The second edition, published in 1986, was translated into English, Italian and Russian. Prof. Alexander Rofe interests cover the history of biblical literature and religion, text-criticism and interpretation.

[ha-Safran] Judezmo (Hebrew Univeristy Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by the Hebrew University Magnes press in Jerusalem that has returned to stock!: Judezmo An Introduction to the Language of the Sephardic Jews of the Ottoman Empire (Hebrew) By David M. Bunis http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/David+M.+Bunis.aspx?name=David+M.+B unis Judezmo - the language also known as Ladino, Spanyolit, and Judeo-Spanish - is a Jewish language composed of Romance, Hebrew-Aramaic and Arabic, and Balkan elements, which arose in medieval Spain and evolved after the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, primarily in the Ottoman Empire. The present book is a comprehensive, university-level Hebrew-language introduction to Judezmo, as written in the traditional Rashi alphabet. It includes a structural and sociolinguistic overview of the language and the literature created in it from the Middle Ages through the modern era, a rich anthology of reading selections, linguistic analysis, exercises to reinforce the active acquisition of the language, a detailed chart of the verbal system, and a bilingual dictionary. The reading selections, presented in order of difficulty, were taken from the modern Judezmo literature and press of the past 200 years, and from the rich Judezmo oral literature - including proverbs and sayings, folk songs and ballads, stories, jokes and riddles. The reading selections introduce the reader to the captivating cultural and social world of the Judezmo-speaking Sephardim in the modern era. The linguistic analysis includes a description of the Judezmo sound system, the Hebrew-letter and Roman-letter writing systems used to transcribe it, and a morphological and syntactic analysis of the linguistic structures appearing in the reading selections, designed to provide the reader with a thorough introduction to modern Judezmo in its diverse regional and stylistic forms. The book is meant for individual study as well as group use, and assumes no prior knowledge of any language except Hebrew.

Re: [ha-Safran] Digital Jewish Resource Bank, anyone?
I've had very positive responses to my proposal that we explore creating a set of online resource guides (see below). I think there is enough interest and energy behind this idea to make it worth exploring further. After this note, I will move the discussion offline to those who have expressed interest in working on this, so let me know if you want to be part of this discussion going forward. I wanted to mention a couple of important points raised by those who have responded so far. One noted discussions already underway through AJL about the Jewish Digital Commons. I did a little poking around in Google and found some sites with similar names - one sponsored by the Center for Jewish History - but it wasn't clear to me how this would apply to the case I've raised. If you are one of those who is working on an AJL instance of the Jewish Digital Commons, I'd like to hear more about what this is and how this might be implemented. Another respondent mentioned a revamping of the AJL website and the possibility of supporting resource guides within that platform. Again, if you are one of those who is working on this project and could provide more information, esp. related to the possibility of supporting the proposed guides, I'd like to be in touch. Quite a few members gave a thumbs-up to LibGuides as a potential platform, working with it within their library systems. I used it when I worked at UC Santa Cruz and thought it would be a good platform for supporting this work. However, as far as I understand this, order for all of us - across a wide assortment of institutions - to collaborate on a set of guides, I think we'd need to be enrolled under the auspices of a single organization. I've started to explore that with SpringShare, the host of LibGuides. One person mentioned a blog as a potential platform. I'm blog-blind, so this was a useful reminder of other approaches. I don't know how a blog would support this sort of work - they seem episodic and not easily organized - but I'm willing to learn whether there is application. Perhaps we could use a blog as a means of communicating about new resources and organizational issues among those managing the guides. I'm happy to hear other ideas. As mentioned, if you have an interest in participating or being kept in the loop, please let me know. I don't want to burden the whole list with this discussion as it gets more detailed but I will post updates when I think they'd be of interest to the whole list.

Re: [ha-Safran] Digital Jewish Resource Bank, anyone?
Lee, The Jewish Digital Commons is specifically a list of digital resources themselves, not guides to resources. It was inspired by the CJH site, which is currently not being updated as far as I can tell, but we've moved to a Google spreadsheet to input digital resources that fit under a broad definition of the term digital humanities (such as digitized primary sources, GIS/mapping projects, and others) You can see that spreadsheet here: http://bit.ly/JewishDHProjects. It might be important here to note our different audiences, though. A temple guide to Jewish resources would look very different from a university guide to Jewish Studies. It might therefore be worthwhile to do something like this along divisional lines (RAS/SSC). Many of the university libraries already have LibGuides, which can be shared easily, and are on the wiki, as Joyce mentioned.

I think there is enough interest and energy behind this idea to make it worth exploring further. After this note, I will move the discussion offline to those who have expressed interest in working on this, so let me know if you want to be part of this discussion going forward. I wanted to mention a couple of important points raised by those who have responded so far. One noted discussions already underway through AJL about the Jewish Digital Commons. I did a little poking around in Google and found some sites with similar names - one sponsored by the Center for Jewish History - but it wasn't clear to me how this would apply to the case I've raised. If you are one of those who is working on an AJL instance of the Jewish Digital Commons, I'd like to hear more about what this is and how this might be implemented. Another respondent mentioned a revamping of the AJL website and the possibility of supporting resource guides within that platform. Again, if you are one of those who is working on this project and could provide more information, esp. related to the possibility of supporting the proposed guides, I'd like to be in touch. Quite a few members gave a thumbs-up to LibGuides as a potential platform, working with it within their library systems. I used it when I worked at UC Santa Cruz and thought it would be a good platform for supporting this work. However, as far as I understand this, order for all of us - across a wide assortment of institutions - to collaborate on a set of guides, I think we'd need to be enrolled under the auspices of a single organization. I've started to explore that with SpringShare, the host of LibGuides. One person mentioned a blog as a potential platform. I'm blog-blind, so this was a useful reminder of other approaches. I don't know how a blog would support this sort of work - they seem episodic and not easily organized - but I'm willing to learn whether there is application. Perhaps we could use a blog as a means of communicating about new resources and organizational issues among those managing the guides. I'm happy to hear other ideas. As mentioned, if you have an interest in participating or being kept in the loop, please let me know. I don't want to burden the whole list with this discussion as it gets more detailed but I will post updates when I think they'd be of interest to the whole list.

I'm thinking of subject guides to online resources - primarily free and available to all users - that we all could use to assist our communities. As an example, look at the guides I've started to create for my Temple library at https://sites.google.com/site/tbeaptoslib/guides. In the midst of doing this work, it occurred to me that I was probably reinventing the wheel and this would be done better through a cooperative effort. My idea is to organize a series of generic subject guides that would be relevant and useful to anyone anywhere. Instead of dozens of us researching, building and maintaining our own guides, there'd be one centralized set of guides we'd build and maintain collectively.

Re: [ha-Safran] Library intern
How about this: I can see the value of the learning experience - and assistance to the rabbi - who indeed may have a limited amount of funds - but I am tired of seeing situations where someone is expected to volunteer as a student to undertake a learning experience (from whom is the student going to learn?) - for nothing. So- a) do the work as a practicum (for credit) under an instructor who agrees to provide assistance and do it for nothing - but it's up to the university whether this would be an acceptable practicum. Generally - they would want a site supervisor who is going to be providing guidance; b) get the synagogue to do a mini fund-raiser - for a small internship grant - like maybe $1500 - or so for 120 hours or so (the going rates are small in NC - so judge on the local going rate) ; and c) seek out a volunteer from ha-safran (or elsewhere?) to run a check list on whatever this intern and the rabbi get done - since there is (apparently) no expertise available on-site. It's a good opportunity - but even a student is going to need some guidance - and the small amount of money would be helpful. In my geographical area, I've seen friends of the library raise $$ for internships sometimes - (but generally - the intern is going to engage in a special project with guidance - not be on his or her own).

What I have to say may sound mean, but we have to stand up for our profession. We put in a lot of time training to be librarians and trying to keep up with the latest developments. Cataloging is as complex as all the books published. While most contemporary commercially published books have cataloging from Library of Congress or another vendor, many Judaica books need special attention. Without a proper catalog, a circulation system will not work. Without a classification system no one will find a particular book on the shelf. Librarians are professionals. I would not expect my car, my plumbing, my electricity, my roof, or my teeth to be fixed for free or by a volunteer intern. I would not want a medical student treating me without supervision. Students and interns are learning how to be professionals. They work under the careful supervision of seasoned professionals. They have to learn first do no harm. Don't demean our profession. Don't condone using volunteers for professional work. It is hard enough to get people to understand that libraries don't get created and don't operate by magic. This rabbi is essentially asking someone to steal from one of us. Please do not become a party to his theft. Stand up for our expertise. Let everyone know we desire to be rewarded for our knowledge. There is a story -- A person called for a plumber to fix his noisy pipes. The plumber arrived looked around for a few moments, asked a few questions, then took his hammer and hit a pipe. He announced that he was done and prepared a bill for the homeowner. The homeowner was thankful for the job, but didn't understand why a 2 minute visit cost $150.

We have over the last several years built a Synagogue, established a full time kollel where Talmudic law is studied, and have an active outreach program where many people are connected to their Jewish tradition. Starting from scratch, we have built up a library of a few thousand (English) books. Things were totally out of hand as far as having books borrowed and returned, with no good record of what was out. One lady in the community tried to make a system with cards that were in each book,… but it really did not work. This summer my mother put bar codes on most of our books. She lives in NY, but came here to volunteer for a while. At this point we are at an impasse as we try to get our library functioning again. The bar coding is still not finished for the hundreds of new books that were never entered, nor with old books as they come back. We also have not yet set up a system to actually start using the scanner that we have here. In addition my mother has told me that I must have a librarian come in once a week to simply keep the library in order. Of course, paying a librarian is something that I simply don't have funds for.

[ha-Safran] developing a genealogy collection
Hello safranim, Shalom from Israel. Following many other institutions, we are enlarging our services to those researching their family history. We've recently began to make a small open-stacks collection of genealogical materials, but find some difficulties in the shelving process. We are debating how best to integrate them with other existing subjects, such as history, biographies, memoirs and more. For instance, should collective biographies be shelved with the history of the locality, or in a separate collection? Both options, in this and other cases, have advantages. I would appreciate the possibility to learn from others' experiance in this field.
