Does anyone know of a good, up-to-date, annotated bibliography on Medieval 
Islamic thinkers that could be  used for collection development purposes?

[ha-Safran] New online shop on the National Library of Israel website

2015-06-11 Thread Kolodney, Uri 
Not sure if this was featured here or not, so apologies for duplicate posting.
Anyway, last month I had the pleasure to attend the Info 2015 conference in 
Jerusalem and to talk to some very nice people from the National Library of 
Israel who presented their new online shop at the NLI booth. One nice feature 
is the option to purchase prints of maps, photographs and manuscripts. For the 
collection curators among us, a few books and catalogs are available as well.
http://shop.nli.org.il/en/ (obviously, Hebrew interface is available as well... 
http://shop.nli.org.il/he/ )

[ha-Safran] Film Recommendation: Roadmap Genesis

2015-06-11 Thread Rachel Kamin 
Almost 200 people attended our screening of the new documentary Roadmap
Genesis with the filmmaker Nolan Lebovitz and the program was very well
received.  I highly recommend it to synagogue, community center, high
school, academic & public libraries.  Plus, AJL's own David Gilner appears
in the film along with Mike Huckabee, Rabbi David Wolpe, Alan Dershowitz,
Cardinal Francis George and others!

 

Go to http://roadmapgenesis.com/ for more information about purchasing the
DVD and booking a screening.

[ha-Safran] Quote source

2015-06-11 Thread Aviva Rosenberg 
Does anyone know (or can anyone find out) the source of the quote

"איני מבקש משא קל יותר, אלא כתפיים רחבות יותר"

In English it's usually rendered as "Ask not for a lighter burden, but for
broader shoulders" and is generally listed online as a "Jewish proverb"
with no further source. It's not in Michlol HaMa'amarim V'HaPitgamim, but
I'm not sure where else to look. Any ideas?

Thanks!
