Beth Dwoskin 510 Glendale Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Please consider the environment before printing this email. - Forwarded Message - From: Association of Jewish Libraries To: Beth Dwoskin Sent: Friday, October 13, 2023 at 02:16:34 PM EDTSubject: AJL Israel Updates and Requests for Volunteers | | | | | | | | | | AJL Israel Updates and Requests for Volunteers Dear Members, It is so hard for me to write this letter. Many of us are facing so much this week, with the loss of or fear for friends, family members, or colleagues. I am writing to update you on where we stand as an organization on current events. For those who have asked, our statement is available here. To our Israeli members: we've heard from some of you about possible ways we can help; we are eager to do what we can to support you, so please do be in touch. Many of you have asked how you can help from afar. Some initiatives below are actively seeking volunteers and even coordinators; if you would like to step in to lead, please reach out to me directly or to the person indicated. 1. We will be sharing information regarding a zoom space for members to come and be with each other next week. If it seems to be helpful to hold these spaces, we will continue to do them at various times of day so everyone has a space to be with friends and colleagues. 2. Storytime: Aviva Rosenberg (aviva.h.rosenb...@gmail.com) is coordinating possible storytimes for Israeli children. 3. We are librarians! Our job is to provide information. At present, we are looking for volunteers willing to pull together multiple lists. Please reach out to me if you can take this on: 1) Love Your Neighbor Israel List: This is already available; please feel free to share widely. 2) Libguides: Is someone willing to pull together a “top three” libguide about Israel? 3) Books and films: We've already been asked for a “good read” on how to learn about Israel. Is someone willing to pull together a top ten? Bear in mind that this is about presenting accurate information; a good list will have multiple valid perspectives. Thanks to Vanessa Freedman for this link to an example with a guide to Ukraine, which is the kind of thing we'd like to put together: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/ssees-ukraine/resources__;!!KGKeukY!wDOj2iHFXRWDxs989lylb44DkkkKlvyXiyczExNqXV2cSG8droSvxCvAU1uzvABtkZqo9HNlEHgL6c-z4bzT$ 4. I've been in touch with our colleagues at the National Library of Israel, and they have sent the following request for our assistance with web archiving: “During these difficult times, we in the National Library of Israel are working to locate and preserve online discussion involving the war. We are interested in any content that documents the events, including websites, forums, and social media accounts in Israel and any other country. We would be grateful to receive lists of relevant links via this google sheet template, or simply by email to webarch...@nli.org.il” 5. We'd love to add more Israeli libraries to our AJL map: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishlibraries.org/mapping-ajl/__;!!KGKeukY!wDOj2iHFXRWDxs989lylb44DkkkKlvyXiyczExNqXV2cSG8droSvxCvAU1uzvABtkZqo9HNlEHgL6anw_Mfy$ That's it for now.

Re: [ha-Safran] a very basic query
The reason to keep them is to match donations and returned books against them to make sure you're not receiving a title that you already weeded. It's also good if someone requests an old title and you want to explain why you don't have it. This becomes less of an issue as time goes on. You could have a high schooler enter them into a spreadsheet. Beth Dwoskin 510 Glendale Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Is this a dilemma, or should I simply recycle? Thanks very much for guidance on this.

The Chair's Program was already set and was to be a very theoretical program about ethnic materials. When everything changed, the in-person program wouldn't work online, and the committee had to come up with a new program quickly, I suggested Heidi to join a DC school librarian to talk about this topic, and we are so lucky she agreed. I can't tell you how happy I am with how the program turned out. It really brought out the diversity of materials to have speakers from such different backgrounds.

Re: [ha-Safran] Ancestry.com in the library
I agree with Amanda. As I said in my presentation at AJL in June, Ancestry aggregates databases that are individually available for free. It is useful for Jews to research their ancestors in America but if they want to use it that way, it is available in most public libraries. The better approach is to feature Jewishgen as a library resource. But, I would be interested to know what Ancestry charges small libraries.

Mainly, we use Ancestry for vital records in the U.S. I would recommend Ancestry as a resource, but I would also consider whether it's already available at your local public library, how much it costs for your library to subscribe, and what relationship it has to your library collection and services.

It will be nice to have a few articles on Jewish bookstores in Judaica Librarianship (one essay will be published in JL 19), but a digital archive that all of us can contribute to will make a beautiful collaborative project that may also evolve into a grant proposal on behalf of AJL to include Jewish publishing houses.

I just sent a paper to Judaica Librarianship proposing a project like this for yizkor books. It would be an international database. If it worked, it could be a model for all Jewish content. My paper talks about the implications for cataloging. The two big questions, which I don't address, are an umbrella structure for housing the data, doing maintenance, etc., and funding.

I invited colleagues from academic/archival libraries, synagogue/school/center libraries, Bureau of Jewish Education directors, Jewish publishers, and others. We called the committee, “Creation of National Jewish Bibliographic Data Base.” We discussed it for quite awhile via the U.S. mail. (We didn’t have the luxury of the Internet or emails then!). We met at national conventions and once even in my Library in Los Angeles. It was of great interest. I remember that we reached the point of discussing potential funding sources! BUT, then, the 1982 Lebanon War occurred, and all funding priorities were for Israel's defenses, of course, and none for future resources. I think I may still have the correspondence hard copies - but doubt that it would be of much use from 34 years ago. I don’t recall hearing anything more about this idea, but I’m long retired from the AJL Board. I like to keep current - thus my joining this ha-Safran discussion.

Re: [ha-Safran] FW: ALA resolution boycotting companies working with IDF
I respectfully submit the following slight edits (in red): The Association of Jewish Libraries is an international professional organization that fosters access to information and research in all forms of media relating to all things Jewish. The Association promotes Jewish literacy and scholarship and provides a community for peer support and professional development. The AJL is an affiliate of ALA and stands firm in its opposition to any attempt to politicize the ALA through bigoted and hateful targeting of the State of Israel and its citizens, as well as opposing veiled threats against any American company doing business in Israel. The AJL also condemns the blatant censorship exercised by the Council by scheduling this meeting on the Jewish Sabbath, thus effectively denying the rights of observant Jewish members of ALA to participate in this discussion. The AJL believes that the mantle of “broad social responsibilities,” is crucial to the spirit of ALA, and therefore should be applied responsibly and equally to address issues such as religious freedom, genocide, terrorism, and denial of equal rights and free speech to women and LGBT citizens. Please note, the latter denial mentioned is the case in many if not most Arab countries,BUT NOT IN THE DEMOCRATIC STATE OF ISRAEL!

Re: [ha-Safran] Uncatalogued items question
You may have to catalog them yourself, but first search them on Worldcat, Jewish library databases such as the National Library of Israel and the Jewish Theological Seminary, and AJL member catalogs: http://www.jewishlibraries.org/main/Resources/Membersrsquo;Catalogs.aspx If you have to catalog from scratch, be sure to search the name in the LC name authorities list: http://authorities.loc.gov/ Have you been retaining LC and DDC classification and LC subject headings in the records you're downloading? Do you plan to edit them to include Weine or Elazar classification or Jewish subject headings? Build your original record to be consistent with the rest of your database.

Hi, I am trying unsuccessfully to remember the name of a wonderful short story by a Yiddish writer. The story concerns a poor humble,naïve, man who, upon reaching the gates of heaven, is asked what he would like most. He answers that a nice, warm roll in the morning would be wonderful. I think the story is called Bunchee Swag (pardon my Yiddish!) – Any ideas?

Re: [ha-Safran] RDA and the Bible
RDA is removing the Testament part of the uniform title when a work contains only one book, of either testament. The uniform title will then be: Bible. Genesis or: Bible. Corinthians, etc. The 245 will still contain the transcription of the title page, as in AACR2. The purpose of cataloging using uniform titles is to gather all the same works under the same title. Assistance in finding items, rather than educating the public, is the purpose of cataloging. Beth Dwoskin 2005 Calumet Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Please consider the environment before printing this email.

I was meaning to refer to the context of any public or academic library cataloging the RDA example that just is for the book of Genesis or the book of Gospels as individually bound items. RDA is confusing and disorganized and does not make sense, so if I FRBRize it, it one example that RDA is thinking (in their own Christian minds) when they make their statements could look like this: Work- The Bible E1- The Old Testament E2- The New Testament M1- A publication of separately bound books of the bible- in a series I1-Genesis I2- Exodus etc. I6- Matthew etc. In this case it would still say on the title page Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible) and New Testament. I would still feel comfortable saying you should still designate something separate for the book of Genesis so it is considered a separate Work in the bib. record even if the local practice is Old Testament, to educate the public that it is a different historical work from the book of Matthew as a New Testament, in the case that New Testament is on the title page. If a book of Genesis is separately published within a series and has some designation, either Hebrew bible or Old Testament, it would be wrong to not write it out as it appears on the title page, when RDA has been stating to not include it. If it is not written out then the record is not displaying the proper data. But we can obviously make the choice as we wish, not to cary this on any further, but to clarify the example that I am thinking of...

Re: [ha-Safran] RDA and the Bible
I think the JSC means that every Christian denomination has a bias in favor of its own translation or version. It's not that they're worried about being accused of a Jewish bias. Rather, the term "Hebrew Bible" is meaningless in a translated, Christian version. Beth Dwoskin 2005 Calumet Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Re: [ha-Safran] RDA and the Bible
As Andrea Rapp pointed out, Old Testament is a term that reflects explicit Christian bias. The change is an attempt to do away with that bias and be as neutral as possible. Terms like Bereshit cannot be used because RDA has an Anglocentric bias--but that's another story.

Re: [ha-Safran] Hebrew vs Gregorian Calendar Dates

If there is no edition statement, give the date of the first publication of the edition to which the item belongs. Give dates in Western-style arabic numerals. If the date found in the item is not of the Gregorian or Julian calendar, give the date as found and follow it with the year(s) of the Gregorian or Julian calendar. , 1975 , 4308 [1975] , [4308 i.e. 1975] , 5730 [1969 or 1970] , anno 18 [1939] not , anno XVIII , 1976 not , Beth Dwoskin 2005 Calumet Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Please consider the environment before printing this email.
