[ha-Safran] seeking short film about Islam
Hi Wendie and all, I don't know of a good short film on Islam, but I do know of two Muslims, a husband and wife, who would be glad to come and speak to the high school students (or to any other audience). Unlike a film, they can answer questions from students - and they are used to any question you can imagine. I know them well, can warmly recommend them for any audience and would be glad to introduce anyone to them. He is a retired oncologist and she is a retired hospital administrator. They are very personable and great speakers. They co-taught a series of classes for us, together with a rabbi, and it made a big impression on all of us. Let me know, Wendie or anyone, if you'd like to be introduced.

[ha-Safran] library supplies and shelving available
As the library winds down, I want to thank everyone for their interest in our collection. I ended up speaking to many of you and I want to thank those of you who helped us sort out what to do with the collection. We still have some library materials that might be of use to other small libraries: library cards, book covers, spine labels, date due labels, rubber cement. Please reply if you are interested and could pick up from us this week. We also have a card catalog (not oak!), steel shelving in good condition, and movable compact shelving. Please reply or call quickly if interested in any of the shelving. We will be continuing as the Cultural Arts & Jewish Heritage Programs Dept., maintaining all of our programs just as before. None of this will be diminished in any way.

[ha-Safran] QUICK REPLY NEEDED: Central Queens Y collection available for institutions (or individuals)
The Central Queens Y, with much sadness, announces that we are disbanding the Jewish Heritage Library. This was a difficult choice, but the building is bursting at the seams and library use was declining. At the same time, our very full schedule of programs will continue or expand, with author events, film screenings, and classes. I am not leaving the Y, but the library will close by the end of this month. We are trying to find the best home for our excellent 15,000 book collection or for sections of it. PLEASE REPLY QUICKLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE COLLECTION OR TALKING BY PHONE. I have included my cell phone below since I am not in every day. Please reply as soon as possible, as we are under a deadline and will be selling books the week after next, at which point the value of the different sections will be much diminished. We do NOT have a list of books or an online catalog. Books would need to be picked up. The library has been kept reasonably up to date and is an excellent core collection. It includes a wide range of Jewish points of view, from secular to Orthodox. While we'd love to find one home for the whole library, we are open to institutions (or individuals) taking different sections. The 15,000 collection covers the following topics and more in shelf order: - philosophy & religion - Jewish history - Holocaust - Israel & Zionism - literature - including Israeli & Yiddish literature in translation - literary criticism - cookbooks - modern & classic Israeli literature *in Hebrew* - Talmud, Mishnah & Midrash - in Hebrew, Aramaic, and several English translations - Bible & criticism - traditional & modern scholarly - Responsa Peggy Kurtz Hevesi Jewish Heritage Library Central Queens YM & YWHA 67-09 108 Street Forest Hills, NY 11375 718 268-5011, ext. 151 <718%20268-5011%2C%20ext.%20151> *845 709-0802, cell* <718%20268-5011%2C%20ext.%20151> <718%20268-5011%2C%20ext.%20151> pku...@cqy.org <pku...@cqy.org> *DON'T MISS: AUTHORS & FILMMAKERS AT THE CQY!* More information at www.cqy.org. __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.osu.edu https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran

Re: [ha-Safran] question about Cut Me Loose
I too would love more input on this book. I've thought of having the author come to speak, since it's an interesting topic. But the book is kinda salacious for seniors.

Does your school have a collection development policy? A collection development policy can protect you from having to personally make a judgement call and can outline procedures to have a book removed from a library. I do not think Amalia's suggestion of hiding the book behind the desk solves the problem. If you do not have a collection development policy, now would be a good time to develop one with the head of school and or other leaders within your community. Let me know how I can be helpful!

Have you read the book? If the answer to the first is no and the answer to the second is yes then I believe that this is one person's opinion about the book. There are several reviews on Amazon (one very astute one in particular) that lays out what the book is about and discusses the meaning of its contents. It seems to be a raw account of what happened to the author 15 years ago. For a certain part of the population it sounds like it would be dangerous but for others enlightening. It is your call but I think promoting the book might cause controversy (because the teacher might make a stink to others) whereas putting it on the shelf for someone to find might be a better solution. It just depends on the make up of your school population. The reviewer seems to feel that the girl never got any proper lessons on behavior so that this is a cautionary tale. All of this said I have removed purchases from my shelves because of negative comments that could have caused upset. I worked in an elementary school where there was more parental screening than there possibly would be in an upper school. But then I am a coward and try to avoid conflict if possible.

Re: [ha-Safran] Bookless libraries
What happens in a few years from now when they switch format or one of these big businesses goes bankrupt? Does that mean all the e-books from that format are no longer valid? Equally important, the economic divide is real. It seems to me that we are moving into an increasingly privatized world. Those who have money are buying their own books, either print or e-books. The library is there to serve all the people, not just those with the money to buy the latest technology.

Despite carrying a stock in the tens of thousands of titles I have no scrolls currently on offer in my inventory. In my personal collection I have only four scrolls (not counting piano rolls). Seriously, the transition from real books to digital books is not an equivalent transition to the transition from scroll to codex. As of yet most digital books are not even routinely better or cheaper than paper. Libraries are being asked to change from a financial model that was understandable to one that includes a variety of models and relies on a variety of non-interacting formats. Bookless libraries is a radical concept in librarianship. It is being advocated as a one sized fit all solution for the future of libraries. As a blanket model that certainty has to be false, at least in the short run (10-20 years). Library schools are being turned into Schools of Information Technology. As we go forward more and more of the graduates of these institutions will be unfamiliar with how to handle actual books. As a result they will have a bias away from actual books. However, it is now and will be (for the foreseeable future) a decision made logically, but will be one made only out of a bias for the new. Ultimately the question for me is this. Do we really want to jam our entire life onto a screen? Is that a wise choice and even if it is what are the costs of making that choice? All the best, Henry Hollander Should we panic that our libaries lack scrolls? Can you imagine a good library without any scrolls? What about tablets (the small clay ones with squiggling staff scratched on them - probably what Avraham used to use)? Aaron This is not an official policy statement from my employer (which, BTW, does have both scrolls and tablets though we do lack native speakers of sumerian to help catalog them). On Wed, 23 Jan 2013, Rachel Haus wrote: I read the article, as well as the couple comments below it and one really resonated. While it seems as if everyone has a updated computer, tablet, etc, not everyone does because not everyone can afford one. Our family of 5 currently shares a single computer because we cannot afford more. While we migtht save up for an extra computer, what about the family with far more limited resources? The comment made at the end of the article suggested that those without the means for technology might love to read at home, but would be out of luck should all reading material be converted to digital form. Tablets might be lent out, but small libraries in small communities like mine can't possibly afford even to offer ebooks, let alone to invest in tablets.

We are disbanding our outstanding collection of about 300 films of Jewish interest on video cassette. Does anyone have constructive suggestions on this? Is this sellable?
