[ha-Safran] Don Quixote

[Jacqueline benefraim]

Not only are there copies of Don Quixote in Hebrew (but I read it in
English), but there is a song by Danny Sanderson about Don Quixote.

Shalom,

I have a patron who is looking for a children's book on Upsherin. The

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Hope to see you in Houston,

[ha-Safran] Notice to Advertisers on HaSafran

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

We really appreciate all of the support AJL has received from publishers and 
booksellers in the past. However, due to the needs of our organization and in 
conformance with current practice in most Listserves, we ask that advertisers 
pay for posting ads on Hasfran, which will only be posted on Tuesdays. 

Effective August 15, 2013, rates are:
$360 per year for weekly ads; $36 for monthly ads (once a week) and $10 for one 
time.

Please be advised that an effective method of advertising your product would be 
placing a color ad in AJL Reviews. This type of advertisement enables you to 
have a hot link directly to your product and website. For further information 
and rates, please contact Jackie Benefraim at ajladmana...@gmail.com.

We will still be accepting book release announcements from our members that 
consist of one title with one or two sentences about the book or movie. We will 
send out billing to those who post items with more content.

Thank you again for your continued support of the Association of Jewish 
Libraries.

All the best,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Irish Jewish Film

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom Movie Lovers,

We had a patron ask for titles of movies about the Jews in Ireland. for
their Purim/St. Patrick's Day Mash Up. Besides *Shalom Ireland* and *Grandpa
Speak to Me In Russian*, there is a movie I saw once, that I believe was in
 Irish Gaelic, but could have been in another foreign language, that
depicted life for Jews in Ireland 100 years ago and
the discrimination they suffered. I believe it was a fictional drama.

If anyone has any suggestions, it will be like finding a four-leafed clover.

Shabbat Shalom,

Jackei

[ha-Safran] Library Database Program Question

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

*I am forwarding this question from a potential new member. Please respond
to her directly, as she is not yet a member of the listserve.*

I am the volunteer librarian for our synagogue's library, and I have a
question for members of the list regarding a library database program.

For the past 10 years or so, our library has used a program called
ReaderWare to catalog our books and keep track of book circulation. The
program resides on the hard drive of the computer, so if the hard drive
fails, the data is very difficult to recover, unless there is an external
back-up. Unfortunately, the hard drive of the library computer failed at
the beginning of this month, and we are in the process of trying to find
out whether we can recover the data. If we can recover the data, then
we'll be in fairly good shape, but if we can't, then we will have to
input all of the information again (we do have hard copies of the
accession records plus the old card catalog), since there is no external
back-up.

I would now like to use LibraryThing (www.librarything.com) for our
library database program. LibraryThing keeps the data on all of the
libraries/book collections from its users on its own servers, in the
cloud (not on the library's own hard drive). Using this program will
enable all members of the congregation to see what's in the library via
the Internet--something that can't be done with ReaderWare.

I would very much appreciate knowing from those who use LibraryThing for
their congregational libraries either as the librarian or as a congregant
how it works for you and what suggestions you might have for its use in a
synagogue library. I have already looked on the Association of Jewish
Libraries' website for reviews of LibraryThing, so right now I'm looking
for additional user reports that can help me.

Thank you!

[ha-Safran] Top Four Holocaust Titles

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom le-Kulam,

I hope that before you pack for conference you can take a minute to send me
your 4 top choices of nonfiction Holocaust titles, multi-volume sets count
as 1 title, for a Texas public library system. A non-Jewish  friend from
library schools days thought that AJL would be be the most appropriate
group to ask!

I'll send him the top 4 titles at the end of the week.

See you in Vegas!

[ha-Safran] Hebrew Book Exhibit at Trinity College Library

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJLers,

Now that conference is concluded, I'm back checking emails and found this
upcoming exhibit in Dublin starting in July.

http://www.tcd.ie/Library/about/exhibitions.php#Hebrew

Anyone who might be in Ireland should visit this exhibit and let the
librarians know that you learned about it from the Association of Jewish
Libraries. Then report back on HaSafran or our Facebook page to let the
rest of us know what you saw.

Travel safe,

Jackie

Dear Rita,

I second Debbie Stern,s comments that I wish you a wonderful retirement,
but hope to see you still involved in AJL.

I also want to thank you for all of your interesting lectures at
conferences, I've learned a great deal from you, not only about Argentinian
Jewry, but about how to make an interesting presentation.

May you go from strength to strength,

Jackie

 Dear friends:



 Everything in life has a beginning and an end. I started working as a
 volunteer for the Library of the Seminario in 1989, with BA Irene Münster.

 In 2014 I´m leaving after having served truthfully and enjoyed my tasks in
 this wonderful library founded by Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer Z”L, and  Dra.
 Suse Harf Z”L.

  I have looked after and protected this library as a real treasure.



 25  years of devotion to books, students, teachers and rabbis.

 25 years of uninterrupted joy, achievements and satisfactions.



 I feel privileged for having been able to do what I like best and in a
 great place where I felt protected, loved and recognized, both locally and
 internationally.

 I have received so many emails, phone calls and letters with expressions
 of love and affection that I came to believe that my work here was not too
 bad. It's now time to reap what I have sown for 25 years.



 I thank all of those who have been and are my friends, all those that I
 saw become rabbis, morim and chazzanim,  those who have spent hours and
 hours studying within this wonderful environment that is the Library of the
 Seminario.



 I want to thank as well  all my colleagues from abroad with whom I shared
 several conferences and became dear friends,



 To all of you THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[ha-Safran] Survivor's Talmud

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

I wanted to know if any of you have information about the artist who
created the Survivor's Talmud's title page. I believe the artist's name is
G. Rosenkrantz  ג. ראזענקראנץ

You can see a copy of the title page, which is the same for each volume
with the exception of the tractate name, at the link below

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/loc/Remnant.html

Thank you in advance for your help.

cousin, Andrew Gottlieb, Ph.D.,Curator, Hollander Collection
www.hollanderjudaica.com
Below is his response:

*"I believe that language should be used to communicate effectively, and I
can tell you, at least anecdotally, that "Marrano" is understand
immediately and used regularly among the Jews of South Florida and within
Jewish communities of the Latin American countries where I have completed
reasearch. *

*"Crypto-Jew" is NOT the same as "Marrano" and I will sit shiva for any Jew
who makes up a ridiculous term to replace it, such as "EID, Exiled
Inquisition Jew." I know that the term means "pig," but "Yankee" was no
moniker of which to be proud either, until the colonists embraced it.*

*Meantime, my personal short answer to your question is that most Hispnic
Jews remain unoffended; the term is immediately understood, and I don't
believe that the term warrants a linguistic war, a la the "n" word."*

I hope this brings some clarification to this issue.

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Iraqi Jewish Archive in California

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

The Nixon Library is a bit far from the main Jewish centers of Los Angeles,
but if you're out on the West Coast, you should make plans to see this
beautifully curated exhibit of items from the Iraqi Jewish Archives. . You
can even see a life-size picture of our own Dina Herbert working on the
collection.

http://www.nixonlibrary.gov/themuseum/exhibits/2015/DiscoveryRecovery.php

Please share this listing with anyone you know in Southern California. We
want the National Archives to see that we appreciate their part in
conserving our heritage. I was able to preview the exhibit while attending
a preservation workshop and it was well worth the drive.

Wishing you all a sweet and healthy New Year,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 19 is out!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Hi Racheli,

Now that I finally have a break between preparing for Conference, and the
conference itself, I took the time to open up Judaica Librarianship and
enjoy these great articles.

Did you ever send a copy of the article

The Younes And Soraya Nazarian Library, University of Haifa: Israel's
Northern Star

to Mr. and Mrs. Nazarian? I worked with Soraya last year on an exhibit in
my rare book room. I think she would be happy to see a copy of the article
(and maybe some money might be raised if she finds out about AJL). How
would I go about forwarding her a copy of the article?

Hag Same'ah,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Conservation and Preservation Learning Opportunities

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

I wanted to share with you all the weath of information about collection
care available from the American Institute for Conservation which has
graciously invited AJL membership to share in their wealth of knowledge in
the fields of preservation and conservation.

First of all, check out the free webinars at
http://www.conservation-us.org/education/education/connecting-to-collections-care-webinars#.VtX-WvkrJMw
Although many of the webinars do not pertain to books, I found their
webinar on pest management invaluable. I have reduced the number of insects
in the rare book room by 90%!

There is the AIC Wiki (http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Main_Page)
which highlights among many topics information on Preventive Care,
Exhibition Standards & Guidelines, Environmental Guidelines, and
Mountmaking.

STASH - Storage Techniques for Art, Science, and History Collections (
http://stashc.com/) has come about from expanding the publication *Storage
of Natural History Collections: Ideas and Practical Solutions. *It was
recognized throughout the community that bringing this information on line
and expanding upon the content could serve a greater collection care
community. The third Stash Flash session will be held during this year's
Montreal meeting.

There is also a framework and template available for Collection Care
Information Exchange Discussions (
http://www.conservation-us.org/publications-resources/collection-care).
Practitioners in the field often know that the solution is probably out
there and reaching out to colleagues can help solve a myriad of problems.
The framework provides a checklist to bring about fruitful exchanges and
communicate the results across institutions.

On the horizon there are projects we are developing now that surely the AJL
can help to shape and participate in. One example is the collection care
title and competencies project. We are polling the collection care
community to find out what titles and job descriptions are in use. Many
titles are in use, using relatively the same words in them, but they don't
share the same role.

Another project is the Lexicon, a collaborative wiki (
http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Lexicon) that is geared to the
general public. The aim is to "produce an illustrated glossary of terms
related to condition and conservation processes."

AIC also has an annual meeting in Montreal. The program underscores the
importance and value of collaboration with their allied professionals like
those of us in AJL.he full line up can be found at (
http://www.conservation-us.org/annual-meeting/allied-professionals-track).

Don't let your collections deteriorate on your shelves, learn what you can
do to protect your library.

Kol tuv,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Threats to Jewish Institutions

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

I gave a presentation on emergency preparedness at the 2013 AJL Conference.
Although most of my presentation had to do with care of books after a fire
or natural disaster, here are the notes for the page about active shooters:

And, in case of a shooting OR terrorist incident...

If you hear, “Lockdown” over the intercom or an administrator announces the
Lockdown in person, please immediately adhere to the following procedures:

1.Campus administrators will announce lockdown procedures by campus
intercom system.

2.Direct all students, staff, and visitors into a classroom or office
space.

3.Lock doors, cover windows, or lower blinds.

4.Block all doors with desk/shelf or anything that can create some
barricade between the door and intruder.

5.Move individuals away from windows, doors; Turn off lights and
computer monitors. Keep everyone quiet as possible.

6.Turn *OFF *all cell phones in the room, a light on your screen could
give you away.

7.Remain in sheltered area until “All Clear” signal is given by law
enforcement or administrators.

8.Note and report anyone missing to the Site Commander.
9.   During a local or regional emergency that extends beyond your
institution, cell phone lines might be limited to emergency personnel only,
but you should be able to text people.

10. Read through the entire instructions from Homeland Security

https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/active_shooter_pocket_card_508.pdf

Be sure to have a plan in place. I've cleared out a place to hide for our
patrons, have you?

Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VcSwejU2D0

Hope that all of these threats turn out to be false,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Giving Tuesday

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJLers,

As many of you know, November 29th has been dubbed "Giving Tuesday" where
everyone is asked to donate to their favorite charity. I am not asking for
your personal donation (although we'd be glad to accept it), but rather
that you spread the following message to friends and family through your
favorite method of contact. I will also be posting this on AJL's Facebook
page, so you can simply share that post or feel free to write anything
you'd like, followed by the donate link.

I hope you all will join me in asking for donations.

All the best,

Jackie

In a world where fake news passes for truth on Facebook, we need an
organization whose mission is to provide reliable resources are made
available in all formats and at all levels to anyone who seeks to study and
understand the Jewish experience. 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.

[ha-Safran] Fwd: 2017 Inquiry Fellowship

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Perhaps this fellowship will be a good project for someone you know.


-- Forwarded message --
From: Rotem Rozental, Assistant Dean 
Date: Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 9:00 AM
Subject: 2017 Inquiry Fellowship
To: jbenefr...@aju.edu



Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As we now enter another year of fellowship cycles, *we wish to thank each
and every **one of you for your continuous support, and for taking an
active part in our growing community.*

We recently launched a call for applications for the 2017 Inquiry
Fellowship, which can be found (and submitted) *in our website
.*

In this program, fellows are invited to join monthly sessions, to be held
over six months, during which they will be able to share ideas, interact
with colleagues, and meet Jewish thinkers and scholars. Inquiry is designed
to encourage exploration and learning of Jewish ideas, while developing the
meeting points between creative practice and the broader cultural context
in which artists work.

*Please spread the word* and share the link with your communities. We look
forward to expand this conversation and invite more creative minds to take
part. The deadline is January 11, 2017.


In Gratitude,

Rotem Rozental

[ha-Safran] LA Area Archivist Position

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

Here's another job listing that might work well for one of our members. You

food on Christmas? CSUN's holdings has a large collection of items about the 
Jewish community in China, especially those who fled there during WWII.

Hope we are reaching out to those MLIS members who work in archives,

Jackie

Dear Heidi,

Sharon read my mind! I just picked your podcast as one of my three favorite

Massachusetts.

You know you'll need to buy some warmer garments, but at least you'll be
leaving the hurricanes behind.

[ha-Safran] Need Helpers in the Conference Exhibit Hall

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJL Conference Attendees,

I need some people to help out in the exhibit hall during the conference.
You don't have to live in the Greater NYC area, just email me and let me
know if you can help with the setup on Monday morning between 9 am and 11
am or on Wednesday to pack up the unsold books (which hopefully will be
few) between 11:15 and 12 am. Who knows? You may walk away with some
goodies as a reward for your good deed.

I would also appreciate volunteers to occasionally check in with the
exhibitors to see if they need someone to cover their table while they
attend a session. Some of our exhibitors are also presenters.

Happy Yom Yerushalayim,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Free Database of the late Rabbi Schulweis' Writings

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

 Shalom to my Fellow Safranim,

I wanted to share with you the new FREE database of the writing and
recordings of the late Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis. He was a leading rabbi
here in Southern California for many years and his influence spread far
beyond our sunny shores.

I received the following information:

On April 14, 2017, in commemoration of what would have been the 92nd
birthday of Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis (z"l), who inspired so many lives
during his forty-two years as Senior Rabbi at Valley Beth Shalom, the *Harold
M. Schulweis Institute* proudly launched a *newly redesigned website at
www.hmsi.info
*.
The site provides new graphics and easy-to-navigate pages featuring:

   - The world's largest collection of Rabbi Schulweis' works
   - New content including sermons, poems, audio and video files, published
   articles, and text transcriptions of audio recordings
   - An advanced search engine using subject words within published
   material

In order to fulfill its mission to share Rabbi Schulweis' humanitarian and
moral vision for Jewish life and learning, the Institute will continue to
bring new content to the archive, including the recent discoveries of over
100 audio recordings and previously unreleased and unpublished works
authored by the Rabbi.


Looking forward to seeing you in New York,

Jackie

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Dear Safranim,

You want books? We have a host of vendors right at the conference ready to sell 
you titles in various formats to fill all of your library and personal needs. 
Last but not least we have a craft table so you can buy gifts for your friends 
and family in case books are too heavy to shlep home. 

Shabbat Shalom,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] In Commemoration of D-Day: a new blog from the Hebraic Section

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Hi Ann,

I took a moment to look at your post and I noticed that you included
the *Babylonian
Talmud * printed for the survivors of the Holocaust (often called the
*Survivor's
Talmud).*

I hold our complete set in the Lowy-Winkler Family Rare Book Center and
often work it into displays I create. I have been curious to find out
information about the artist who created the moving title page. Do you have
any information about "G. Rozenkrants?"

I look forward to any light you have to shed let on this unsung artist.

All the best,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Help AJL Affiliate

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJL Members,

At AJL's last conference in New York, the board voted to approve an
official path to affiliation with other library associations, as well
as with other Jewish organizations . Not only do we want to promote
the sharing of information between organizations, but we want to
emphasis the importance of libraries to other Jewish organizations and
that AJL exists.

The main requirement would be to convey information of interest, such
as upcoming conferences and webinars, to the affiliate, as well as
forwarding similar information from the affiliate to our membership.
In addition, AJL usually pays the affiliation fee of the other
organization and you won't have to pay for a membership.

If you are already a member of any of the organizations below, or
would like to act as AJL's liaison to one of these organizations,
please contact me at:
ajladmana...@gmail.com and I will send you the affiliation form.

[ha-Safran] Responding to Hurricane Harvey

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Good Morning,

I missed the announcement for this webinar while getting ready for Sukkot,
but if you scroll down the page linked below to Sept. 28th or October 5th,
you'll see the link to recordings of webinars on how to care for
collections damaged by the recent round of hurricanes. I haven't watched
them myself, as my library is safe and dry for now, but I thought I'd share
it with my colleagues who have been affected by this terrible storm season.
I hope this information is helpful.

Shalom Conference Attendees,

Don't forget to stop by and shop at our vendors, who will be set up in the

[ha-Safran] Free Emergency Training Webinar

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

*Shalom!*

*If you missed my emergency training presentation at AJL's conference in
Houston, you can attend a FREE webinar at Connecting to Collections, a part
of IMLS, on their website. I've pasted their invitation below.*

Please excuse cross postings.


Have you had an emergency that involved your collection? Were your
colleagues trained and ready to respond? After it was over, did you look at
your response? If so, how did you record what you learned? What changes did
you make to improve your emergency response in the future? This webinar
will help you to make sure your Emergency Plan is a living document by
focusing on learning opportunities both before and after emergencies:
training and after-action reviews. We will provide ideas for training all
staff who work with heritage collections and we’ll discuss how to debrief
after actual emergencies to learn from them in the most effective way.
Staying in “learning mode” most of the time enables your emergency team to
respond competently and creatively when an emergency occurs.



Check out our webinar on June 13th, 2:00-3:30 EDT

*Live and Learn: Collections Emergency Lessons and Training* https://www.
connectingtocollections.org/live-and-learn/



It's Free!

*Hope you never need to use this information,*

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 20 (2017)!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Kudos to Racheli and her editorial board for another jam packed
edition of *Judaica
Librarianship. *There are so many articles to read while curling up on
these cold winter nights (it does get cold in LA at night).

Kudos are also due to Zachary Baker, Pearl Berger and Dov Walfish for their
contributions to librarianship, bibliographic work and Judaic scholarship.

[ha-Safran] Dictionary of International Law

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

I have a patron looking for a modern Hebrew-English dictionary for legal
terms, especially with regards to international law. Does anyone know of a
title or reputable website I can recommend?

Thank you and hope to see you in Los Angeles for AJL 2019!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

The editors of the Jewish Review of Books have selected 10 previously-published

Kippur to Sukkot and Simchat Torah, and created a High Holiday Companion ebook. 
We hope that you will enjoy the articles, print them out to take to the 
synagogue, and share them with your communities. Best wishes for a sweet new 
year! 

You can read these articles at the following link created for AJL at:

[ha-Safran] 2018 Conference Program Book

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

Does anyone have an extra copy of the program book from Boston? I sent all
the copies I had to our advertisers and I don't have any left for my files.
Even though I have a digital copy, it helps to see exactly how things
turned out in the final printed version.

If you have an extra copy, please send it to my work address below and I'll
reimburse you for the cost of the postage.

Thank you so much,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] historic Arthur Szyk haggadah -- AVAILABLE!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

We also had an exhibit about the hidden messages in the Szyk Haggadah in
the Lowy-Winkler Rare Book Center at AJU. Mr. Ungar gave a in depth look at
the works of Arthur Szyk as part of that exhibit. There is so much more to
this haggadah than pretty pictures. Those who are interested should get a
copy of *Justice Illuminated : the art of Arthur Szyk  *printed by the
Arthur Szyk Society in 1999 or watch the 2008 DVD  *In Every Generation :
remaking the Szyk Haggadah.*

 I already have a copy in my collection, and highly recommend this if

 I offer this item FREE; I would appreciate reimbursement for shipping

[ha-Safran] Children's Writing Contest

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

Moment Magazine is holding a writing contest for children and asked me to
post the following information to HaSafran.

This is a great opportunity for children to engage and for families to
connect Jewishly. We believe that the children and families that visit your
libraries will benefit from participating in this contest.

Below is the contest URL and I have attached a graphic if that is easier
for you. We have bookmarks if that is helpful for the libraries.

https://www.momentmag.com/moments-2018-publish-a-kid-contest/


Looking forward to seeing many of you in Boston!

Re: [ha-Safran] The Little-known Language Spoken by Jews in the Medieval Arab World

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Hi Heidi,

I was not able to open the entire article while traveling in Israel. However I 
wanted to let you know that my Baghdadi in-laws spoke Judeo-Arabic at home and 
a friend who escaped Iraq at age 5 had his mouth stuffed with pita when 
crossing the border so as not to reveal that they were Jews. 

When I was at Columbia in the 1970s there a a Judeo-Arabic textbook or 
dictionary in the stacks. I wonder if it’s still there. 

Hag Same’ah,

[ha-Safran] 2019 Conference Site

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Hello AJLers,

I wanted to let you know that the venue where we will be holding the 54th
Annual Conference of the Association of Jewish Libraries from June 17 to
June 19, 2019 is safe from the fires raging across California. I want to
assure you that the fall is fire season here in Greater Los Angeles but you
will probably enjoy beautiful weather next June with warm days and pleasant
evenings perfect for sitting outside and networking with your colleagues.

The deadline for submissions is still *November 30, 2018*. You can check in
December for information on how to register or become a vendor at:
 https://jewishlibraries.org/Upcoming_Conference

By the way, I have been evacuated, but my home is safe and I am staying
mere blocks from the Marriott. I can't wait to share with you my usually
calm neighborhood.

Kol tuv,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Local Los Angeles Jewish Newspapers Available

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom!

I received the following email with regards to a collection of recent Jewish 
newspapers from the Los Angeles area. If you are interested in taking Ted up on 
his offer, Please contact me directly. 

Shavu’ah tov,

Jackie


Donation of Los Angeles Jewish newspapers offered   



I am writing to ask if you would like to receive a donation of a 
collection of about a decade of Jewish newspapers from Los Angeles and 
Southern California.  I began to collect the Jewish Journal in 2009 
because the Los Angeles Public Library did not collect the newspaper, 
and I had tried for about 10 years – unsuccessfully – to interest the 
librarians there in collecting and preserving the newspaper.  Since 
then, I have also collected several other Jewish newspapers and/or 
magazines.  I can no longer afford to store these newspapers and 
magazines, and so will be disposing of them by February 1, 2019.  I hope 
to find a local library to accept them before then; otherwise, I will 
have to throw them out.

The newspapers/magazines that I have collected include the following:

•   Jewish Journal, from May 15, 2009 through the end of 2018.  This 
collection is incomplete in the early years.  For 2009, there are about 
50% of the issues from May 15 forward.  For 2010, I have 40 of the 51 
issues; for 2011, 44 of the 51 issues; for 2012, 49 of the 51 issues; 
for 2013, 50 of the 51 issues.  2014 through 2016 and 2018 are complete, 
while 1 issue is missing for 2017.
•   Tribe, a magazine published by the same publishers as the Jewish 
Journal, focusing on Ventura County and the Conejo Valley.  The magazine 
was monthly, with two double issues, producing 10 or 11 issues per year 
(depending on how they were counted, since the double issues were for 
June/July and December/January).   My collection includes 8 issues for 
2010; 5 issues for 2011; 10 issues for 2012 (missing the December 
2011/January 2012 issue); all issues for 2013 and 2014; and all but one 
of the issues for 2015.
•   Jewish Home, a newspaper published for the Orthodox Jewish community 
in Los Angeles.  It has far more coverage of the local Jewish community 
than the Jewish Journal, but only of the Orthodox community.  The 
newspaper is published approximately every two weeks, and my collection 
starts in the middle of volume 2 in 2014.  For 2014, it includes issues 
13 through 24, from July 10 to December 18; for 2015 (volume 3) there is 
a complete run of 26 issues; for 2016 (volume 4), it includes 25 of 28 
issues; for 2017 (volume 5), 21 of 28 issues; and for 2018 (volume 6), 
24 of 26 issues.
•   Shavua Israel, a weekly Jewish newspaper published in Hebrew and aimed 
at the Israeli community in Southern California.  My collection is 
partial, including 4 issues for the second half of 2014; 6 issues for 
2015; 19 issues for 2016; 18 issues for 2017; and 29 issues for 2018.
•   We Are In America, a monthly Jewish magazine published in Hebrew and 
aimed at the Israeli community in Southern California.  My collection is 
again partial, including 5 issues in 2015; 8 issues in 2016; 10 issues 
in 2017; and 11 issues in 2018.

I can provide more detailed spreadsheets showing which issues are 
included, and which are missing, upon request.

I can deliver these newspapers and magazines to your library if you are 
willing to accept them.  I am sending this letter to librarians at the 
Los Angeles Public Library, American Jewish University, and Hebrew Union 
College/Jewish Institute of Religion.  If I can find the name of a 
librarian at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, I will also send a copy to them.

If you have no use for these newspapers but know of another library 
(Jewish or not) that might want to preserve these issues, please feel 
free to either pass this e-mail along, or forward to me the names of an 
appropriate librarian there.

Sincerely,

[ha-Safran] American Printing History Association Call for Papers

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Please read through the call for papers below, they are calling for history
of Jewish printing in America. Here is a great opportunity to spread the
word about AJL and Jewish printing history.

The American Printing History Association (APHA) National Conference
on October 25-27, 2019

*One Press, Many Hands: Diversity in the History of American Printing*

University of Maryland, College Park

October 25 to October 27, 2019

Proposals are due by May 17, 2019

CALL FOR PROPOSALS PDF




APHA welcomes research papers, panels, roundtables, or workshops covering
diversity in the history of American printing. APHA’s 2019 conference, *One
Press, Many Hands*, intends to shed light on the rich history of printing
and publishing in America from diverse groups. Generations of past scholars
in the field have devoted their research to studies rooted in Eurocentric
and Anglo-American histories of printing. However, as the United States
becomes increasingly diverse communities of scholarship have sought to
engage with issues that have arisen from the transformation in our national
demographic makeup.

We invite contributions from members of both traditional and emerging
communities of scholarship that center on book and printing history, the
book arts, bibliographic studies, print culture studies, LGBTQ+ and ethnic
studies and the intersections that exist between them. We invite
researchers to explore the history of printing among marginalized and
underrepresented minority groups through a critical lens. This includes
Asian, Black/African American, disability, feminist, immigrant, indigenous,
Jewish, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Muslim, refugee, and other communities that
collectively help to make up the diverse fabric of American society. The
scope is expansive, encompassing any aspect of book/periodical/ephemera
production (typography, papermaking, binding, small press, etc.), printing,
printmaking, and graphic design based in North America, South America, the
Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands.

Questions? *jeric...@udel.edu *

[ha-Safran] New Hotel Link for AJL's 54th Annual Conference

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom!

I know that many of you had problems trying to book the hotel rooms for the
upcoming conference.
Due to technical difficulties, the Marriott had to reissue a new link:

Book your group rate for Association of Jewish Libraries Annual Conference
Room Block



The good news is that they added more nights as part of our block, giving
you more time to enjoy the many Jewish cultural institutions in the Greater
Los Angeles area.

Please let me know if you have any further difficulties,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Help our Affiliate, AIC

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom!

AJL is now an affiliate of The American Institute for Conservation. I was asked 
to post the following call for website testers. It's not a big time commitment, 
and AJLers should show their support by volunteering for this quick task.

Hag Same'ah,

Jackie

The American Institute for Conservation (AIC) recently completed a major 
upgrade and redesign of its website. The goal for our new website and online 
community platform is to capably serve both AIC members (i.e. professional 
conservators and allied professionals) in accessing member services, as well as 
non-members looking to understand more about our field, hire conservators or 
find information on preserving cultural heritage. 

 

We are hoping to identify a number of people who are interested in 
preservation, consumers of conservation/preservation services, or  website 
development and functionality to serve on a AIC web users focus group.  
Participants would provide feedback on experiences completing tasks such as 
finding a conservator, accessing a journal article, registering for a program, 
etc. or other topics of interest.  This is not a major time commitment and is a 
chance to help ensure that our platforms enable the Collections/Registration 
community to efficiently find information and services that meet your needs. 

 

If you or anyone you know is interesting in assisting please reach to me 
off-list at rarenst...@culturalheritage.org

Thank you,

Rachael

[ha-Safran] Not Too Late to Visit Kline Books

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

If you have not already responded no fears … if you arrive in the afternoon
and want to come by, just jump on the shuttle.

All members of the AJL, their significant others and any of their friends
who are in town are invited on
Sunday, June 16th  to an open house at our office and showroom in the San
Fernando Valley from 12pm to 7pm.

We have arranged for a shuttle, an 11 passenger van, to drive between the
host Marriott hotel in Woodland Hills and our office in Panorama City.

The drive takes approximately 25-30 minutes each way and the van will try
to leave the hotel on the hour starting at 12 noon
with the last ride back to the hotel at 7pm; in time for everyone to make
it to the movie that is scheduled to begin at 7:30 across the street.

We will be serving light food and wine — Kosher fare of course.

You are all welcome and I hope that you will be able to find the time
before the board meeting, during the day or after, to come by and
see the scope of our operation.

If you are driving yourself or want to come in an uber or on some other
means of transportation.

Our office, showroom and warehouse is located at:

The Valley Indoor Swap meet building

14650 Parthenia Street
Second Floor
Panorama City CA 91402
(818) 920-9968

Our entrance is though an outside set of blue fire escape doors and up two
flights of stairs.
But for those who would like to take an elevator, we can arrange for this
to happen as well.

We know that this invitation is late in coming and apologize for all of you
who will not have had the opportunity
to arrive earlier in the day to share in the experience and festivities.

Wishing you all well, and look forward to seeing you in LA in June.

PS: I have been advised by the event organizers that it would behoove me to
ask if you think that you can make it
to our event, as this will help with preparing food and drink.
However — not contacting us, should not be a reason for you not to jump on
the shuttle and come by.

Moadim LSimcha

[ha-Safran] Fwd: AIC Annual Meeting: Call for Presentations - Suggest a Concurrent General Session Topic

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

We are affiliates of AIC, and if someone wanted to present a paper on
conservation, I'd be happy to swap  my affiliate registration spot with you.

Kol tuv,

Jackie




Dear Mrs. Jackie Benefraim,

The American Institute for Conservation’s 48th Annual Meeting will be held
in Salt Lake City, UT, May 19-23, 2020. Pre-sessions will take place on May
19 and 20, and will consist of workshops, seminars, and study tours. The
main conference on May 21-23 will feature general and specialty sessions
focused on the following theme:

“*Conservation - Reactive and Proactive”*

We work in a rapidly changing world. Globally, the economy is volatile, the
marketplace demanding, and the negative impact of climate change looms
large in conservation. Many collecting institutions have shifted their
priorities to preventive conservation for collections and interactive
learning in exhibitions, which can decrease emphasis on traditional
conservation treatment and the supremacy of original display materials.
Conservation professionals are drawing from a wide skill set to respond to
these challenges in creative and productive ways. From offering
conservation services that go beyond treatment, to focusing on
sustainability, to utilizing materials science and technical art history in
public education, our field is adapting and evolving. In 2020, we’ll
explore ways we can anticipate and embrace change. How are you meeting your
biggest challenges? Please join us to share your triumphs and reflect on
areas for growth.
--

*Call for Concurrent General Session Topics and Session Organizers – Act by
July 2nd!*
Do you have an idea – related to *Conservation: Reactive and Proactive *– that
would make a great concurrent general session, and are you willing to serve
as the session’s chair? Do you have an idea for a half-day or full-day
pre-session seminar? If so, please contact AIC Vice-President and General
Session Program Chair Suzanne Davis at davi...@umich.edu .
Include a proposed title, length and format (for pre-sessions), and a brief
description of the topics to be covered. Multi-disciplinary topics are
encouraged. Those proposing a sub-topic for a concurrent general session
must be willing to serve on the General Session Program Committee. Please
email your ideas to Suzanne Davis by *July 2, 2019.*
--

*2020 Call for Presentations for Main Conference*
AIC is seeking abstracts for four separate Calls for Presentations for the
2020 annual meeting. All abstracts should be no more than 500 words with a
separate 300-word biography. The four calls include:

*Opening General Session* – for 2020 we are seeking short, idea-focused
talks that address the concept of *Navigating Change. *Following a format
begun in 2019, these 12-minute talks should include only a few slides in a
style similar to TED talks. We hope to feature talks from a diversity of
voices and perspectives, addressing big-picture issues in conservation and
collections care. Please note that submitting an idea-focused talk to the
opening session does not preclude submission of a separate abstract to the
concurrent general sessions or to the specialty group sessions.

*Concurrent General Session, Specialty Session, and Poster Session *–
*Abstracts *submitted to the main conference for *concurrent* or
*specialty/network
sessions *should conform to AIC's standard arrangement of no more than 2
speakers presenting in a 30-minute time slot. If you would like your
abstract to be considered for a poster presentation, *you must select
“poster” as one of your choices in the abstract form*. Unless you are
submitting a topic only for consideration as a poster, please select poster
as your third choice. For abstracts submitted only to the poster session,
please select “poster” for all choices. The review of poster abstracts
follows the review of talk abstracts.

*Workshops *– Workshops can be a half day, full day, or two days long and
may take place in a conference center meeting room or in a lab/facility at
a cultural institution in Salt Lake City. Preference will be given to
proposals that have clear learning outcomes for conservation professionals
and that involve discussions, demonstrations, and practical interactions
appropriate to achieve those goals.

*Pre-meeting or Lunch-time Sessions *– AIC also considers topics for a
half-day pre-meeting session or for 60- to 90-minute panel presentations
that don’t really fit in the other categories for pre-sessions or lunchtime
programing.
--

All abstracts are due by 11:59 pm on Monday, September 16, 2019. Please
check the call for submissions webpage regularly for updated information.
The abstract submission portal will be open in late July.

[ha-Safran] Internship Opportunity

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

*Here is another opportunity that was stuck in my inbox during conference.*

The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is pleased to invite
applications for the sixth VRAF Internship Award

in
visual resources and image management. This internship is generously funded
by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.

The VRAF Internship Award provides financial support for graduate students
and recent graduates preparing for a career in visual resources and image
management. The award grants $3,000 to support a period of internship in
archives, libraries, museums, visual resources collections in academic
institutions, or other appropriate contexts. It also provides $1,000 for
professional development, and a one-year complimentary student membership
in the Visual Resources Association.

Candidates should apply after developing a project with a specific
collection and prospective supervisor. Priority will be given to applicants
who submit digital projects that support art historical or related visual
cultural heritage research and scholarship. The VRAF Internship Award
Committee favors opportunities in which the intern may integrate skills
acquired during the course of his or her academic training to manage a
project from beginning to end, with the host institution receiving needed
help in making valuable but hidden cultural collections visible. Projects
that would not occur without funding for an intern may be given special
consideration. A complete description of the internship and application
instructions are available at: https://vrafoundation.com/internship-award/

.

*Applications are due on August 2, 2019.* The award recipient for 2019-2020
will be announced on August 26, 2019.

Re: [ha-Safran] AJL Weekly Conference Update!

Shalom AJLers,

I need to erase the airports sign up on the whiteboard and replace it with
the correct link.

If you want to share rides with fellow attendees, sign up at:

*https://tinyurl.com/AJLflights *

There's still time to register for the conference, but the hotel is filling
up fast.

Looking forward to seeing you all in LA,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Please Participate in the Preservation Statistics Survey

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

AJL is an affiliate of the American Institute for Conservation who send out
the following request. I am the liaison between AIC and AJL. I would really
like several members of AJL to show what a conscientious organization we
are by participating in the following survey. It doesn't take too long.

Have a great summer,

Jackie

Dear Colleagues,

The *FY2018* *Preservation Statistics Survey* is now open!

LINK to Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JXXMFVB


The Preservation Statistics Survey is an effort coordinated by the
Preservation Standards and Practices Committee (PS) under the
Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS) of the American Library
Association (ALA) and the Association of Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS).

Preservation data from our most recent survey FY2017, as well as past
surveys, can be downloaded from the Preservation Statistics

webpage.

Who should participate? Any library or archives in the United States
conducting preservation activities may complete this survey. We recommend
that you first download the Pres Stats worksheet

to
have your data on hand as you fill out the survey. General Criteria and
Instructions are included, but for a more extensive look on criteria for
answering the survey questions and for our FAQs list, check out our
Instructions
and Definitions document.


What are we counting? Questions focus on *production-based* preservation
activities for *fiscal year 2018*, documenting your institution's
conservation treatment, general preservation activities, preservation
reformatting and digitization, and digital preservation and digital asset
management activities. "FY2018" is whatever period of time your institution
defines as a fiscal year: if that is from October to September, July to
June, or by calendar year (January to December), that is fine. You are
reporting a year's worth of activities.

Why are we counting it? The goal of the Preservation Statistics Survey is
to document the state of preservation activities in this digital era via
quantitative data that facilitates peer comparison and tracking changes in
the preservation and conservation fields over time. For more information
about this project, please refer to the Preservation Statistics Survey
website .

**NEW* Based on last years feedback and an open forum held fall 2018, we
are piloting a new section on Preservation Unit Staffing & Budget. We may
collect this data every-other year, depending on this years feedback by
respondents.

Deadline to participate in the Preservation Survey FY2018 is August 16, 2019
*.*

Sincerely,

Preservation Standards & Practices committee (PS)
ALCTS/PARS, American Library Association (ALA)

[ha-Safran] Downloadable Haggadot

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

As I sat down to clear out my inbox after clearing out my hametz, I
realized that I received about a dozen haggadaot to either read online or
download and print.

I was curious as to whether any institution was saving these links,
downloading the files or printing them out to save as part of their
collection. I'm sure that many of the timely issues discussed in these
ephemeral works will be interesting to future generations.

Mo'adim le-simha,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] The Library as a Space for Data

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

We received the following request from the Romanian Library Association.
Please show your support by filling out the brief survey at the second link
below:

Comment: Dear librarian, kind receiver

I'm Nicolaie, a researcher for the LIS community of kosson.ro and Romanian
Library Association. I take a deep interest to what is the place of date in
the library's daily activities with an acute accent on what training and
qualification should be.

At the beginning of the year, I wrote a brief study about where is the
place of data in training the librarians as this new set of needed
qualifications entered libraries also -
http://www.rrbsi.ro/index.php/rrbsi/article/view/73.

It is time to extend my research beyond what search engines/databases are
able to reveal. I need to get grass-roots answers from the global scope,
and this is the reason I ask for a bit of help in completing my research.

For speeding up the process, I designed a form that can be completed in a
few minutes. The form is accessible here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMZfhjRsN1eiIv21V_jptwVfnzs9H3rqNZ-7xuzEdeFhrJJg/viewform

Please, make this form known high and low to all those interested in the
new possible roles of the future librarian.

Thank you very much for your time.

[ha-Safran] New Book Announcement

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

Below is a post from a new HaSafran sponsor:

Dear readers,
The new book, “The Girl in the Haystack,” tells the true-life story of an
Atlantic City woman who, as a young Jewish girl in western Ukraine during
World War II, survived a pogrom, the Tuchin ghetto, and nearly two years in
hiding, in haystacks. Key to her survival were a Ukrainian farmer, since
recognized by Yad Vashem, and his dog.
While the book isn’t a children’s book, per se, it reaches middle readers.
Described as “moving and original,” “riveting,” and “historically accurate”
by, respectively, Omer Bartov, Michael Berenbaum, and Modecai Paldiel, the
book is available widely and distributed by:
https://itascabooks.com/the-girl-in-the-haystack/

Please direct any questions about this work to bryon...@gmail.com

[ha-Safran] Need Help with Elazar

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

*Shalom,*

*Nancy has contacted AJL with questions as to how to catalog in Elazar.
Please see her question below and respond to her directly. I will of course
let her know that by joining AJL she will have access to numerous resources
to help with her task.*

We have a library at our JCC in Boulder Colorado with about 10,000 books.
We are looking for advice on how to obtain call for books using the Elazar
cataloging system. We have not had a consistent librarian for the last 6
years. We activated some new library volunteers and they were starting to
catalog some new books into our collection but the collection is not
organized by the Dewey system. We think the original librarian used the
Elazar system.  Can you offer some direction?

[ha-Safran] Free Archiving and Preservation Webinars

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

You may want to attend these FREE webinars in order to prepare and prevent
catastrophic library fires and how to quickly process your archives. Please
excuse any cross posting.

Enjoy the rest of your summer,


Jackie

Connecting to Collections Care is offering two free webinars in late August
–early September. Join us for either one or both.




Don’t Fan the Flames: Understanding fire and what to do about it:
Wednesday, August 21, 2019, 2:00 – 3:30 EDT.

Every year there are major news stories about fires in cultural heritage
institutions or the wildfires threatening them. With the recent incident at
Notre Dame fresh in our minds, join Donia Conn to learn about the nature of
fire, what can do at your institution to prevent fire, and how to mitigate
the impact of a fire. She will cover the chemistry and mechanics of fire,
how it spreads, and how a fire department works when they are on site to
fight a fire. With this knowledge, participants will gain insight into how
their building layout, storage areas, and landscaping affect fire
vulnerability. The webinar will enable you to have a more knowledgeable
conversation with your local fire department as you build a good working
relationship and improve their preparedness to fight a fire at your
institution. We will go over how to assess your institution for fire safety
and how to create a checklist of problems to correct in order to be as fire
ready as possible.

https://www.connectingtocollections.org/fires/





Archival Processing – Principles and Practical Strategies:Thursday,
September 5, 2019, 2:00 – 3:30 EDT.

Archival processing is a crucial element of collections care and
stewardship. Processing is how we know what we have in our collections, how
we ensure our collections’ ongoing preservation and security, and how we
make our collections available to the public. But how much processing is
enough? Does every document require its own housing and description or can
we arrange and describe materials in aggregates? How do we determine what’s
necessary? How quickly can I make a new collection available to
researchers? Can it be minimally processed and safely made available in the
reading room? How can I easily make collection descriptions available
online and what is the minimal amount of information necessary for them to
be useful? This webinar will discuss the basic principles of archival
arrangement and description, including imposing basic physical and
intellectual control over new acquisitions, minimal processing standards,
descriptive standards and practices, and practical strategies for managing
a processing program with limited staff and resources. Our goal will be to
help you identify practical solutions for overcoming barriers to processing
in your home institution.

smaller cultural institutions to provide well-informed care for their
valuable collections. All content in the C2C Care Community, with the
exception of special courses,is provided for *FREE*. This service is a

Re: [ha-Safran] Kol Hakavod to AJL new editor for the AJL News and Reviews Nov./Dec. issue

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

I too wish to add my delight with the current issue of AJL's *News and
Reviews.*

You can spread the word to your colleagues who are not yet AJL members that
if they manage Judaica collections, or just curate a small shelf of Jewish
themed books in a public library, they need to have access to the marvelous
resource.

[ha-Safran] Book Giveaway

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

I am writing on behalf of Beth Mills.  She would like to give away a book
of her grandmother's poetry to AJL members. Below is a  description of the
book.

*A Life: Khane Bushel Solow 1892-1966*

Khane Bushel Solow began her life in Slonim, Belarus. She emigrated in 1914
and was active as a Yiddish writer in N.Y. City until the 1950’s. Her work
was recently translated into English. Khane wrote movingly of her old home
in Slonim, of her family and their fates, and of the effect the war had on
the whole community of Eastern European Jews. In her later years, she
reflected back on her life and what it was to be a Jewish woman poet in
those days.


If you are interested, please email Beth directly at
bethsmi...@sbcglobal.net

Kol tuv,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Paper History Congress Call for Papers

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

*Shalom,*

*Any paper you might present on the topic of paper history that relates to
a Judaic collection might be of interest to AJL as well!*

*Gmar Hatimah Tovah,*

*Jackie*

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*IPH Congress 2020, Washington DC, September 15-18 *

The 35th Biennial Congress of the International Paper Historians (IPH) will
be held in Washington, DC from September 15 - 18, 2020. The congress,
entitled *Investigating American Collections on Paper*, is the first in the
United States since 1982. It will be co-hosted by the Library of Congress,
the National Gallery of Art, and the National Archives and Records
Administration.

The congress will focus on paper, whatever its source, used as the primary
material for objects in American museums, libraries, archives and private
collections. Books, manuscripts, works of art, ephemera, and other
documents are acquired by our institutions from many countries and regions
of the world, in addition to North and South America. Because of this, we
welcome research on any papers, regardless of origin, so long as they may
be found in American collections. Whether these papers' origins are
domestic or imported, we ask researchers to consider the American connection
*.*

Presentations are sought for the following main themes:

   1. Papermaking in the Americas from pre-colonial times to the present.
   2. Studies of papers, regardless of place of making, used by printers,
   artists, and literary or historical figures, particularly American.
   3. The international paper trade, especially commerce between European
   and Asian papermaking centers and the Western Hemisphere, with a focus on
   economic trends, paper production, distribution, and marketing.
   4. New technologies in paper studies, such as new techniques for
   recording watermarks and other physical characteristics of paper, or the
   evolving use of databases for managing and sharing watermark images and
   information.
   5. A limited number of talks on topics outside these subject areas may
   also be selected.

In addition to talks, the *Investigating American Collections on Paper* will
feature tours of special collections at the hosting institutions, allowing
participants to examine manuscripts, maps, music collections, works of art,
rare books, and paper sample collections of the National Gallery, Library
of Congress, and the National Archives and Records Administration. The
local arrangements committee will offer special visits and tours of museums
and monuments in the Washington area.  Opportunity for discussion and
exchange will take place at lunches and receptions for congress
participants.

IPH members may enjoy reduced registration fees. Visit www.paperhistory.org for
more information and to join.

*Instructions for proposals:*

Anyone wishing to present a paper is invited to send a short abstract in
English (maximum 300 words) in Word or .rtf format, by January 15, 2020.
Proposals should be sent by email to the IPH Congress 2020 Planning
Committee at *iph202...@gmail.com  *and include the
words "*ABSTRACT 2020"* in the subject line.

The proposal should provide the following in English:

   - Name, professional title, and short biography (under 150 words) of
   each author
   - Author(s) e-mail, street address, and telephone number with country
   code
   - Name of the primary author (if more than one) with whom the organizers
   should communicate
   - Title of the presentation
   - Summary of content (maximum 300 words) in Word or .rtf format.
   (Additional abstracts in French or German are welcome)

The length of oral presentations at the congress will be approximately 20
minutes. Languages, in order of preference, are: English, French, and
German. If a presentation is to be in French or German, PowerPoint slides
should contain a brief synopsis in English. Please note that translation
will not be provided, except for translation of abstracts into English,
French, and German in the preprints.

The planning committee will notify presenters about acceptance of their
proposals by March 15, 2020, and will provide guidelines for authors at
that time.

With our best wishes,
