Of the recent fiction, I think Life, After by Sarah Littman is superb
and I hope it wins the Sydney Taylor Award. Other top choices of mine
would be Eve Tal's Double Crossing and its sequel, Cursing
Columbus. I was disappointed that these didn't receive top recognition!

At the same time, it might be time for us all to think about the
environmental impact. I also much prefer reading in print, rather
than on screen, but I'm thinking it's our
This came across through a colleague:
So we bought the new book on Hank Jones published by Alphascript
Publishing for the library at Brigham Young University. What? Never
heard of the book? Well, I would tell you the author of the book if I
knew it. Turns out that Alphascript Publishing, a
Dear Stephanie Gross,
So glad you referred to Adaire Klein's award by the Special Library
Association in your posting to Hasafran on Sept. 28. FYI, Adaire is
also a member of our local chapter, AJL of Southern California, and I
have uploaded the SLA article to our website for all to read.

I was mistaken my sister was using LibrarySoft at her synagogue. She
does not have any Hebrew or Yiddish books to catalog just
English. The two programs that got the most votes were ResourceMate
3.0 and LibraryWorld. ResourceMate had 10 votes, LibraryWorld had 6
votes and

I would also be very sorry if we did not have a printed
Newsletter. Perhaps the quality of the paper could be downgraded to
save money. I do know that many librarians use our reviews as the
best source for new Judaica materials.

machzor starting this year. Therefore we have many copies of the
older, Silverman Machzor that we would like to give away. Many of
these are copies that the synagogue had available for people who did
