As many of your know, I recently spoke with representatives of Publishers Weekly about getting a discount for AJL members. However, when I surveyed our membership to see if this was something desirable, the overwhelming majority said “no,” mainly because PW is considered too general to be relevant for Judaica libraries.
PW sent me this follow-up with information about their free Religion Bookline e-newsletter, as well as the schedule of religion coverage in the magazine. They understand that PW may not be as useful to Judaica libraries as public libraries, but they do want to make sure we are aware of their services that we may find relevant. Here’s the info: A.) We have a FREE e-newsletter titled Religion Bookline. It comes out once a month on weds and covers all things relative to religion titles. You and your membership can sign up here: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/email-subscriptions/index.html In book/online/ app B.) Our Religion Updates supplements come out 4 times a year in Feb, May, Aug, and Oct. - They cover all things happening in religion titles and is filled with bestseller list, industry trends and cover a specific feature such as Religion books in libraries for children for example C.) Spring Religion Announcement issue in March which covers all new title releases for Spring D.) Fall Religion Announcement issue in July which covers all new titles for Fall E.) We also had/have 4 other editorial features on religious titles aside from the issues listed above. As you can see we do an extensive amount of coverage to this segment and I am hopeful that maybe a good chunk of your members just aren’t aware of how much we actually commit to the religion titles. I hope you’ll find this information useful. Heidi Estrin President, AJL presid...@jewishlibraries.org
