________________________________ From: Hasafran <hasafran-boun...@lists.osu.edu> on behalf of Rachel Leket-Mor <rachel.leket-...@asu.edu> Sent: Tuesday, January 2, 2018 2:16:06 PM To: Hasafran Listserv Subject: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 20 (2017)! Dear colleagues, Happy New Year! I am pleased to announce that volume 20 of Judaica Librarianship is out! The 2017 issue (published December 31) incudes research and essay articles, reviews, and two columns, one of them is our new JS/DH (Jewish Studies/ Digital Humanities) column by Michelle Chesner. For more information, please see the Table of Content below and my Editor’s Note (attached, also available on the journal’s site). The expanded editorial section is dedicated to three remarkable AJL members who have been involved in AJL’s scholarly journal for decades. Pearl Berger and Barry Walfish both retired from their day jobs and JL’s editorial board; their contributions to our profession and academic journal are celebrated in this section. Zachary Baker retired from Stanford University Libraries after decades of outstanding career, including heavy involvement in JL and, of course, editing the journal from 2005 to 2012. During his editorship, he changed the format of the journal and published five issues (Vols. 12–16/17), all available in digital format on the JL site. Arthur Kiron’s tribute to this “exemplary citizen of the profession of Judaica librarianship” is followed with Zachary’s published works, an enhanced version (so I hope, I did my best!) of his unpublished CV. I would like to warmly welcome our two new editorial board members, Drs. Rebecca Jefferson, Head of Price Library of Judaica, University of Florida Libraries and Rachel Heuberger, Judaica Division, University Library Frankfurt am Main (Germany). From the bottom of my heart I thank our excellent, thoughtful volunteer copyeditors Nancy Sack and Judy Woltfhal who helped me to bring this issue to fruition. A big thank-you to JL editorial board member Arthur Kiron, who helped me plotting the special editorial section, and to Heidi Lerner who was our accomplice. Lastly, I thank my family who both supported and missed me during the many, many hours I was “jl-ing,” particularly during the last few weeks. On behalf of JL’s editorial board, congratulations to all authors!

If you are a paid member of AJL (membership renewal emails were sent in the fall), you should have access to all current content of the journal. Access is enabled by creating a personal account on that site; please contact me if you forgot your login email or can’t log in for some other reason. Feel free to promote the new issue on social media! You can do it by “sharing” links from the article-level pages on the site. Please do not share the PDF files themselves, they will become open access in 12 months. The reason for this request is simple: while the work on the journal is voluntary, the pricy online hosting is paid for with AJL member-supported funds. We appreciate your support of AJL’s scholarly journal. Judaica Librarianship 20 (2017) Editorials 1.
