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.
