Introduction to Elazar for Synagogue Libraries
Mondays, January 10, 17, and 24, 2022 via Zoom
4:30PM PT / 7:30PM ET (90 minutes)

Instructor: Marcie Eskin
Organizing a synagogue’s collection is crucial to maintaining a library rather
than a “room full of books.” This three-session course will provide synagogue
librarians and volunteers with tools to catalog and classify their Judaica,
focusing on the Elazar Classification System, one option for smaller libraries.
We’ll also share our experiences with cataloging and with automation systems
and work together to tackle challenging classification questions.
As librarian at Beth Hillel Bnai Emunah in Wilmette, Illinois, and North
Suburban Synagogue Beth El in Highland Park, Illinois, instructor Marcie Eskin
has been cataloging adult and children’s materials in synagogue libraries for
more than twenty years. A past president of AJL’s Chicago chapter, Marcie is a
member of AJL’s conference planning committee, serving as conference registrar
since 2015. Marcie holds a BA in government from Cornell University and a
master’s degree in library and information science from Dominican University.

This highly interactive class will teach the management skills needed to
understand the business of running your library with the goals of knowing what
your leadership expects, learning how to make yourself and the library
relevant, and ensuring the library is a priority in your institution. Topics
covered include determining objectives and goals; developing mission statements
and strategic plans; organizing time, money, facilities, and people;
prioritizing; and directing and monitoring others. The course will include
homework, discussions, and an assignment due at the end of the third session.
