RAS Roundtable: Cataloging Forum—LCDGT Thursday, November 17, 2022 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET / 7:30 pm Israel Time
A patron is looking for a specific book, for example, one written by a Hebrew language instructor and intended for students of the Hebrew language. To help with the search, the cataloger might include specific headings in the bibliographic record. These headings are the Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT)—a controlled vocabulary created by the Library of Congress to supplement the Library of Congress Subject Headings by bringing out the demographic group of the author and/or the intended audience. This forum will discuss the best practice use of the LCDGT headings, where in the bibliographic record and Name Authority Records these LCDGT headings are recorded, and the process of submitting proposals for new LCDGT headings. This event is sponsored by AJL’s RAS division and is for AJL members only. All members are welcome. SSCPL Roundtable: Synagogue Archives Thursday, December 8, 2022 4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET Synagogue archives are rapidly up-and-coming community archive repositories. Often run by committed volunteers, librarians, or others, they tend to fall outside the bounds of “traditional” archives. In this roundtable, we will discuss the basics of archives and synagogue archives and highlight available resources, with the aim of creating a support network for those who have taken responsibility for a synagogue archive. Hannah Srour-Zackon is the archivist and museum director at Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal, Quebec—Canada's second oldest synagogue. She is a member of the executive board of AJL-Canada and serves on the AJL Jewish Fiction Award and Education committees. This session is sponsored by AJL's SSCPL Division and is for members only. All members are welcome. Fall 2022 Kidlit Author Showcase Monday, December 12, 2022 4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET CALL FOR AUTHORS!

Books About Books: Libraries and Readers in Interwar Yiddish Paris Thursday, December 15, 2022 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET / 7:30 pm Israel Time Home to a large, Yiddish-speaking Jewish population, interwar Paris was a hub of global Yiddish culture. Multiple leftist Yiddish libraries provided communal spaces and written materials for workers and immigrants to learn about Jewish and French radical politics. Nick Underwood will describe the spectrum of leftist Yiddish-language libraries in Paris and explore the divisions and the collaborations among them. Nick Underwood is assistant professor of history and the Berger/Neilsen Chair of Judaic Studies at The College of Idaho. He is author of Yiddish Paris: Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France, which was published in 2022 by Indiana University Press. This session is sponsored by AJL's RAS Division and is for members only. All members are welcome.
