2004-12-06 Thread Dan Wyman
Dear Friends,

Thank you for another successful year!

As we prepare to close out the calendar year, we are putting the vast
majority of our online stock of thousands of Jewish books
on sale at an incredible 40% off (25% on individual items over $100.00).
This includes all books, pamphlets & periodicals from our online searchable
database with an inventory number between 1-13312 (inventory numbers appear
at the very end of each book description).

To receive this huge discount on your order, please use our online search at

http://www.usedbookcentral.com/cgi-bin/texis/scripts/ubc/dealerpage.html?sid=10612

and prepay for your order using a major credit card (institutional libraries
may be billed as usual).

You may also order books from our catalogs; they will qualify for sale
pricing if you prepay for them with a credit card and if they include an
inventory number between 1-13312 (note: this is not the item number from the
catalog).

As always, all items are 100% returnable for any reason, and are offered
subject to prior sale, first come, first served.


ALL ORDERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE END OF SUNDAY, DECEMBER 19, TO QUALIFY

Dan

[ha-Safran]: Lashon ha-tov: AJL member in the news

2004-12-06 Thread Ann Abrams
There's a nice piece in the Fall issue of  Pakn Treger: the magazine of the 
Nat'l Yiddish Book center, about Fay Zipkowitz, an AJL member from 
Leverett, MA, and cataloguer of the Center's collection.  (Some of Pakn 
Treger is available online, but not this article.)

[Hasafran] Teaching Jewish Values

2004-12-06 Thread Anne Dublin
At the AJL Convention in Toronto (2003), I presented a session along with 
my co-authors, Donna Robins and Myrna Ross re. teaching Jewish values 
through literature in the supplementary Jewish school (Kindergarten to 3rd 
grade). At the time,  I offered to send you a CD of the curriculum unit 
after the revisions were made. Finally, I can reiterate my offer. The 
curriculum is now ready for distribution. You will see in the introduction 
that we're happy if you use these lessons, as long as you give us credit as 
authors.
Furthermore, these lessons can be adapted for day schools as a source of 
enrichment for your students.
If you'd like a CD, please reply to this e-mail by Dec. 20/04 along with 
your name and mailing address. If you're planning to attend AJL mid-winter 
meetings, I can bring a CD for you if you let me know in advance.
To cover costs, please send a money order or cheque in the amount of $4. 
(Can.) or $3. (U.S.), made out to "Holy Blossom Temple Library". My address is:
 Anne Dublin, Librarian
 Holy Blossom Temple
 1950 Bathurst St.
 Toronto, ON  M5P 3K9

When they're gone, they're gone.
Meanwhile, I wish you all a healthy, happy Hanukkah. May the lights of 
Hanukkah bring peace to us and all the world.
Regards,
Anne Dublin

[ha-Safran]: Jewish family from Detroit

2004-12-06 Thread Michael Newton
Greetings.

I'm researching a Jewish family that lived in Detroit circa 1900-1930 and 
have located brief references to specific pages in the Jewish Community 
Blue Book of Detroit. I'm trying to find someone who can copy the relevant 
pages for me or tell me how to obtain a copy of the book.

Thanks.

[ha-Safran]: Photo gallery / archive

2004-12-06 Thread Brenda Yi
Shalom Librarians,

I have been asked to explore the options of maintaining a photo gallery / 
archive in my library and I would appreciate input from colleagues of 
similar-sized libraries like mine:

Details of my library:
Stock: 4000 items including books, audio/visual materials, newspaper / 
journal articles
Staff: one full-time
Physical size: small and overflowing

If you have a similar photo gallery / archive, please share your experience 
with me as

1.how you do it (keeping the physical items or in digital form);
2.how detailed you catalogue them
3.hardware / software involved
4.how much you spend on the project
5.size of the photo collection

and any consideration you think necessary before starting such a project.

Thank you in advance and

Happy Chanukkah

Brenda
p.s.  This year I have my own chanukiah.
