[ha-Safran]: AJL Constitutional Revisions

[Joy Kingsolver]

Dear AJL Members,

Because of recent changes to the legal status of AJL, and to improve
the way our organization functions, we need to update the
AJL Constitution and Bylaws. After much work and long debate, the
Constitution and Bylaws Committee is presenting for your approval
a revised version of the AJL Constitution and Bylaws.   The revised
document was approved by the AJL Executive Board and the AJL Council
at the Midwinter meeting, Jan. 8-9, 2006.  It now needs to be ratified by
the membership.

Information on the proposed changes can be found on the AJL
website (http://www.jewishlibraries.org) under "About AJL."
The current version (last revised in 1998), the new proposed version,
and an explanation of the major changes can all be found there.
Many thanks to our webmaster, Nancy Sack, for her quick work
in posting this information.

In addition,  the forthcoming issue of the AJL Newsletter will print the
proposed constitutional revision and the explanation of the changes.
Due to space limitations, however, the 1998 constitution is only available on
the website. Anyone who is unable to access it, please contact me, and
I'll be happy to send it to you in a different format.

Every current member should receive in the mail a printed copy of the
proposed constitution and a ballot.  Please read it carefully and mail your
vote by the deadline, which is printed on the ballot.  If you have 
any questions,
please feel free to contact me.

The Constitution and By-Laws Committee consists of Ronda Rose, AJL President;
Suzi Dubin, Recording Secretary; and Joy Kingsolver, Parliamentarian.
In addition, valuable contributions were made by Pearl Berger, Past President;
Toby Rossner, Chapter Relations Chair;  and many other Board and Council
members.

Respectfully submitted,
Joy Kingsolver
AJL Parliamentarian

Dear Friends,

We have posted our latest catalog, Over 100 titles from the 18th-20th

the period from the close of the 18th Century to the end of the

Many come from the top libraries of the period--collections built by 
Solomon Schechter, E.N. Adler, David Cassel, & Boaz Cohen, to name a few.

The fully illustrated catalog is online at 
http://www.danwymanbooks.com/german2/german.htm

As most of you know, my wife Jenny died in early December after a 
long and brutal illness. It has been a difficult time and I have 
appreciated all your cards, well-wishes and prayers. Life goes on and 
we are all managing.

If a request from you in the last 2 months appears to have gone 
unanswered, please accept my apologies and do send it again.

As for our latest catalog, please take a look and let us know which 
items are of interest.

Many thanks,

Dan Wyman

Re: [ha-Safran]: Re: Jewish Mysteries website by Rabbi Raphael

[Joyce Levine]

The best list I've seen can be found in Rosalind Reiser's book, 
Jewish American Literature: a guide to reading interests. (published 
in 2004 by Libraries Unlimited). It's well annotated and divided by 
genre (thrillers, historical mysteries, humorous mysteries, etc.)

Many libraries don't purchase paperbacks?

[Larry Yudelson]

Is it true that many libraries won't purchase paperbacks? Given the
choice between a $15 paperback and a $25 hardcover, which would your
library purchase?

Ben Yehuda Press is currently publishing paperbacks, but we would
happily publish hardcovers if there was sufficient demand.
