[ha-Safran]: Library insurance

[Beila Organic]

To the collective source of biblio-info:

Is there a written set of standards, criteria, etc. which apply to 
insuring a library?  If not, what suggestions  or recommendations can 
you make from your experience?

Todah rabbah!

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention in Cambridge, MA!

[Ann Abrams]

Dear safranim,

On behalf of the New England planning committee, we are looking 
forward to welcoming you to Cambridge (which is across the Charles 
River from Boston),  for the 2006 AJL convention, June 18-21!   It is 
certainly long overdue that there be a conference in the Boston area 
(the last one in Massachusetts  was 1977 in Waltham,  and 1967 in 
Boston), and we are proud and excited to be your hosts.

We're very happy to announce that the registration materials are now 
posted on our website, thanks to webmaster Nancy  Sack!  You will 
also be receiving these materials along with the February newsletter, 
thanks to Nancy, and Libby White.  And, our program committe is 
working very hard to post in the next couple of weeks a  preliminary 
program on the website, so, stay tuned!

As all of you know, who have either worked on a convention or 
attended one, everyone on the local planning committee is a 
volunteer, with many of us also working at full or part-time 
jobs.  I'm mentioning this to preface an appeal:  PLEASE do your best 
to send in your registration materials in a timely manner.  And, if 
you're planning to stay at the convention hotel (Hyatt Regency - 
please make reservations through the link on the AJL website), please 
make your reservations soon.  We have a block of rooms guaranteed for 
the convention dates; however, Boston is a busy place this time of 
year, and we've recently learned that the Hyatt is booked the few 
days preceding our convention.  One of our planning committee members 
will soon be posting a list of accomodations on the website, with 
thought given to those requiring synagogues in walking distance 
and/or kosher food.  We are also in the process of coordinating 
Shabbat home hospitality.

Greater Boston and New England are  wonderful places to visit in 
June.  In future postings, those of us who live here will make 
suggestions about how to spend your time, if you are able to be a 
tourist for some of your visit.  In the meantime, you can start your 
own research (you are librarians, after all!) by going to 
www.shalomboston.com for the Jewish 
sites, and http://www.bostonusa.com/  for 
the general tourist info.

We look forward to saying "Bruchim Ha-baim" to you in June!

Ann Abrams and Zellie Kaplan
Co-chairs, AJL Convention 2006, @ the Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, MA, 
June 18 - 21.

[ha-Safran]: Verb Root and Infinitive added to Learn Hebrew Verbs

[Jacob Richman]

Hi Everyone!

User feedback to the launch of Learn Hebrew Verbs
http://www.hebrew-verbs.co.il
has been very good. The site has generated the largest
amount of launch feedback than any of my other sites.

One of the repeated suggestions that visitors have asked for
is to add the verb root and infinitive to the database. As of today,
I added the root and infinitive to all 300 verbs.
The English and Hebrew menus have been changed to
include these choices.

Feedback is welcome.

Please forward this message to anyone that may be interested
in learning Hebrew. Thank you!

Shavua Tov / Have a good week,
Jacob
