Re: [ha-Safran]: Uncle Tom's Cabin in Hebrew
Dear Joel, A search in the Union List of the Israeli Library Network (ULI) brought up at least 21 distinct records. You may access ULI at http://libnet1.ac.il/~libnet/uli and search Hebrew titles in Hebrew letters. A search in ULI will display all the holdings of the academic libraries in Israel. I tried to choose only one of each edition or reprint. These are in Citation format. I suggest you access the catalog and view full bibliographic records.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Uncle Tom's Cabin in Hebrew
Gates may have included printings. For example, HUC, NY has one published in Warsaw by Zuckerman in 1897 that is hotsaah 2 u-metukenet. That means there was an earlier printing as well, and that the 1902 might have been a reprint of the 1897. This would indicate that there was both the interest and a readership of such a size as to support this many editions.

[ha-Safran]: Professional degree program in Judaica librarianship
Dear all, I am hoping that I could get some feedback on this query. The University of Maryland has recently established a new rubric of a professional degree programs, which could be either MA or a Certificate in areas that commercially can sustain such programs. For more information please see http://www.professionalstudies.umd.edu/graduateprograms/. We in the Jewish Studies program at UM are interested in creating a professional certificate in Judaica Librarianship, knowing how hard it is to find Judaica librarians of all kinds of sorts. Last summer we discussed a certificate that looked like the following. 1. Judaica Technical Services (6 credits) 2. Introduction to Judaica Bibliography (3 credits) 3. Internship or special project (for job-holders) (3 credits). Here are our questions: = is there an interest in the professional certificate in Judaica Librarianship as we are defining it? = Should MLS be required as a prerequisite for such a program? The question here is who this program is more likely to serve: those of us who ended up at academic institutions or those of us who went to temple libraries, for example. = Should reading knowledge of Hebrew or Yiddish be required before admission? = Would it make more sense to have this program in classroom or online? Even if we do it as a residence program, we are thinking that the first two courses could be done within 3 or 4 weeks of all day classes, and Internship could be flexible in terms of locations. So we think one will be able to finish this certificate in a relatively short time. The professional degree programs are very flexible in terms of how they allow courses to run. I should also mention that at the University of Maryland we do have a Library School and one can earn an MLS degree with a non-degree graduate certificate in Jewish Studies. This means that a person will have to complete a usual MLS degree but can take a concentration in Jewish Studies (history, literature, philosophy, ect.) on a side. For more information on this please see http://www.clis.umd.edu/programs/non-degree.shtml. However our library school at this time is not interested in creating a specific degree in Judaica librarianship. Many thanks for your help. If you reply to this message (and I hope you do), could you please identify what kind of organization you are working now. This might help us in a number of ways. -- Yelena Luckert Librarian for History, Jewish, Slavic and Women's Studies University of Maryland Libraries College Park, MD 20742 Phone: 301-405-9365 Fax:301-314-2795 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org

No -- throughout history, every art form has retold the compelling stories of faith. Two Jewish youngsters created Superman, who has been compared to that mythical Jewish avenger, the Golem. Indeed, the Bible's superpatriarchs and supermatriarchs called upon special powers to protect their people. One such supermatriarch is beautifully realized in Megillat Esther (see review, p. ##). Likewise in King David (Vertigo), the striking color art carries the story with little text. In a more impressionistic take on the Torah, Testament: Akedah and Testament: West of Eden (Vertigo) cross cut Biblical story lines with modern-day plots in an edgy, cosmic drama mixing sin, skin, and grace. A Western frontier Solomon stars in the lighthearted Adventures of Rabbi Harvey (LJ 8/15/06), while The Rabbi's Cat (LJ 11/15/05) tells a mature, bittersweet family comedy of 1930s Algeria, with the impertinent cat as theological commentator. Two useful histories include Jews in America: A Cartoon History (Jewish Publication Society), more illustrated vignettes than narrative, and The Story of the Jews: A 4,000 Year Adventure (Jewish Lights), covering Genesis to post 9/11 with irreverent quips and irony. Unfortunately, neither has a bibliography. *** * Waldman, J.T. Megillat Esther. Jewish Publication Soc. 2005. 172p. bibliog. ISBN 0-8276-0788-1. pap. $18.00. REL The Old Testament's Book of Esther tells a tale of intrigue, genocide, and revenge. Looking to replace Queen Vashti because she haughtily refuses to come to his party, the King of Persia falls for the lovely foster daughter of Mordecai. But not knowing that his new Queen Esther -- and Mordecai -- are Jewish, the king unwittingly enters into a plot of his egomaniacal prime minister Haman, to kill all the Jews in Persia simply because Mordecai will not bow to Haman on the street. Can Esther foil Haman's plot without piquing her husband's temper and courting death herself? Indeed she does, and Haman is hanged on the gallows he built for Mordecai. It's a satisfying tale for everyone, especially Jews -- indeed, the Megillat (scroll of) Esther is the basis for the Jewish feast of Purim. The sumptuous, almost psychedelic black and white art with Hebrew text worked into the panel design is a feast for the eyes as appetizing as the feast of Purim itself. Plentiful sidebars and back matter, including sources and bibliography, provide plot embellishments and background. For teens up. Highly recommended for all libraries.

[ha-Safran]: Book cart rental
Hello all, My library (about 7000 vols.) will be relocating to a new building (on the same property as our current facility). We will have to close in late Spring with re-opening in early '08. I've been through this routine before, with books packed in cartons .I'm trying to find other ways to accommodate our needs and keep the library functioning during the transition. I seem to remember reading a post about renting library carts to use for book storage during a transition time like this. If you know of a supplier for such cart rentals, please advise Also, any other ideas about creative ways to deal with the move would be much appreciated.

1. Pay for a consultant at two local synagogue libraries is $40/hr. This librarian does not charge for travel time and for a lot of the work done at home. 2. A librarian just out of library school should make at least18/hr ($35,000 a year for 40 hours for 52 weeks). An experienced librarian should be paid at least $25/hr. I'm assuming you mean a professional librarian with a masters degree in library/information science/service? Unfortunately, substandard wages are not uncommon. Elizabeth F.

The book which reflects many trends and issues in modern Israeli life, touches upon power, ambition, politics, idealism and aging along with the military and political challenges faced by Israel in a complicated and dangerous middle east. Cat. # 62097 $24.00 (Ram Oren recently also released another book, Yamin Adumin. Cat# 61025 - a suspense novel based on a true story of love and war. ) In the book world, as in the film world, topics often come in twos or even threes. Be-sodo shel Ariel ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags /Sharon, is a biography of the former PM and general, written by his lifelong friend, confidant and loyalist. Uri Dan, a talented author and leading journalist wrote this chronicle of Sharon which is equally a history of Israel including some of the recent astounding steps such as the withdrawal from the Gaza strip. Publ. Miskal / Yediot, isbn 965-482-394-2, Cat. 62315 $ 27.00 It is important to note that the book was also published, more or less simultaneously in English outside of Israel. Also another book, Sharon / Tahanot Hayav (Stations of his life), has been published by Shibolim, isbn 965-7384-14-1. It is a large format coffee table type book with many photos. Included are many photos from the many battles in which he fought and at least one lovely photo of Sharon holding a pomello. Cat. # 61558 $ 37.00 Dan Shilon another celebrated Israeli journalist has published a novel entitled, Teguva Roemet, Stormy Reaction. This is another in the realm of timely fiction that reflects and perhaps expresses Israeli political, social, international, military realities. The book, deals with military action in Lebanon and the role and influence of the media, among other things. Published by Miskal Yediot, Hemed, isbn. 965-482-357-8, Cat. #61233 $26.00 In this past Friday issue of Haaretz they mentioned a journal of Hebrew Literature in English, MHL, No. 3, published by Toby Press. Now, this is published in the US, so I/we, at Jerusalem Books Ltd. dont need to mention it. However, I cant help but be positive and supportive of a journal of literature which increases the awareness of Israeli Hebrew authors. Hopefully, this will increase the need and desire to acquire these books in their original Hebrew. Recently, the world of Hebrew Literature saw the passing of Prof. Gershon Shaked, the known author and literary critic. He taught at Tel Aviv University and Jerusalem Books distributed more than a dozen books he published over the years. In the area of Rabbinics / Sifrei Kodesh I hope to post a separate newsletter shortly. Needless to say, if you are looking for the new Talmud Yerushalmi, single volume edition or anything else by Ketuvim, or new things from Mossad Harav Kook, please let us know. All of us at Jerusalem Books wish you a Happy Purim.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Uncle Tom's Cabin in Hebrew
Thanks to all of you who have responded. It has been an education for me!! There are other issues with Professor Gates's version, see http://www.newyorker.com/printables/critics/061106crbo_books1 but this minor point does not seem to be one of them.

[ha-Safran]: Professional Degree in Judaica Librarianship
I dont understand why there is a need for a certificate in Judaica Librarianship. What we do is a specialty within the library profession. If we think that a special credential will increase interest and provide for the continuing pool of librarians in Judaica we are going in the wrong direction. When people go to a professional school they receive a global education in that field with course work in specific specialties. When a person goes to either law school or medical school they dont train to be a corporate attorney or surgeon respectively. Certificate programs do not always guarantee that those who receive one will enter the profession. Sometimes people will take this certificate for their own personal edification. It is true that the program will benefit those already working in a library, but that is the point, they are already there. I dont think that the certificate program provides an effective recruitment tool. I spoke to the Dean of the Library School at Drexel University with a possible proposal for a reference course in Judaica with a formal similar to other areas. He asked me what kinds of numbers of interested parties are out there. Obviously it would be difficult to ascertain that number. He said that without even a ballpark figure his school was not interested in starting even a reference course. I do feel that creating such a course is more to the point if it can be done that creating a certificate program. Perhaps a graduate with such course work might be motivated to work in a Judaica library. Even if this interest is there the remuneration is a major stumbling block. Our specialty has several overall difficulties in recruiting new people. The main problem is salary. Many Judaica libraries pay very poorly and have little opportunity for advancement. I have met people who would jump to the opportunity to be in a Judaic environment. The answer as to why they dont is because of the poor salaries. I dont believe anything short of raising professional remuneration standards will make a significant impact on recruiting people to our specialty. Gratz College had a certificate program at one time. I taught in that program. The majority of the class was not librarians. We need to elevate our salary structures, opportunity for advancement and a general uplifting of our own professional self-esteem within the general library community. I believe that these elements will have a more effective influence on our goal than instituting a certificate program. Such programs do not always bring the desired results. Eliezer M.

[ha-Safran]: Serials tracking
Dear Safranim, We would like to know how those of you who do not have a serials module in your library automation software are keeping track of your serials (journals and magazines). We are only interested in a computer program, not a manual method. If anyone has a good computer program that helps them keep track of their journals and magazines, we would appreciate hearing about it. Pricing/purchasing information would also be helpful. We would like to avoid reinventing the wheel. Thank you in advance for your help.
