[ha-Safran]: Librarian's Lobby for May 2009

[Daniel Stuhlman]

Hello Everyone,

Last month's column was on Hebrew-Yiddish name pairs.  This month is 
a statistical report on the frequency of Hebrew names in one 
particular congregation.

http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc106.pdf

Also visit my blog.  The last entry is a humorous article "Untitled 
Art Works."  I poke fun at an article who did not not his works. It 
is meant to inform and amuse. Please check it out.

Three positions on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee will be 
available beginning January 1, 2010.



  Applicants should be members of AJL, familiar with the scope of 
Judaic children's literature, experienced in writing critical 
reviews, willing and able to read and review over 120 books during 
the course of a year, and able to meet deadlines.



Committee members are expected to attend annual conventions and to 
participate in committee-sponsored events, including speaking at the 
Committee's annual presentation. The term of membership on the 
Committee is four years.  Each committee member typically receives 
more than $2,000 in books for review each year, which may be kept for 
personal use or added to the member's library. Membership on the 
Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is both fun and intellectually 
challenging, but it also requires a substantial commitment in terms 
of time and energy.



  To apply, send a letter indicating the reasons for your interest, a 
resume, and several examples of your recent reviews to Kathe 
Pinchuck, Committee Chair, atkpinch...@gmail.com. Applications will 
be accepted through August 31, 2009.

[ha-Safran]: Mentor Mingle AJLChicago2009 Please try to attend

[AJL mentoring]

Are you a seasoned librarian, library student, or newcomer to a 
library position?


You'll find that the Mentor Mingle is a golden opportunity to meet 
new friends, share ideas, and participate in the zeitgeist of the 
times.  This year we're inviting members to step forward and be 
mentors to newcomers for the duration of the Convention.  We'll pair 
you with a new member if you haven't met one already on your own. 
Stephanie (Sara Leah) Gross, Chair of AJL Mentoring, will be on hand 
with a short presentation about the process, what it entails and some 
of the benefits of the program.  If you'd like to know more before 
the event, you may contact her directly at: 
ajlmentor...@gmail.com.  However, reservations are notrequired.



Are you interested in a greater challenge? Why not consider guiding a 
new professional throughout the coming year to establish contacts, 
learn about available resources, and build a long-lasting 
relationship? Full-year commitments are not mandatory.



Please note: This year we're hoping to establish mentoring leaders at 
the local chapter or regional level in order to improve our 
effectiveness.  Your participation can make a great difference in 
someone's career!





Looking forward to seeing you all there!  Stephanie (Sara Leah)

The Hebrew text includes nikud [vowels].
There is also an English translation for each Hebrew tongue twister.

Feedback is welcome!

Enjoy!
Shavua Tov - Have a good week,
Jacob
