[ha-Safran]: Request a Yiddish Book

[Esther Podoliak]

REQUEST A FREE YIDDISH BOOK


In memory of Chaia Bierstone-Podoliak, family members self-published 
a book called "The First Song," a selection of her poems and stories 
in Yiddish -- about 100 pages. The purpose was to donate these books 
to Yiddish library collections around the world that are open to the public.



If you know of such a collection in Canada, the U.S. or elsewhere in 
the world, please ask those who are interested to request a copy of 
the book from her.



The number of copies is limited, and the donor is therefore 
interested in knowing:

·   The approx. size/extent of the Yiddish collection

·   The approximate size/extent of the Yiddish-speaking borrowing 
audience.

·   The address and location of the Yiddish collection.

·   The name of the Yiddish collection and its sponsoring organization

·   The name, position and e-mail address of the person making the request.



The donor will cover the cost of sending a book, and thanks you for your help.

The request, or any questions, should be in English and addressed to the donor:

Ms. Esther Podoliak

Is there anyone who has gotten (and used) the new version of the

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

see the first issue (January 2009), go to: 
http://www.cajs.upenn.edu/newsletter/2009-01/web.html ).  These 
newsletters contain a library section 
http://www.cajs.upenn.edu/newsletter/2009-06/web.html#topic4 about 
recent special acquisitions and other library activities that may be 
of interest to Judaica librarians.  If you would like to be added to

(2008-09), an  impressive group of fellows researched the relatively 
neglected field of Jewish economic history. In 2009–2010 the Katz 
Center fellows will focus on secularism and in the following year 
(2010–2011) the fellows will research the phenomenon of conversion to 
and from Judaism.

Thanks,

Arthur

[ha-Safran]: AJL wiki

[Stephanie L Gross]

Kudos to Diane and Joyce for their initiative with the AJL.  This 
will be excellent for those involved with mentoring.  Why not start 
with culling some of the pearls from the existing homepage, be it 
FAQs, resources, etc.?  The information is difficult to find, but yet 
extremely valuable.

Again, thanks for your efforts!

[ha-Safran]: Redemption

[Paula Sandfelder]

Dear Friends,



My Book Club  (of which I am the discussion leader) is reading "Not 
Me" by Michael Lavigne.  In the book there is the line "He did not 
ask to be forgiven, nor did he seek punishment.  He

sought redemption.  This is probably the most important line in the book.



It is very easy to find a Christian view of  REDEMPTION.  It is more 
difficult to understand the JEWISH definition of the same word.





Any ideas would be helpful.



Paula Sandfelder

[ha-Safran]: OT: Welcome Home to the New Olim (and 322 pictures)

[Jacob Richman]

Hi Everyone!

On Tuesday morning, August 4, 2009, I was at Ben-Gurion airport to
greet the new olim that made aliyah from North America to Israel.

There were 238 olim on the flight including 63 singles
(55 joining the IDF) and 36 families with 113 children.

The youngest oleh in the group is 3 months old and the
oldest oleh is 75 years old. The flight also included 4 dogs and
3 cats.

I took 322 pictures of the exciting event and I posted them online at:
http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/2009/a466.htm

I also posted the 322 pictures on Facebook for name tagging.
There are two sets of pictures and they are both located in my
Facebook photo section at:
http://www.facebook.com/jacobrichman?v=photos

If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the pictures or
see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the pictures.

May the aliyah from all over of the world grow and bring
more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

Enjoy the pictures and have a good day,
Jacob

Re: [ha-Safran]: Advance uncorrected proof

[Yakov Shafranovich]

A small correction:

IANAL but unless there is a signed written contract in place between
the publisher and the person reviewing the advance copy, there are no
legal issues with reselling or transferring the ARC. In the US, the
doctrine of "first sale", allows people to do whatever they went with
physical copies of books including advance review copies which are
considered gifts. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

In a related case, a music company lost their bid to restrict
distribution of promotional CDs. The analogy to review copies of books
is self evident:

http://www.fepproject.org/commentaries/promoCDs.html

With this said, if there is a legal problem with the content of the
book itself such as slander, libel, etc. it is something different. In
the US it is very hard to prove slander and libel, and furthermore
printers, publishers and libraries might not even be liable. See:

http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2008/07/printondemand_p.htm

Furthermore, many large companies such as Amazon, eBay, etc. might
prohibit resale of ARCs but not for legal reasons. Rather, it is
something they were pressured to do by publishers and the AuthorGuild.
It should not be taken as indication of legal problems. I remember a
rather lively discussion about this in one of the publishing groups on
Yahoo groups about a year ago.

NOTE: IANAL, and all legal issues require proper legal counsel.

Yakov

Re: [ha-Safran]: Advance uncorrected proof

[Marie]

In my library I have a policy of not adding ARCs/galleys to the 
collection for the following reasons:
* ARCs and galleys are promotional tools that are not meant to be 
a substitute for buying the book; they're not meant to be donations 
to libraries. They're meant to be tools that help librarians decide 
what to buy and help them get an "early word" on what's new and 
interesting, so that they can share their knowledge with their 
patrons. Substituting ARCs for finished copies, in my opinion, 
violates the spirit in which they're provided and deprives the author 
and publisher of payment for their work.
* ARCs and galleys are UNFINISHED copies. Particularly in the 
case of nonfiction, there may be things missing from the galley/ARC 
that would be helpful to the reader- charts, maps, illustrations, 
indices, etc. There may be inaccurate facts that stlll need to be 
verified or changed before the final edition. There may be, as Steven 
noted, plot twists in fiction that aren't meant for public 
consumption; James Patterson is another author famous for changing 
the ending from the ARC to the final copy, so that the "true" ending 
can't be leaked in an early review.
* Have  you heard the stereotype about bridesmaids' dresses, that 
they are made for one bride's special day and aren't made to last 
multiple wearings? ARCs and galleys are the bridesmaids dresses of 
the book world. They are cheaply bound paperbacks not manufactured to 
withstand multiple readings and the kind of rough handling library 
books put up with. Providing ARCs to patrons is, in my opinion, not 
providing the highest quality materials or holding the library to the 
highest standards.
I certainly understand the temptation to include ARCs and galleys in 
collections; I am a fairly active book blogger and reviewer and 
stacks of Jewish-interest galleys have passed through my hands. In 
every case, when I thought a book merited inclusion in my library I 
bought the book out of the library budget. ARCs and galleys I pass 
along to other librarians or readers, or just keep for my personal collection.

All of which is not to say they have no use in the library. You could 
use them for giveaways or prizes in trivia contests or as extras for 
a book club. I started a small shelf in the temple where I work, 
where I leave unwanted galleys, Jewish-interest or not, for staff to 
peruse and take home. It's a fairly popular initiative because people 
always love free books.
