[ha-Safran]: Questions for Synagogue librarians - DVD collectioins
Fellow synagogue librarians, How do you manage your DVD collections? Do you leave DVD's in their cases, or keep them behind the desk? Do you assign them call numbers or categorize them another way? I'm thinking of changing the system I inherited here and am interested in what others are doing. A related question: do you still have videocassettes? I have a shelf-ful; they are rarely checked out. I'm very short of space, so I'm thinking of removing them all and replacing the titles that I think people will borrow with DVD's. Does anyone have advice to offer on the subject? Reply off-list; I'll summarize the responses and post the summary for each question. Thanks! * Marga Hirsch Librarian Bulletin Editor Park Avenue Synagogue 50 East 87th St. New York, NY 10128 212.369.2600, x127 mhir...@pasyn.org --- 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: hasaf...@osu.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

[ha-Safran]: Meaning
Today's People of the Books ended with this statement: Nonfiction Monday is a moving meme headquartered at Picture Book of the Day ( http://6traits.wordpress.com/nonfiction-monday/ ) and hosted this week at Charlotte's Library. (http://charlotteslibrary.blogspot.com/ ) Does anyone have any idea of what a moving meme is or am I the only one who is not utterly, totally familiar with annoyingly-obscure computer lingo? Linda R.
