[ha-Safran]: SSC Librarians in particular: Really old books
Dear safranim, For those of you in synagogue and center libraries, what do you do with really old books? I don't mean items that might be determined to be rare books; I mean, books on Jewish subjects that were written in the mid-late 1800's and early 1900's, that could be purchased online for $5-$25, and that, when searched on Worldcat., are in most university and Jewish research libraries. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, and Shabbat Shalom, Ann Abrams, Librarian Temple Israel 477 Longwood Avenue Boston, MA 02215 617-566-3960 x116 aabr...@tisrael.org www.tisrael.org Check out our new online catalog! http://library.tisrael.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

[Hasafran] mp3 downloads
Hello again, As I await responses from you to me recent query about libraries provided patron access to e-books, I would like to add a similar questions regarding mp3 downloads of audio-books. Our library has always had a small but well-used collection of audio-books -- first on cassette, then on CD -- mostly used by patrons in the car or in the gym (we are located at the JCC). Now patrons want to listen to books ob their iPods or other mp3 players. Are any of you purchasing audio-books direct as mp3 downloads and making them available to your patrons? If yes, I have similar questions as those I posed for e-books: Who is the vendor? Cost? How do you make the downloads available to patrons -- in the library or from your website? Thanks again for any and all advice.

[ha-Safran]: 150th Anniversary of US Civil War
NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 7, 2011 Contact: Don Canaan (352) 750-9420 611 Saint Andrews Blvd. The Villages, FL 32159 dcana...@gmail.com Award-Winning Journalist's Website Memorializes 150thAnniversary of U.S. Civil War The 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War (or as some southerners see it as 'The War of Northern Aggression') will be celebrated during 2011. Internet surfers can now experience those days of conflict and death by going tohttp://www.IsraeliteOnline.com. The free website contains all weekly issues of the Cincinnati-based Israelite newspaper (July 1859-July 1867). You will be able to experience the war from the viewpoint of American Jewry. The Israelite, which has been published continuously since 1854 (now The American Israelite), was created by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, the founder of Reform Judaism in America. Some historians have reported that Wise's personal feelings leaned toward the Confederacy. Whatever his politics were, contemporary readers can now experience the wins and defeats of the Union and Confederate armies, the inauguration and assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and the early days of Reconstruction. Don Canaan, a resident of The Villages, is a retired U.S. Army photographer and prize-winning TV and newspaper journalist and editor. For a time, he reported for the American Israelite. Canaan is also the editor of http://www.IsraelFaxx.com, a website containing news, features, commentaries by Villages resident and columnist Ed Ziegler, and the latest Dry Bones cartoon from Israel. Canaan is also the power behind the throne at http://www.TheVillagesMorsel.com, a satirical look at life in The Villages. --- 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

RE: [ha-Safran]: Old Encyclopedia Judaica and Jewish Encyclopedias
@Janice Colton I just recently did a resource review (http://bit.ly/h5RMwg) on Encyclopaedia Judaica 2007 (free online version at http://www.bjeindy.org/encyclopedia_judaica_online). According to the author of the 2007 preface, the authors of the first edition published for the first time in 1972. They make no mention of the existence of a 1971 version. So I'm not sure if your synagogue somehow received a provisional edition before it was publicly released? My guess would be that there may have been some confusion about the publishing years during the original communication with the senior Rabbi; perhaps you might double check with him. With regard to the Jewish Encyclopedia, I would send it to the geniza since it's an old copy and it's available for free online at http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/. Unless there are others on the listserv who might know of some value intrinsic to the 1902 version (or perhaps antiquity value if refurbished), I'd say it's probably not worth keeping.

The historic footage was shot by Fred Monosson, a Jewish-American businessman from Brookline, MA who died in 1972. Until this discovery, the history of Israel was captured only in black and white.

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Music Bibliography
Solo Vocal Works on Jewish Themes: A Bibliography of Jewish Composers is a comprehensive and annotated compendium of stage, concert, and liturgical compositions written by Jewish composers from every known time period and country. Kenneth Jaffe has amassed nearly 3,000 large-scale musical works for solo voice(s) on Jewish themes, written by Jewish composers. The works include over 400 cantatas, 150 oratorios, almost 300 operas, more than 100 sacred services, 20 symphonies, and more than 350 stage works, including Yiddish theatre, Purim and sacred plays, multi-media pieces, and musical theatre. In addition, original song cycles and liturgical services arranged for a modest to large complement of instruments are also included. The works are organized by composer and subdivided by genre, and each entry is fully annotated, detailing the title, opus, voicing and instrumentation, text source, commission, year completed, year and location of the premiere, the year of publication and the publisher (if any), the location of scores, and the duration of the work. The works are then broken down by theme, such as Biblical themes, works for children, works of the Holocaust or Jewish suffering and persecution, interfaith works, and wedding music. They are then cross-referenced by voice type, arrangement, and by title. A list of libraries and publishing houses of Jewish music rounds out this invaluable reference. About the Author Kenneth Jaffe is cantor of Temple Ner Tamid in Downey, CA and has served Jewish congregations throughout the United States as an invested Cantor of the Reform Movement. Cantor Jaffe is available for presentations/concerts tied in with the bibliography. See Amazon link email below.

[ha-Safran]: Temple Library
Hello, I am writing from Temple Tifereth Israel in Winthrop MA (near Boston). We are planning to move to a much smaller building in about 1.5 years. We will not have room for our small library of books. Most of the books are history and social sciences. Only a small percentage are religious volumes such as Talmud. There may be some first editions We would like to donate them to a larger library or sell them and are looking for some guidance in this process. We are in the process of compiling info about the number of volumes and more about their content. Can you recommend anyone who can guide us? We want to find a good home for the books. Thank you very much for any advice you can provide.

The approach of Tu B'Shivat is a very good time to help re-plant the Carmel Forest, which was devastated by a ferocious forest fire slightly over a month ago. On the Jewish National Fund website is this announcement: At this time, all tree donations will support the rebuilding of the Carmel Forest.

[ha-Safran]: The library and the Torah
Hello, I have been absent a long time from the list. I have a question. Regarding the Torah - What is the tradition or law for a Torah remaining in a library or museum as opposed to being in a synagogue or temple? Does it matter if it is in condition for ritual use or not?

[ha-Safran]: Library Sleepover ideas?
Dear Hasafranim, I have an idea for a library sleep over (not original I know) for our younger patrons in which they wouldn't actually sleep over, but come in their jammies with stuffed animals etc on a Sat evening. I figured I'd read books and then do havdalah (it gets dark pretty early in Michigan in winter). What have others done? I imagine I should at least read a scary book, a funny animal book, and a sweet bedtime book. Any other suggestions, not just for books but activities that could involve preschoolers? What is a good way to structure the event?

[ha-Safran]: New York City, February 13-21st
From February 13 to February 21 a member of Sinagoga La Javura and I will be in New York City for a mix of mostly business with a pinch of pleasure thrown in for good measure. We would not only like but LOVE to visit synagogues/libraries and thank personally as many of you as we can who have sent good wishes, advice, books and calendars over these last 14 years. We'll be staying at the International Youth Hostel on 883 Amsterdam Ave. We would like to treat whomsoever wants to give us a gander/tour of their synagogue/library to a cup, glass, or pint of whatever strikes their fancy for the honour. Or maybe you might want to tell us about your experiences as librarians as you accompany us on a ride on the Staten Island Ferry, or freeze our butts off as we try to slither our way across Central Park. Or if there is something you think we must not miss (like spitting off the top of the Empire State for example), be sure to let us know. You should definitely contact me off-list.
