[ha-Safran]: L4U library automation
Hi, I'm a new librarian, and I'm looking into different cataloging systems and software for my library that are Hebrew compatible. After looking into various systems, I was told about L4U. When I did their online demo, I was really impressed. If anyone uses this system or has used it in the past, please contact me. Also, if anyone wants to give a plug for whatever system they are currently using, I would love to hear the pros and cons about it.

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Women's Choral Project
I am about to launch the Jewish Women's Choir Project, to bring the voices of women together to create a CD of original choral compositions. Along with the recording, I will be creating a website to showcase Jewish women's choirs and composers from around the world. I am hoping to locate as many choirs as possible who would like to participate in this project, and I need your help! The first phase of the project involves simply identifying the choirs and local composers that are out there. So, if you are involved with a choir (as a singer and/or as a composer), or if there is a choir or composer in your area that you know of, please respond with any information that would help me make contact. (Ideal would be the name and e-mail address of the choir director and/or manager.) Thank you very much!

[ha-Safran]: Tisha B'Av Thoughts
Even though we are now in the waning hours of Tisha B'Av, I'd like to share a few thoughts that I've learned from various places. The sadness of the day is tempered by the fact that the Almighty cares for us. Our actions carry consequences simply because what we do matters to Him. Far from being a depressing date on the calendar--one that we should simply get through so we can listen to music, buy clothes, and get back to enjoying summer again--Tisha B'Av is a time of hope and renewal. No matter how low things seem to be, with a little effort and a healthy dose of optimism and faith we can make a better future. And we can undo at least one of the reasons for the destruction of the second Beit Hamikdosh--a little kindness and caring for each other will go a long way. On a personal note: My double cataract surgeries were very successful, Baruch Hashem, and the healing is almost complete. I am now returning to the happy business of reading, reviewing, and recommending books. Thank you for all the mazel tovs following our daughter Sarah's engagement. The wedding was beautiful.

[ha-Safran]: OPALS Library Catalog
Dear Safranim, We are in the process of setting up our library catalog on-line using OPALS Library Software. We have a question for those who are also using OPALS. We would like to make searches easier for our patrons by having the search turn up relevant items regardless of whether the patron uses the Separdic or Ashkenazi spelling of the search term. For example we would like a search for "shabbas" to find items in the catalog that have the subject "shabbat," "sabbath," or "shabbos," even if the subject "shabbas" does not appear in the marc record. We would also like searches to account for nicknames. So that a search for "Maimonides" would turn up items that have "Moses ben Maimon," or "RAMBAM" in a subject field. The same issue can occur on an author search where the patron searches "Moses ben Maimon" and we want the search to turn up works where the marc record has "Maimonides" in the author field. Unfortunately OPALS does not currently have authority files where these alternate names and spellings could be specified. We are thinking we will need to add subject fields to each marc record where there are these type of variations. Is anyone concerned about this issues. Please let us know your thinking and how you are handling it. Thank you so much.

[ha-Safran]: Singing Kol Nidre...early
Dear Colleagues, I have been asked by the producer to forward this message and announcement. Allen Oren is the producer of "18 Voices Sing Kol Nidre". In anticipation of the High Holidays, I'm would like to bring this to the attention to those who might want the film for their collections or their programs. The film drew praise from members last year, and has since received a three-star "Recommended" rating from Video Librarian and a very positive review from School Library Journal. This fall the piece is being re-broadcast on public television around the country, will receive a theatrical screening in Toronto, and will be part of a multimedia concert at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Manhattan. IN TIME FOR THE HIGH HOLIDAYS Want to energize a High Holidays program or your High Holidays collection? Try "singing" Kol Nidre early. Explore the prayer's rich story with the PBS documentary, "18 Voices Sing Kol Nidre." The 40-minute film, which aired nationally last fall, is available for library purchase or screening on DVD, with bonus videos of two cantorial chantings of the Kol Nidre and Bruch's Kol Nidrei for Cello. The film can be ordered here on the DVD page of our website, www.18voices.com. The price for private use is $24.95, for public performance use $74.95. Wrote Dorothy Rabinowitz, TV critic for The Wall Street Journal and Pulitzer Prize winner: "A marvellous film. It is magnificent, eloquent, and instructive. I was so struck by its effect I watched it four times over the weekend." "18 Voices Sing Kol Nidre" asks how a prayer that doesn't mention God became so sacred. How did its words bring centuries of persecution, then its melody bring redemption? How did one chant become so important to one people and to the world? The answers arrive when 18 voices sing Kol Nidre, when 18 storytellers share their tales about the prayer, some experts in the chant, some just changed by chanting it. If you'd like to see the first 15 minutes of the piece, please click here. http://mediasuite.multicastmedia.com/player.php?p=c7hfs3x7 If you have any questions, just e-mail us at i...@18voices.com. We're happy to use a modern medium to discuss an ancient prayer.
