[ha-Safran]: Morris Seminar Deadline Extended

[Kathe Pinchuck]

FYI,



***

If you're interested in book and media evaluation but have limited 
experiences than this seminar is for YOU!  ALSC is seeking 
applications for its third biennial Morris Seminar: Book Evaluation 
Training, to be held on Friday, January 20, 2012, prior to the ALA 
Midwinter Meeting in Dallas, Texas.  This invitational seminar 
supports and honors William C. Morris' dedication to connecting 
librarians and children with excellent children's books.



During this day-long event, members with limited experience are 
trained and mentored in evaluation techniques by former ALSC award 
committee members.   The seminar will result in new and emerging 
leaders for future ALSC evaluation committees.



The Morris Endowment supports those selected to attend the training 
seminar by offering the seminar at no charge to the attendee.  This 
includes all materials, breakfast, lunch, and afternoon break on 
Friday.  To help defray additional costs for hotel and other 
expenses, a $200 stipend for each attendee will be provided by the endowment.



Information and the application are available on the ALSC Web site 
at:http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alsc/confevents/morris_events/seminarinfo.cfm

The application deadline has been extended to September 30, 
2011.  Attendees selected to attend the seminar will be notified 
during the first week of November.

[ha-Safran]: Children's Literature Comprehensive Database � REMINDER

[Kolodney]

Dear AJL members!

Please note that I got only two filled in forms so far. Some other 
members were interested but did not send their forms.

Please be reminded that this benefit is for AJL members ONLY!

Uri



Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD) - http://www.clcd.com/



As some of you know, the AJL and CLCD have contracted to give free 
access to those AJL members whose library budget is less than $15,000 
a year. In return, AJL Reviews supply the CLCD with the child & teen 
reviews which are posted on the database with no cost to CLCD or to 
AJL. Our members with a limited budget benefit from this agreement 
and the AJL as an organization benefits from the online visibility 
and free publicity.



As the liaison between the AJL and CLCD, it was brought to my 
attention that some members are abusing this free benefit by sharing 
their password with others. It is very well understood that one could 
connect from two different machines – one at the office and the other 
one at home. Other than this situation, your login information should 
not be shared, and our agreement with CLCD should be fully respected.

I thank you for your cooperation and understanding.



As a reminder, those of you who are interested in getting this 
benefit, please contact me directly at 
general-edi...@jewishlibraries.org . You would need to fill in a form 
and declare that you are eligible to get this benefit according to 
the budgetary limit mentioned above.



Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions.

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Review of Books

[Deborah Stern]

Colleagues, I am forwarding a link to an article that I found very 
interesting, particularly as it relates to a very critical 
examination of the funding and policies behind the Jewish Review of 
Books. Am curious to know if others have noticed the biases the 
author 
describes.

[ha-Safran]: Machzorim to give away

[Chaya Wiesman]

Dear Safranim,



We have some machzorim that we are weeding from our collection due to 
lack of space, and we would like to find a home for them.

They include: 5 volumes of "Service of the Synagogue" (Sukkot, 
Pesach, Yom Kippur, Shavu'ot, and Rosh haShannah/Yom Kippur).

They are Hebrew/English.



Aside from library markings, they are in good condition.  We would 
give them to anyone who would be willing to pay postage.



In future, we may have other Judaica to give away.

[ha-Safran]: Happy Rosh Hashana!

[agendler]

Dear members of Hasafran,

Every year around Rosh Hashanah we try to give customers of eBookshuk 
some gift.

This year, we're glad to be able to extend this courtesy to you as 
well with a very special gift: downloadable, interactive, 
Hebrew-English Tanakh.

That is right. Visit now www.ebookshuk.com and download your very 
own, unencrypted version of this great title... FREE (reg. $18)!

Download it yourself and let your friends, colleagues, students, and 
congregants know about it as well. Just like you, they will also get 
$10 store credit with eBookshuk when they do it.

Because of the way it was prepared, this edition of Tanakh can be 
used on virtually any computing device, including iPad, iPhone/iPod, 
Kindle, Nook, Sony, and other tablets and smart phones.

Furthermore, it has been set so you can add comments to it using only 
freely available Adobe Reader, i.e. no need for Acrobat.

Regardless how you use it, what you get here is a fully vocalized, 
contillated edition of traditional Massoretic text set side-by-side 
with classic JPS English translation.

While there are many Hebrew Bible versions available on the Internet, 
I am not aware of any downloadable edition of the same quality as ours.

Enjoy it... and have a happy, health and peaceful New 5772 Year... 
you and your whole mishpuchah!

Yours,

Alex

[ha-Safran]: Databases of educational materials

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Shalom all,

I would like to bring to your attention the availability of two free 
databases of educational materials, some of them pertaining to Jewish Studies.


  1.  JSTOR announced that it is making journal content published 
prior to 1923 in the United States and prior to 1870 elsewhere freely 
available to anyone, anywhere in the world.  This "Early Journal 
Content" covers nearly 500,000 articles from more than 200 journals 
in many disciplines. See announcement: 
http://about.jstor.org/participate-jstor/individuals/early-journal-content.

2.  Project MAOR, the Israeli counterpart of MERLOT 
  was established by the 
Israeli Internet Association,
 the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Inter-University 
Computation Center. It is "a national repository of information 
(meta-data) on online
 learning objects. Every day, educational and academic 
institutions - universities, colleges, schools and other 
organizations - generate new content
 to support education, teaching and learning, research and 
evaluation." Project MAOR offers advanced search options, and 
materials are available in
 different disciplines, including Jewish Studies 
 .

Best wishes,
Rachel
