Yesterday I sent a message about my blog entry, Searching for the Prussian Emancipation Act of 1812 http://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2011/07/searching-for-prussian-emancipation-act.html I received information since publication that required changes to the article.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Martin Buber's The Way of Man
At 11:44 PM 05/31/2011, you wrote: Who translated The Way of Man According to the Teaching of the Hasidim into English from German in 1950? Maurice Friedman did not translate it. I have that in a written note from him. Furthermore, he does not know who did the translation. I thought this would be an easy question to answer since translators should be recorded in the catalog record. I was wrong. I didn't find the book in WorldCat. I did find it in the British Library and the Jewish National Library. Neither listed a translator. The book does appear in American and British editions. Maurice Friedman wrote a biography and analysis of Buber, Martin Buber's Life and Work. On page 64 Friedman talks about this work. Friedman did not translate any of Buber's works before the fall of 1950 when Buber asked him to translate the essay, On the Suspension of the Ethical. The Way of Man According to the Teaching of the Hasidim also appears in the collection, Hasidism and Modern Man,which was edited and translated by Maurice Friedman. If M. Friedman does not know the translator, then no one can find the answer without digging into archival collections.

They were frequently published with many different covers, but minor changes to the text. I have at least 15 in my collection. None were published in Dorchester, MA. One reason I collection these books is the low cost of entry. I don't think that I paid more than 50 cents for any volume. Most of the time people are glad to give them away to me without payment. Without the title your description is wanting. However, the value is what people are willing to pay. There is no market for used Hebrew texts.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Copyright -- transfer to new media
At 12:42 AM 11/05/2010, you wrote: Can one transfer a VHS to DVD only for archival purposes? Do we really have to purchase brand new DVD's of all the wonderful VHS tapes we have, that are no longer used because they equipment to show them isn't made or isn't available anymore? Diary of Anne Frank, Yentl, Hester Street, Rugrats Chanukah, and one could go on and on? What if it's a VHS that is not available as a DVD? These questions bother librarians and scholars, but the lawmakers did not fully address all of these issues. In my next blog on copyright I will deal with the questions concerning who does the copyright law really protect? The British law, Statue of Anne (Copyright Act 1709), the first copyright legislation, seems to protect the printers and publishers because only publishers could own a copyright. Napoleonic Code was more concerned about the intellectual property rights of the creator; copyright was automatic upon creation. American law seems to favor the authors and creators over the publishers. The Berne Convention combines these protections and guess who loses -- scholars, librarians, and libraries. If a DVD says For Home Use Only it means that if can not be used any where else. You can't borrow a DVD from the library and show it without securing another license. Many people violate this provision of the law because the home use license is much less than a public performance license. For more you will have to read my next blog article.

[ha-Safran]: Blog entry -- New Rules for Communications
On Wednesday I thought that I would take a break from writing blog articles about communications and marketing, however on Thursday morning at my local supermarket. This supermarket has a huge kosher section -- two full aisles of grocery and frozen foods, a kosher deli, kosher fish department, and a kosher bakery.I got new ideas for a 12th article. I learned about appreciation at the re-opening of the store after a major remodeling job. http://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-rules-for-communications-chapter-12.html Please send comments.

[ha-Safran]: RE: Volunteer Librarian
Dear Malka and Toby: Thanks for your comments. I thought of asking Safranim to write letters to the poster, but I decided that I didn't want to be the one to ask. It is our job to advocate for libraries. The poster of the ad knew that their organization needed librarian help; they just didn't want to pay for it. We should limit what is send to HaSafran. We don't allow ads for junk novels or pharmaceuticals. Why should be allow ads that are against everything we advocate? In my blog article, I state that I am not against volunteering. All of us volunteer for organizations that we are connected to. We get a reward that is not monetary. --- 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

Again, I would like to solicit your professional advice and guidelines. I have been dedicating my blog Kol Safran to issues of library marketing and public relations. So far it is theoretical -- meaning I don't have specific projects or ideas for library activities. Hopefully, I'll include ideas after I'm done with the theoretical. Lots of projects work; the challenge is to figure out the best way to approach your audience and potential audience. Hit people with messages for multiple senses -- hearing, seeing, and doing.

[ha-Safran]: News from our local chapter
Shalom Safranim, On Sunday the Judaica Library Network of Metropolitan Chicago (JLN) met for our annual summer planning session. We decided that we want to make an increased effort to communicate and create positive public relations. Since I am in charge of public relations I have revised our web site. I also created some library promotion posters. JPG files are on the Facebook page. I will offer the full files suitable for reproduction after I receive some more feed back. The posters and links to our web site are visible on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=117481051610293ref=ts Our newsletter is currently being suspended for lack of writers. We would like to know what other chapters are doing about newsletters. Please communicate with me if you are the editor. I am creating podcasts on library topics. I will be recording one later this week and will tell you the URL when it is complete.

[ha-Safran]: Yom Hazikaron and Library collections
Shavua tov Today at Seudah Shlishit at shul we had a Holocaust survivor speaker talk about at a visit to a school in Toronto. After his talk the principal took him on a tour of the school. He asked to visit the library. He asked the principal about the collection. What if a student, parent or teacher wanted to follow up on his talk? How many books does the library has Holocaust for children? How many books does the library have for teachers? The principal didn't know. After checking the principal was embarrassed to find they had very few books for teachers and none for the children. The lesson is we may hear someone give a speech, but we also need to have the books and other library materials for follow-up.

Does this mean that my patrons will not be able to listen to this audiobook in their cars (which is where most of my patrons like to listen to audiobooks)? Many car cd players can play MP3 files from MP3 players or from CD disks. One can buy portable CD players that play MP3 files, but they are harder to find than those that don't.

[ha-Safran]: Materials from Rabbi Abraham Simon
Sholom: Last week I visited a collection of books from Rabbi Abraham Simon, He graduated Jewish Theological Seminary in 1932. His ordination certificate was on the wall with signatures of all the faculty members including Cyrus Adler, Mordecai Kaplan, Israel Davidson, Boaz Cohen, and Louis Ginzberg. I was curious, but I did not take the document. Simon's daughter gave me some of the books that she wanted to get rid of. Most of the books were pretty ordinary, but some had interesting dedications. Mordecai M. Kaplan, the founder of both the Young Israel movement and Reconstructionist movement wrote Judaism as a Civilizationin 1934. This was the basis for all his later philosophical works. Kaplan wrote a dedication in a first edition of this book to the rabbi. The rabbi had been one of his students. Other books with Kaplan's dedication are listed by dealers with prices ranging from $250-695. The collection also includes a copy of Esther and Harbonah, by H. Pereira Mendes (1852-1937) Mendes was the rabbi of Shearith Israel as well being active at Jewish Theological Seminary and the OU. The book has a whole page inscription written to Jacob Schiff (1847-1920). Schiff was a wealthy financier and philanthropist. His firm Kuhn, Loeb was one of the two most powerful banking houses in the United States. He gave generous support to Jewish Theological Seminary, Yeshiva University, Barnard College, Jewish Publication Society and many others. He competed with his brother-in-law who endowed the Loeb Classics at Harvard University. Schiff supported the Jewish Publication Society's Jewish Classics series. If you are interested in these items or know someone who might be, please contact me. My list of books for sale has been updated to include these and about 800 others. Find them at:http://home.earthlink.net/~byls-press/BYLS_Book_sale1.htm. Most of the books are also listed on Amazon.com. The list includes subject headings and all the author names are listed as they appear in library catalogs.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia Britannica 2004 Deluxe Edition value
Does anyone know the current value of this set which includes all updates from 1993-2007 and both Macro and Micro editions? If not the value, can anyone suggest a website I can search that might have this information? Generally to find the value of items, one searches web sites that list used books such as amazon.com and abebooks.com. These sites list what a vendor is asking for the items. However, that is not the job of the library receiving a gift. The receiving library or organization should not put any monetary value on a gift.

This list is edited from the message that Bryan Baldus bryan.bal...@quality-books.com posted on AUTOCAT. I formatted the columns with tabs, however, the listserv may make the spacing different from what I intended. If you see a = at the end of a line the listserv or your mail client has truncated the line I intended and put the rest on a new line. The old headings and tags are on the left with the replacement on the right. The old headings are inverted headings. The new ones are direct.

[ha-Safran]: Librarian's Lobby for September 2009
After taking off from writing the column for the summer here is the first column for 5770. Last August someone asked me why a writer used a particular system of Romanizing Hebrew. I gave a quick answer then, but the topic deserved greater study. The challenge of transcribing sounds or transliterating words from one script to another is an ancient challenge. The Romans when they entered ancient Israel were the first to have a need to write Hebrew words in Latin characters. No orthography fits the oral language precisely. This month's column, Transliteration of Hebrew, may be downloaded from: http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc107.pdf It is in PDF format to accommodate the Hebrew and illustrations. I wish everyone shannah tovah umitukah. May this year be one of peace, respect for one another, prosperity for all, and good health. May your family and friends be a source of strength and support to enable us all to make this a better place to live.

RE: [ha-Safran] Evaluating old books
After reading several responses I have some additional thoughts on the value of books. The value of a book depends on the type of person doing the evaluation. 1. To the insurance company the value is the cost of replacement. 2. To the acquisitions librarian the value is the total cost to purchase or acquire the item. 3. To book seller the value is the difference between the cost to purchase and sales price. 4. To the publisher the value is the cost to edit, print, market, and distribute the book. What is left is profit. 5. To the student or casual reader the value is in the information or entertainment value. That value has no money attachment. 6. To the person with too many books and too little space the value of the space is greater than the value of the book or its information. 7. To the on line reader the value is in the information as the physical book has not value. 8. To the recyler the value is the weight of the paper. 9. To the scholar the book may contain valuable information or may be of no value in the search for answers. 10. To the owner of the building the cost to store the book may be as important as the physical item. If one is talking about money, the value is what a person is willing pay. It one is talking about information, the value depends on the reader. The information may be useless, invaluable, or somewhere in between.

RE: [ha-Safran] Evaluating old books
At 10:34 AM 05/25/2009, you wrote: If you can get online access to the catalog of a major Judaica library (JTS, Yeshiva University, Baltimore Hebrew University, not to mention the collections of the secular universities) you can check an author or title list of the books against that library's holdings, which would give you a rough idea of the titles' value. Or you could check the books against one of the AJL's lists of recommended holdings for synagogue libraries. Or you could send an author/title list to a friendly Judaica librarian or rabbi, teacher or other maven, for evaluation. A fee for such service would be small compared to importing someone. You mention your synagogue library, but not librarian. Do you have one? + Excuse me for being a little blunt. Your advice will not help. First, the library catalogs or OPACs do not list values of books. If a price is in the MARC record it is a bibliographic price, not a current value. The real experts this person should be consulting are book dealers. The way to consult a book dealer for free is to check prices online from Amazon.com, Abebooks.com or similar venues for used books. For the items with extreme value, find out from auction catalogs what similar items have sold for. Value lies in what people are willing to pay for an item, not in what a non-vendor says about them or an appearance in a recommended list.

RE: Librarian's Lobby for April 2009
Hi, Donnie, Thanks for your latest Librarian's Lobby. You did not explain how you actually reached the passage. Does the database have full text searching capabilities? I received the above question about how I found the Hebrew quote from Pesikta Zutrasa on the Hebrewbooks.org web site. The web site does not offer a good search engine for searching text and the texts do not show up when using google.books. Since I knew the section of the quote was Shemos 13, I loaded pages until I found the right one, then I read the page until I found the words. Pages have to be loaded individually. The whole book may be download, but I did not try to download it and test the _find_ command for a PDF file. This was tedious, but there were no alternatives. If I had the book in hand, the search process would have been the same, but I could turn and scan the pages faster. If this makes no sense then refer to the full article which you may read at the URL: http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc104.pdf Hag Pesah samah, Donnie Daniel Stuhlman Chicago, IL ddstuhlman at earthlink.net Blog: http://kol-safran.blogspot.com/ --- 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]: MLS/MLIS online experiences?
Hello all, I am looking at getting my 'MLS'. My institution has a relationship with an area MLS program, but my hours are inhibitive (evening position, etc); I'm considering distance learning (first timer..). I'm shomer shabbat, and all programs I have seen - though they may claim to be 100% online - require intense weekend orientation sessions, many of them more than once a year. Is there anyone who has been in a similar situation who has found a program amenable to their needs? thanks! noah paulovic You are really asking many questions. I'll try to answer some here on HaSafran and if you want, contact me directly. I have taught in several on line programs. All the school have policies to accommodate religious observances. The school vary in their ability to make accommodations. As a faculty member I had no problems even though the schools had an extra cost. One school ran a training session on a Thursday for the shomer Shabbat people instead of a session on Shabbat. One school paid for an extra hotel day. For students it is not that easy. Many schools have Saturday classes. Most MLS students do not attend school full time. Few start graduate school immediately after undergraduate school. Some are training for second careers. In order to attract students, schools teach night courses, weekend courses, and on line courses or some combination of the three. Programs vary from well run schools with expert professors and adjuncts to schools that are struggling with few full time faculty and out-date course materials. Now I teach at Rutgers, which is the best place of all the schools I have worked for. They have shomer Shabbat students and faculty. I am not the only Shomer Shabbat faculty member. Since they are a large university and have doctoral students, they offer lots of opportunities for learning. You would have to check if their program is for you. At first I was skeptical of distance education. I asked a student who completed a program at University of Illinois about his experiences. After that conversation I was convinced it could work. There are pluses and minuses. I can't look at a student's eyes and see if they understand or not. But I don't have to drive to campus. The work load is very heavy. Expect to spend 10 hours per week on each 3 credit course. During the concentrated summer session expect to spend 20 or more hours per week for a course. If you live in California consider San Jose State University, but it may be harder for shomer Shabbat person than Rutgers. At San Jose I once taught a course in Judaica bibliography. They have a faculty member who was a Judaica reference librarian. If you want I'll share the URL for the class web site of some previous courses. I hope this helps, if not ask more questions. Good luck.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Donations
Donations are always a mixed blessing. First make sure that you have a written collection development policy. Second be ready to hand a copy of the policy to all potential donors. Third make sure that all donors understand that the librarian may keep the books, sell them or dispose of them based on the needs of the library. There is no appeal to this decision. If someone asks why a book was not added simply say that the book did not fall within our collection development policy. If you need help with this policy, search the HaSafran archives as several people have shared their policies.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Movie classification
imds.com and the New York Times review of the movie both call _Mr. Saturday Night_ a comedy. Comedy vs. tragedy is not something librarians or book reviewers have ever warned people about. It would be too hard to determine who is sensitive to the issues raised by the movie. Like most well written comedy, _Mr. Saturday Night,_ appeals to a large and varied audience. Some will laugh and some won't. If you cover your face and laugh a passer-by will not be able to tell if you are laughing or crying.

There are many times that you need to wash you hands or something else and you don't want to run to the washroom. Plan for plenty of electrical and computer connections and then plan for ample expansion. Twenty years ago no one thought we would have banks of computers for library users. Think about the flow of people and information in your new library. Plan for security of materials, people, and data. Think of what message you want the space to give the visitor or staff member. Have child sized furniture in part of the library. Have hard chairs and soft chairs.

I want to show the public that the library is more than a place for books and magazines. In my idea of Library 2.0 libraries cease being static. Librarians and libraries go to their public. Librarians visit classrooms and libraries reach out with web sites, electronic resources, lectures, concerts, and displays. One time I even staged an event just to get press coverage. Last semester in the college library we had Coffee on Thursdays. We had lectures and displays connected to a place and tied it to the globalization push of the college. Once time we had more people attend than the room could hold. Think about reaching out. Think about messages that can hit home 24/7. One motto for this year is: Assume nothing! BTW I am working on the newsletter for our Chicago chapter. I would appreciate any articles or ideas for articles about Jewish libraries, books or Jewish learning that you think are useful to our members and librarians in general. We do not publish book or media reviews since the AJL Newsletter does such a good job of that. I will be writing an article on marketing ideas for libraries. I consider this a peer reviewed journal since at least two librarians read every article before publication.

[ha-Safran]: Formerly Library Closings-- Library publicity
This past summer I taught a course in library marketing and public relations. I am thinking of turning the lectures into articles or even a book. One of the major points I make is that marketing is essential. There is always competition for funding. No library is without a struggle for funds. In a city, synagogue, school or university all departments need money. We have to promote ourselves and that is hard. For almost 10 years I have been writing a column largely aimed at the general public to show the expertise of librarians. Some people still don't get the message.

[ha-Safran]: Re: Milken Archives
Hmm--- I just got the Milken Archive collection to catalog. I found great cataloging inconsistencies between Library of Congress, Spertus, Brandeis and JTS. All of the records seem to have problems. One problem is with the publisher. Who is the publisher? And where is the publisher located? Is the publisher Nakos in Hong Kong, Milken Archive in Santa Monica, or both? Is the series American Classics, Milken Archive of American Jewish Music or both? Titles vary. Titles on the spine are not the same as on the cover or disk.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Cataloging a private Hebrew library
Are you looking for a data base program or a library management system? Are you trying to give full cataloging or just make a title list? What is the purpose of your project?

Re: [ha-Safran]: Need address or email of MP PRESS
It seems this company is no longer in business. I checked Hoover's and other business data bases after Google turned up nothing. The most recent book published by MP seems to be from the early 1980's. I have no way of checking old addresses in the library I am sitting now.
