[ha-Safran]: Need for reviewers
Dear Safranim, Below is a request for reviewers. Please answer directly, but send me a cc so I know if anyone responded. Thanks Edith Id appreciate your help finding someone willing to review titles related to Judaism for the Catholic Library World. We sometimes receive scholarly titles from KTAV, and spiritual titles from Jewish Lights Publishing in Woodstock, VT (a sister publisher of mostly Christian spirituality, SkyLight Paths Publishing, also sends books). I just checked my Bible shelf and find 7 titles in need of reviewers who are knowledgeable about Hebrew Scriptures. They range from a very scholarly Torah & Commentary: The Five Books of Moses (KTAV) to a spiritual title, Money and the Way of Wisdom: Insights from the Book of Proverbs (SkyLight Paths Publishing), plus 5 others. If you know of anyone who writes well and need to publish, wed be happy to send them a reviewer profile form. We send only completed books (not uncorrected proofs); the reviewer keeps the book for himself or herself, donates it to the library, or does whatever else they want with it. Reviewers receive a complimentary copy of the issue in which their reviews appear. Our readers and subscribers are not limited to Catholics or Catholic institutions, and also come from outside the US. I hope I havent overwhelmed you with information. More information about CLA & CLW can be found on our website, www.cathla.org. Thank you! Jean R. Bostley, SSJ Executive Director Catholic Library Association 100 North St., Ste. 224 Pittsfield, MA 01201-5109 Ph. 413-443-2CLA Fax 413-442-2CLA Executive Director: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Customer Service: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.cathla.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: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.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]: The Book of Esther: A Classified Bibliography
Dear Safranim, My husband and I wish to bring to your attention our publication : THE BOOK OF ESTHER: A Classified Bibliography. I am pleased to inform you that I have arranged a half price discount for members of the Association of Jewish Libraries. Indicate your affiliation when you order the book. See below for details. My best wishes for a happy, healthy, and productive New Year. Edith Lubetski THE BOOK OF ESTHER A Classified Bibliography Edith Lubetski and Meir Lubetski This comprehensive bibliography to scholarly works on the biblical book of Esther contains over 1900 references. It includes titles of books, collected works, Festschriften, theses, journal articles, essays in collections, encyclopedia and dictionary articles, and online material. It is a classified bibliography, arranged in three categories-commentaries, biblical chapters and verses, and subject headings in alphabetical order. The scope of the bibliography is international, and its focus is on research from the last hundred years. Scholars, students, clergy, and librarians -- among them literary scholars, sociologists, historians, linguists, art historians, feminists, and Christian and Jewish scholars -- will find this unique volume an indispensable resource and stimulus to further research. Edith Lubetski is Head Librarian, Hedi Steinberg Library, Yeshiva University, New York. Meir Lubetski is Professor of Modern Languages and Comparative Literature, Baruch College, City University of New York. Published by Sheffield Phoenix Press, September 2008. 288 pp. ISBN 978-1-905048-33-5 Special Library discount price $55.00 Hardback List Price $110.00 Copies can be ordered via our website at www.sheffieldphoenix.com by entering 'Individual Scholar' in the drop-down box to automatically gain the 50% discount off the list price or by emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] REVIEWS The authors of this bibliography have given us a marvelous work, one composed with great industry, patience and skill. Its broad coverage, including older commentaries that might not be so well known, will make it a most valuable resource to both scholars and students. Also, the authors have carefully brought out the multiple topics in a work, not always clear from its title, and have greatly facilitated the researcher's task by giving full listings under each subject, without the need for cross references. It's a bibliography fit for a queen! Peter Kearney, Senior Cataloging Specialist, Hebraica Team, Library of Congress, retired The Book of Esther is, to say the least, enigmatic. Of all the biblical texts recovered amongst the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls, there is no trace of Esther. Indeed, the rabbis of yore argued over its inclusion in the biblical canon, for how can it be a holy text if God and God's Name are absent? Yet this small book of the Bible has inspired scholarly exegetes and popular novelists, as the Lubetskis demonstrate in this exemplary bibliography of two-hundred and eighty-six pages. I daresay it sets a standard that others will have to match. And, Deo volente, would that others attempt to tackle the remaining twenty-three books of the Hebrew Bible! Philip E. Miller, Director, the Klau Library Hebrew Union-College-Jewish Institute of Religion, New York Past President, the Association of Jewish Libraries, 1982-1984 The Lubetskis have created a comprehensive and thoughtfully organized bibliography of Esther scholarship. It will undoubtedly be a valuable tool in all areas of Esther studies.

Re: [ha-Safran]: ********** for ALA Council
I think it is a service to us to be informed of ALA candidates who would be, at the very least, sympathetic to our interests as AJL members.
