Dear Chaya,

f it is helpful, I beleive that the date of publication is:

January 12, 1996.

This information was obtained from p. 112 of
"Two Jews, three opinions: a collection of twentieth-century American 
Jewish quotations."-[via Google Books].

My institution does not carry that date.

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention - Many thanks!

[Heidi G Lerner]

I would like to add my thanks and deep appreciation to all of you who 
worked so hard to organize and host my colleagues and me at this 
wonderful 2010 AJL Convention. From the moment of my arrival until my 
departure Wednesday morning, everything flowed smoothly and I was 
able to thoroughly enjoy interacting with all my fellow safranim and 
bibliophiles, attending excellent sessions, utilizing the excellent 
facilities of the hotel, eating delicious and healthy food, and of 
course being in the beautiful city of Seattle.

Again, rav hodot and mazal tov on a job beautifully done.

Sincerely, Heidi Lerner

Re: [ha-Safran]: Subject heading

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Margot,

I encourage you to go consider establishing the "disengagement" from 
Gaza as a subject heading as Aaron suggests.

If your institution is not an independent PCC member and thus not a 
member of SACO, may I recommend that your institution join the 
Judaica SACO Funnel. We would welcome the contributions from the 
Simon Wiesenthal Center of which I am sure that there could be 
potentially many unique and important subject heading contributions 
from which we could all benefit and use.

If you do consider joining the funnel please feel free to contact me 
and I can outline the steps for  you. You can also take a look at the 
SACO website at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/saco/saco.html.

Thank you,
Heidi G. Lerner (Coordinator, Judaica SACO Funnel)

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Biographical Archive

Dear Safranim,

Several years ago K.G. Saur announced that they were making avaialble 
online the microfiche edition of the Jewish Biographical Archive.
Do you know if it is yet available and have any of your institutions 
purchased it. I know that many of us have access to the World 
Biographical Index but I am interested in knowing the status of the 
entire collection.

Dear ALC colleagues - You'll find below a text version of the
letter from the Africana Librarians Council sent to the Library
of Congress regarding the 20 April 2006 decision to cease creating
series authority records. [snip]
Yours, Lauris


TEXT OF LETTER

12 May 2006

Beacher J.E. Wiggins
Director for Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access
Library of Congress
Washington, DC 20540-4300

Dear Director Wiggins,

The membership of the Africana Librarians Council - the
organization of professional librarians working in African
studies and a sponsored organization of the African Studies
Association (U.S.) - has requested that I notify you
regarding our concern over the Library of Congress's 20
April 2006 decision to cease creating series authority
records and providing controlled series access in
bibliographic records.

Series control, as with all aspects of bibliographic
control, is critically important in the ever-expanding
world of book publishing in Africa. As with many industries
in developing countries, African book publishing often
seems unsystematic, with books typically printed in short
runs and reprinted several years later exhibiting changes
in bibliographic elements. We see any erosion in
bibliographic control as harmful to the Library of
Congress's mission to collect research materials from
African countries and also to its Cooperative Acquisition
Program partnerships with U.S. research libraries.

We observe that African studies readers in the U.S. rely
upon series names as brands of quality. Several major
African publishers have made formal arrangements with U.S.
and other publishers to co-publish, reprint, or distribute
their titles outside Africa. To navigate through this
confusing and duplicative literature, bibliographers,
acquisitions librarians, and - most important - readers,
especially scholarly readers, need controlled series names.

Your annual report for FY2005 noted that the Library of
Congress has moved to improve the cataloging capabilities
of its overseas offices. The Library of Congress's overseas
offices serve as a major acquisitions source for U.S.
research libraries. Your achievement - including direct
inputting into Voyager - will accelerate access to overseas
acquisitions for American readers, as the bibliographic
records created by the overseas offices are becoming
available to Library of Congress Cooperative Acquisition
Program partners even as we unpack the shipping boxes!

Preserving the privileges of overseas office cataloging
staff to produce authority records takes advantage of in-
country headings research, which replaces costly
transatlantic communication. Continuing the practice brings
economic benefits by reducing State-side workloads - both
at the Library of Congress and among those U.S. research
libraries building African collections with one or no
Africanist cataloger - with no or negligible fiscal
increases. And most important, it would strengthen the
professionalization of librarians in developing countries.

We hope that you will lead a re-examination of the Library
of Congress's series authority decision. We ask also that
you avoid making similar decisions in the future without
consulting your partners in the Library of Congress's
Program for Cooperative Cataloging, and your professional
colleagues in the Asian, African and Middle Eastern Section
of the Association of College and Research Libraries and in
the Cataloging & Classification Section Committee on

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,

[ha-Safran]: Johann Habermann - Dikduk leshon ha-kodesh

[Heidi G Lerner]

Dear safranim,

I have a volume in hand which I belive contains parts 1 and 2 of Johann
Habermann's Dikduk leshon ha-kodesh = Grammatices ebraicae sanctae
(Wittenberg, 1562). I have a title page for pt. 2 but I am lacking a title
page and perhaps some preliminary pages for part 1. I have checked RLIN and
OCLC to see if any libraries in the U.S. have this edition but none appear
to (some libraries have later editions). Several German libraries do carry
it but I am hoping to locate a copy in this country. If your library does
have pt. 1 of the 1562 edition, would you be able to scan the title page
and last few pages so that I can positively identify the piece in hand.

Thank you,
Heidi Lerner

[ha-Safran]: Missing title pages

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Safranim,
I am trying to catalog a 2 part work from  Wittenberg, 1562.
The title page from part 2 reads:
Secundus libellus Ebreae Grammatices complectens observationes ... .
The author is Johanne Avena [Johann Habermann].
I am missing the title page and several initial pages from part 1.
If any library has this volume and can fax or scan me the first few pages,I 
would be most appreciative. I have found this work in several German 
libraries but not in any American libraries. I may not be searching 
correctly in OCLC or RLIN.
I have found in RLIN editions for 1570 and 1575 .
Thank you,
Heidi Lerner

[ha-Safran]: Announcement: Judaica SACO Funnel Project

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Safranim,

I would like to announce the formation of the Judaica SACO Funnel Project. 
This project has been established to facilitate greater contribution of 
subject headings relating to Jewish Studies and Hebraica for inclusion in 
Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).

This funnel project will provide a framework for proposing new subject
headings and LC class numbers required for cataloging, as well as needed
revisions to existing headings and numbers.  Participants should have a
basic familiarity with the procedures and guidelines found in the
Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings (SCM H), LCSH, Free-Floating
Subdivisions: An Alphabetical Index, Subject Cataloging Manual:
Classification (SCM F), LC Classification, the MARC 21 Authority Format,
and standard reference sources.

Interest in becoming a participant in this funnel project should be 
addressed to: Heidi Lerner, Coordinator, Judaica SACO Funnel Project at: 
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you,
Heidi G. Lerner

[ha-Safran]: title page from Midrash rabah

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Safranim,
I am cataloging an edition of Midrash Rabah (Frankfurt an der 
Oder,1691-1692 (Steinschneider 2765)). I believe that vol 1. of my copy is 
lacking a title page. If you have this volume in your collection, would you 
be able to either xerox and fax me a copy of the title page, or if it is 
too fragile, transcribe for me at least the title proper.
Thank you in advance,

[ha-Safran]: Hebrew script on RLIN

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Safranim,
I would like to know which libraries are currently contributing Hebraica 
records (Hebrew and other Jewish languages written in Hebrew characters) 
into RLIN (either cataloging directly into RLIN or uploading from a local 
system) utilizing the RLIN Hebrew script capability.  It does not matter 
whether catalogers are using RLIN Terminal for Windows or the new RLIN21 
client.
If your institution is contributing Hebrew-script records to RLIN, could 
you please contact me privately, one response per institution. I would also 
like to have  the name or contact information for the principal or head 
cataloger of your institution's Hebraica cataloging team.
Please excuse duplication to other lists to which this query may be 
cross-posted.

Thank you in advance for your prompt response.

[ha-Safran]: Unicode in MARC 21

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,
Last June, Joan Aliprand of RLG presented a paper "The Use of Unicode in 
MARC 21 Records" at the AJL Convention. One of the topics was use of 
RLIN21; the relevant portion is now available on the RLG Web site.

Articles on RLIN21 are at posted at 
http://www.rlg.org/en/page.php?Page_ID=3661. You'll find the link to Joan's 
paper just below the middle of the list.

AJL is in the process of making the Proceedings of the 39th Convention 
available to AJL members on its site (www.jewishlibraries.org).

If you have questions about RLIN21 or the use of right-to-left scripts in 
MARC 21 records, you can contact the RLG Information Center 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

[ha-Safran]: help identifying book

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,

I have a book that appears to be 52 [i.e. 104] p. Unfortunately it is 
missing the first 27 [i.e. 54] pages including the title page. My guess is 
that it dates from the early 19th century (?) and may have been printed in 
Northern or Central Europe.
What there is includes haftarah for Tishah be-Av, Shir ha-yihud, various 
yotsrot, some selihot, liturgy for Yom kipur katan, dine milah, dine halah, 
dine kevurah and dine avelut.
If and of you could think of what it may be I would be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance,

[ha-Safran]: Pseudonym for Rabbi David Zaritski

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,
I am cataloging a work in Yiddish "Tsu der Idishe froy" (Jerusalem 1950 or 
1951) which is dealing with the Agudat Israel party and the elections for 
the Keneset. The author is indicated as "Dovid Eyner" but the JNUL catalog 
has a reference from this author to David Zaritski indicating that Eyner 
must be a pseudonym. Does anyone have any more information that can link 
these two names?

help identifying two items lacking title pages

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,
I have in hand two items that lack title pages. I have tried to identify 
them using Vinograd and other tools. If your library owns one or both of 
the following could you fax me a couple of pages to help me   verify more 
accurately:

1. I have Tohorot (v. 6?) from what I believe is an edition of MIshnah 
published in Livorno (see below record) with the commentary "Ets hayim". 
Vinograd (Livorno 9) indicates that this volume has 368 [i.e. 736] p., my 
copy has 366 [i.e. 732] p. but it could be missing this last "leaf". I 
would appreciate faxes from p. 2, etc. (just a couple of pages will suffice).

Mishnah. 1653.
   Mishnayot : _im perusho shel ... Rashi ... _ve-_im ... _Ets ha-_hayim /
  Ya_a_kov _Hagiz. -- Nidpas be-kerekh _ka_tan. -- Li_vorno : Yedidyah ben
  Yits_ha_k Gabai, 413-415 [1652 or 1653-1654 or 1655]
   6 v. <3, 5> ; 16 cm.

2. V. 3-4 of Sefer Divre Yosef by Joseph Schwarz (see record below). I 
would appreciate faxes from p. 4, 5 etc.

Schwarz, Joseph, 1804-1865.
   Sefer Divre Yosef : _hel_ko ha-shelishi _veha-revi_i ... teshuvot / she-
_hibarti Yehosef Sh_varts. Yerushalayim : nidpas _a.y. Yi_sra_el Ba._k., 622
  [1862]
   170 l. ; 17 cm.

If these items are too fragile to fax, could someone call me at 
650-725-9953 and we can compare text over the phone.
Thank you in advance,
Heidi Lerner

help with book

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Safranim,
I have a book in hand that is lacking a title page. Based on content, 
language (Hebrew and Yiddish) and no. of pages (80 [i.e. 160), I think that 
it might be the following:

Aaron Berechiah ben Moses, of Modena, d. 1639. Maavar yabok. Vin : Anton 
Shmid, 1813.

If any of you have this book, I would be very appreciative if you could 
contact me and we could compare the text from a few pages.
Thank you,

session please contact me privately. Sessions usually feature 3-4 speakers. 
If we do not have room at this session, I will let you know enough in 
advance so that you can submit directly to the convention committee for 
potential inclusion at another session.
Thank you,

[ha-Safran]: Trying to locate articles by Menachem Kipnis

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear Safranim,
I was contacted by someone trying to locate a series of articles written by 
Manachem Kipnis for the paper "Haynt' and titled "Yidishe klezmer 
in  Poyln.'  I checked the Index to Yiddish Periodicals and could only find 
one citation under his name (from num. 203, Sept. 14, 1913)  but  it 
seems not to be related. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks in advance,
Heidi Lerner

[ha-Safran]: Online Hebrew/English dictionary

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,

For those of you who have not yet seen it, a nice online Hebrew/English 
dictionary is available at the following URL:

  http://milon.morfix.co.il/
To use this dictionary, you will probably need Internet Explorer 5.0 or 
higher with Hebrew fonts installed.

Heidi Lerner

[ha-Safran]: R&S Cataloging Committee, 2003

[Heidi G. Lerner]

Dear safranim,
The R&S Cataloging Committee meeting, scheduled for 4-5, Sunday June 18,was 
cancelled due to  minimal presence in Toronto of its members.  I am 
providing below a list of the agenda items and recommendations on how we 
will proceed with them in the absence of a meeting this year.

1) Ladino (Joan Biella, Heidi Lerner) - A revised draft of a proposed 
ALA/LC Romanization table for Ladino has been developed that is more in 
accordance with current scholarly standards. Copies of this table will be 
distributed via e-mail to Committee members for their comments, etc. If 
this table is approved by the Committee, a request will be made to CPSO 
that it be included in a CSB for distribution to the larger cataloging 
community

2) Kuntres, Mahberet, Maamar (Joan Biella, Heidi Lerner) - Suggestions have 
been that the guidelines for "Sefer" (Maher, HCM, p. 45)  be expanded to 
include generic terms that indicate the type or form of the literature 
contained therein, i.e.,  "Kuntres, Mahberet, Maamar,etc." A proposal (to 
be included in any potential future editions of the Hebraica Cataloging 
Manual) will be drafted and distributed to committee members for their comments

3) Judeo-Arabic (Joan Biella ... [et al.]) - Deferred until the R&S 
Cataloging Commitee meeting, June 2004

4) Judeo-German (Joan Biella, Daniel Lovins, Heidi Lerner) -  In light of 
various dissatisfactions with the term Judeo-German, particularly as it is 
used in the MARC Code List for Languages, this topic has been added to the 
agenda. Recommendations have been made that the current reference to 
Yiddish from Judeo-German be removed from the MARC code list. Various 
alternatives are being considered and these will be distributed via e-mail 
to Committee members and then hopefully distributed in a CSB

If non-committee members are interested in specific topics, please contact 
Joan Biella and/or me directly
Thanks,
Heidi Lerner, Chair, R&S Cataloging Committee
