[ha-Safran]: Mishpatim/Rules
A 4th grade teacher has asked me how her students can act out the parasha: Mishpatim, Exodus 21. It's a list of daily laws on how to treat others, essentially. I've been searching for stories which might illustrate the value of rules, a folktale or something, but to no avail. Have spent lots of time with the Values Finder, You be the Judge, and have only found one story in God's Garden, by Adam Fisher. Any ideas? I was looking through Rabbi Harvey to see if he told any good justice stories. I will suggest the class choose a specific rule/law from the parasha, if not. There are certainly lots of choices. Thanks for any ideas y'all have!

[ha-Safran]: Cassette tapes
Thanks, Hasafraners! Below are the comments I received about removing cassette tapes from our collection. If anyone wants to contact someone about a specific comment, I'd be happy to let you know their identity in a separate email. As far as the decision for our library, I will not convert our cassettes to CDs. Since we are not an archive, I can't justify this as preservation and don't want to set a precedent for supporting piracy. I'll just have to purchase selected top priority CDs when/if funds become available. I'll try to sell them at an upcoming mini-sale but I won't count on it! I'll donate them to the Price Library of Judaica or to the FAU Sound Archives. Thanks again for helping me get moving on this! Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1522 E. Pike Street Seattle, WA 98122 206-315-7398 Seattle 206-315-8486, Ext 7481 Bellevue The comments: Just over the summer, my library got rid of all (except 1 set which is a donation) VHS. We held a video sale and sold some. The rest will be given to those who are interested in them. I am purchasing their DVD counterpart as replacement as far as possible. My lib. also keeps a set of 200 audio cassette tapes which is a donation. I kept a couple of cassettes that might not be unavailable otherwise. it is a waste of space to keep them. Mine did not circulate. We replaced music and lectures that were on high circulation by CDs. I think only if it's the last copy of something and not available in another format. How many do you have to dump? Would you consider donating them to the Price library of Judaica? If not, and patrons still ask for them, see if they are on CD now. Still, if you don't want to buy a new CD, conversion to CD is usually OK for preservation purposes -- but usually, only 2 copies: 1 for archive as the master one for circulation. We convert them to MP3 files for storage on CD's or external hard drives. $5 per tape. We then return the originals as well. Please call us if you're interested. Absolutely. Turn them into CDs.

[ha-Safran]: Seattle Conference
Convention Countdown! The 45th Annual International AJL conference in Seattle is less than 3 weeks away! A light jacket (not so light if you get chilled easily) and good walking shoes are recommended! Be ready for an incredible hotel experience, perfect blue skies (maybe) and an impressive array of sessions! Are you flying in? Light rail from the airport started up just last year and it's an inexpensive, easy option to get to the hotel. Public Transit- Link Light Rail $2.50 one way http://www.soundtransit.org/x11204.xml If you're willing to walk a little, there is direct link light rail from the airport to downtown. From the terminal, walk .3 miles NE to the SeaTac/Airport Station. Get on the Central Link to Downtown and exit at the University Station. Then walk .1 miles E toward the hotel. ( The SeaTac / Airport Station is connected to the fourth floor of the Airport Garage. Trains arrive and depart on the platform level of the station. The covered, level walkway to the Airport Terminal is one level down on the mezzanine. The well-lit walkway is separated from the main area of the garage and directional signs point the way to the Main Terminal skybridge. Wheelchair service is available. The Link light rail service runs from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Monday through Saturday and 6 a.m to midnight on Sundays. Trains arrive and depart every 7 1/2 to 15 minutes, depending on the time of day. http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ground/rail.shtml Don't like that option?? Gray Line Downtown Airporter shuttle stops at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel for $15 one way. It departs every 30 minutes from Sea-Tac. Taxis are about $40 For details, go to jewishlibraries.org, conventions 2010 tab. --- 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]: Holocaust Books for children
I agree. The Book Thief is not appropriate for middle school and definitely not a way to teach about the Holocaust! I consider it for 9th or 10th grade and up; the more mature, the more they will get out of it! Perhaps this teacher needs to learn how to enhance her Anne Frank curriculum. There are many ways for her to supplement the Diary of Anne Frank to make the curriculum meaningful for all students. Have your sister print out some book lists from our bibliography bank and offer them to the teacher. In addition, she needs to contact her nearest Holocaust resource center or refer her online to others. Our local one is excellent and enlightens many public school teachers with appropriate curriculum choices.

[ha-Safran]: Boys immigration
Shalom! I'm doing a summer book group with a theme of Jewish children in survival mode after immigrating to another country. Book choices so far are: King of Mulberry Street, by Donna Jo Napoli Shanghai Shadows, by Lois Ruby Night of the Burning, by Linda Wulf The Return, by Sonia Levitin I'd like to come up with another one which might attract boys. I looked through the bibliography bank but nothing jumped out at me. Any ideas? I'm encouraging middle school aged children at our synagogue and another to read one of the books or however many of them they want before we meet. The books all have some common elements: leaving their home countries due to discrimination and hatred, feeling they must or actually having to look after themselves, being faced with culture shock. I look forward to some great discussions! Thanks Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai (206)315-7398 Seattle (206)323-8486, Ext. 7481 Bellevue --- 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
[ha-Safran]: Cataloging-Weine
Hello, catalogers: The book is Harry Potter and Torah, by Dov Krulwich. Krulwich examines ideas from the Harry Potter series with Jewish insights and Biblical values. He uses very specific examples and ideas from Potter and relates them to Talmudic concepts, midrash, Torah, etc. citing sources throughout. I used this as a starting point for a What's Jewish about Harry Potter? workshop in the summer 2007. It was loads of fun but it took me a year to retrieve the book from an interested attendee and I'd like to get it on the shelf now! I'm thinking Jewish Ethics, 170 currently, but thought I'd put it out there for other ideas Thanks! Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De HIrsch Sinai 1511 E.

RE: [ha-Safran]: The Hasafran mailing list
I respectfully disagree as well. I enjoy seeing what the NY chapters and others are doing, topics being covered, names of lecturers (perhaps they are names I want to be familiar with). I also enjoy the political arguments because it indicates the diversity of Jews on Hasafran and who they are, where they stand both professionally and politically. And Hasafran is an online community - community is the key word, I hope. Though I'm in a big city and know other Judaic librarians, I essentially work in isolation and Hasafran is something I look forward to checking. Deleting is quick and painless, much easier than weeding books!

[ha-Safran]: Book covering
Has anyone had experience with laminating dust jackets instead of using traditional products? When I first came on board here, book covers were being laminated instead of covered with polyester and other products made for that purpose. At first, I thought it was horrible, even to save time and money. My concerns were that it was becoming a permanent part of the book, was it acid free, and it felt weird. But now, after using regular book covers, I'm reconsidering - but only if it's acid free. This is for a large synagogue collection. Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De HIrsch Sinai 1511 E.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Library Closings

RE: [ha-Safran]: Question about signing out books
Here's another way: I created a Self Check-Out Form. Patrons must fill in the date, their name, the title of the book and the barcode number. The first 4 numbers of all our barcodes are the same, so to make it easier for them to fill in the barcode number, the form includes those first 4. They have to fill in the rest. I ask for title to ensure that they match up. If not, I can usually look up the correct barcode number. These blank forms are kept on a clipboard with a pen attached, on my desk, facing out to patrons. The form suggests they fill in the due date and I have included the loan period on the form. It has worked well. This form has also been handy for book displays at events and/or when I take books to a classroom for special programming. I have also posted a stop sign on the door asking if they have remembered to check out their books. Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1522 E.

[ha-Safran]: Collection Assessment summary
A few people asked me to provide a summary of my responses regarding the assessment of our collection. So far, I have heard from booksellers, librarians, and consultants. Advice I was given by one is not to rush to sell or give away anything - that the state of Washington is not rich in Judaica, compared to the East Coast, and a warning about the self-interest of some. Another sent me some good questions to consider: Do you have a mandate to reduce the size of the collection? Do you have a list of important books in each of your core areas: Judaica, Teacher Curriculum, General? Are there guidelines from the state that will help? Another reminded me of the fickleness of book values. No one mentioned consultant fees These responses were helpful for me in redefining and refining my reasons for wanting to evaluate the collection; and another reminder of how crucial this step is for developing a collection development policy and library planning. Because I am a new librarian, and though Jewish, not a Judaica subject specialist, I especially appreciate AJL and its resources! If I hear more tidbits worth passing on, I'll let the list know. Thanks for all the support! Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1522 E.
