RE: [ha-Safran]: Judaica librarianship - Classes
An online course sounds like a great idea, especially if modules could be taken for continuing professional development, not just for credit towards a degree.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Judaica librarianship - Classes
Wouldn't an accredited ONLINE course make a lot more sense, perhaps even two or three courses (cataloging and reference, or perhaps different courses relevant to Israeli materials, Rabinicial materials, etc.). There already is a well established program for distance education in library science.

[ha-Safran]: Judaica librarianship - Classes
Greetings safranim, This topic has come up before (I've been looking through the archives), but there are some of us fairly new to the organization and list serve. SO - if you could help us out, that would be much appreciated. First are you aware of any classes in librarianship for Jewish libraries? I mean, at colleges or universities, either online or in classrooms. Not ceus - for example - as AJL does every year. COuld be a full progrqm or just some courses toward a certificate or specialization within another degree - but the main element must be librarianship as related to Judaica/Jewish llibraries. I've tried to look at the Israeli universities - but, alas, my knowledge of Hebrew makes the going very slow. Bar Ilan, JNUL, and I think Hebrew University are supposed to have library programs. In the states, I noticed Yelena had one started or in the process a few years back at U Maryland, there was also mention at Gratz, but it seems that those programs are no longer around. I have looked at all the ALA programs and have not seen a single course relevant to Jewish librarians (in terms of special issues). Is anyone aware of any offering elsewhere - or that I may have missed? Secondly, how willing would you be to take such classes if offered online?
