[ha-Safran]: Survey of English language libraries in Israel

[Diane Romm]

AACI, the Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel is 
conducting a survey of English language libraries and library 
collections across Israel, with the goal of assessing the current 
situation, and analyzing implications for the future.  We hope the 
resulting information will enable policy makers to reach informed 
decisions about English reading, libraries and literacy in Israel.


The project is being coordinated by Sandra Shechory, is funded by the 
Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family Foundation, and is under the 
supervision of Josie Arbel, AACI Director of Klitah Services and Programs.


If you know of English language libraries and English library 
collections in Israel, please send any information you have to Sandra 
at libraryassessm...@aaci.org.il

[ha-Safran]: Survey for Jewish history/culture and Web 2.0technologies

[Amalia S. Levi]

Could you please take twenty minutes to participate in a survey about 
your work and research in Jewish history/culture and your use of and 
attitude towards Web 2.0 technologies?
We are investigating how professionals, scholars, researchers, 
students, and lay people working in fields related to Jewish history 
and culture can benefit from Web 2.0 technologies and social media, 
in order to virtually bring together the historical record of Jewish 
communities and how archivists and information professionals can 
become catalysts in this process by creating digital archives and 
platforms, transcending temporal, geographical and linguistic barriers.
This information will be used to better understand trends in Jewish 
scholarship and to further the idea of the creation of collaborative 
platforms or digital archives for historians, scholars, and people 
who are involved in the study of Jewish history and culture.

You can access the survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FNKHF6P

Thank you for your time and for participating in this study. Should 
you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact:

[ha-Safran]: Survey on Language and Identity

[Marga Hirsch]

Begin forwarded message:


You are invited to participate in an interesting and entertaining survey
about language.  Essentially, we're asking about the spread of Yiddish
(and some Hebrew) among English speakers in North America.  We're
turning to both Jews and non-Jews to answer questions like these: Who
uses Yiddish words like "shmooze" and "daven" and phrases like "Money,
shmoney"?  Why do some people say "temple" while others say "shul"?  Who
prefers biblical names for their babies?  Your responses will help us
answer these and other questions, and you might learn something about
yourself in the process.  Please set aside 15-20 minutes, and click on
this link to participate.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=9eQwWyblG_2b8ixLqbt6QFhg_3d_3d

Please forward this e-mail to your friends and family.  We are hoping to
get thousands of responses from people of all religions, ages, and
regions of the United States and Canada.  If you have any questions,
feel free to e-mail Prof. Sarah Bunin Benor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or Prof.
Steven M. Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Sincerely,

Prof. Sarah Bunin Benor
Prof. Steven M. Cohen

[ha-Safran]: Survey

[Judy Greenblatt]

The President of the Bureau of Jewish Education has asked that we prepare a
survey on the use of the library -- how it has been used, whether it meets
the needs of our clientele, and how our clientele would like us to better
serve them.

I would appreciate it if anyone who has such a survey prepared, or has
experience with such a survey, would contact me.

Thank you.

Judith S. Greenblatt
Director of Library Services
Bureau of Jewish Education of Rhode Island

[ha-Safran]: Survey of school libraries

[Susan Morrison]

Dear all,

Our school is doing a self study in preparation for a visit by W.A.S.C.
(Western Association of Schools and Colleges), who will assess our
school.

I'd like to compare our library with others similar to ours.

We are a Modern Orthodox Jewish Day School, with 150 students from
K-Grade 8.

I would be grateful if one or two librarians from similar sized schools
could contact me with the following information:

How many staff does the library have? (Full time, part time,
assistants?).

How many books do you have? (Fiction, Non Fiction, Reference,
Encyclopedias, Jewish interest, Hebrew etc)

What other resources does your library have? (databases etc).

What about computers/internet use for students?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Morrison
