[ha-Safran] Upping the ante @ The Mentor Mingle

2012-05-30 Thread Stephanie L Gross
As a continuation of my posting yesterday, I'm going to provide additional 
details which should make the traditional mingle a bit more attractive to the 
klal.  This year reverse mentoring and peer-to-peer mentoring have been added 
to the agenda.  Since many of you do not find yourselves suited to the 
traditional framework of mentoring (as either mentor or as mentee), 
alternatives to learning, growing and sharing among professionals have been 
added.

Reverse mentoring takes place when seasoned librarians receive advice from 
more newly minted library school students or graduates.  In return, the 
seasoned librarians reciprocate with expertise from their line of experience.

Peer-to-peer mentoring is more lateral in nature.  For example, a reference 
librarian might cross-pollinate ideas of interest with a technical services 
maven, and vice-versa. Study-buddies is sometimes used to describe this 
arrangement.

Whatever your style, we hope to see many of you at this gathering on Sunday 
from 8:30-11PM.  Come together with colleagues to casually discuss hot button 
topics such as library advocacy, employment, change of careers, fund-raising, 
and electronic resources. Of course, this venue is only the beginning of 
convention-long networking, connecting and supporting.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you are interested in any of 
the above forms of mentoring.  Even if you are not a first-timer and simply 
want to maximize your attendance at convention, you should certainly take 
advantage of this great service.  There  is NO additional charg. RSVPs are 
welcome but not mandatory.

Have a safe journey!

[ha-Safran] AJL Scholarship Fund.

2012-05-30 Thread Barnard, Sarah
Hello Safranim,

We all know that the economy is uncertain at best and we've all heard
about, or even experienced, the burdens of student loans in a weak job
market. For those reasons, I'd like to call your attention to the AJL
Scholarship Fund. We provide two scholarships annually to students in
Library and Information Science programs at accredited institutions who
show interest in and ability for careers in Judaica librarianship. This
year we had a crop of twelve excellent applicants who showed
tremendous promise. It was extremely difficult to narrow it down to two
winners, but we managed. The winners for this year are [drum roll]  Rina
Krautwirth and Rachel Bloch Shapiro. Mazal tov to both of them. We hope
they will be able to graduate from their programs with less debt because
of this scholarship and that the recognition on their CV's will help
them to get good paying jobs.

 

It is really an honor to be able to award these scholarships and with
the graying of our profession, it is heartening to see bright young
people stepping into Judaica Librarianship. When I read the applications
this year I was filled with optimism for our profession's future. I only
hope we will be able to continue to award the scholarships. Donations
have been down significantly this year. For not much more than you pay
to buy a mushy card in a store, you can make a meaningful donation to
the fund as a way of honoring someone or remembering someone and in
doing that, help us to provide scholarships in the future. Donations can
be sent to me at the address below. Don't forget to include the name,
address and reason for the tribute card you would like sent.

 

Here are donations and tributes from the fund for 2012:

 

Ronda Rose  -  Get well wishes to Jom Rosenbloom.

Elliot H. Gertel  -  To Anne Dublin in memory of your beloved mother
Gail Dublin.

Lynn Feinman  -  To Eleanor Siegel in memory of your son Steven Siegel.

Sarah Barnard  -  To Israela Ginsburg in memory of your father Dov
Perlman.

[ha-Safran] What are you grateful for?

2012-05-30 Thread Andrea Janes
Hi Everybody, 

This isn't a library-specific message, but we thought you'd like to hear about 
it anyway. 

We've recently started a new website devoted to a concept we came up with 
called the Mincha Moment. It's just a quick moment that you take every day at 
2:30 to remind yourself of all you have to be grateful for. Got a job? Got a 
house, a car? Got a job, house and car WITH air conditioning!? Amazing! What 
else can you be thankful for? Your friends, your favorite comfy sandals, fresh 
air... a good book? 

So please join us if you can, and stop by our website at www.minchamoment.com 
or log onto our Facebook page: 
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mincha-Moment/209421645771552?ref=tn_tnmn  and 
like us or write on our wall telling us what you're grateful for. Today, and 
every day! 

So stop, look around, and realize all that you've got. Take time -- the mincha 
moment -- and be grateful. 

With gratitude, 

The Staff at Diva Communications
www.divacommunications.com
