[ha-Safran] Automation for small synagogue library

2012-06-05 Thread Rachel Haus
Dear Hasafranim,
 
I am writing on behalf of a small synagogue in Lansing Michigan with a 
collection of about 2000 books (they classify with Elazar) . They are thinking 
of automating, but need advice. While I know this question has been posted many 
times before, (and I checked out the AJL Wiki on the subject), I wonder if 
there is more recent and detailed info I can provide. The Wiki is from 2001 and 
is simply a listing of library automation companies without commentary.
 
We use ResourceMate and so I can comment on my experience, but I wondering if 
anyone else can suggest programs suitable for a small library and share his/her 
experiences.
 
Thanks,

Rachel Haus

[ha-Safran] Curricula for Elie Wiesel's Night

2012-06-05 Thread Gremont, Joan C
We are offering a Teacher Institute (grades 8-12) later this month and are 
looking for curricula for Elie Wiesel's Night.  There are many teaching guides 
available but we want to teach it in historical context and from a Jewish 
perspective.
If anyone has suggestions for me I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

If you have trouble viewing or submitting this form, you can fill it out 
online:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEE5TjFtYmxZRVJsemJUcGQ3TTdwS3c6MQ 

For the past three years, the Forward has conducted an annual salary 
survey of executives of Jewish communal organizations. To date, no 
survey has been conducted to gather similar data about employees up and 
down the Jewish professional ladder. This data, which is largely not 
available in public records, is critical not only for professionals 
seeking and holding jobs in the Jewish communal world, but also for 
employers who aim to retain and grow talent and strengthen the Jewish 
communal infrastructure. That's why we -- a group of NYU alumni -- seek 
your help! We have created this survey to gather compensation data from 
across the field. Please fill out this survey as accurately as possible 
and share it with your friends. It will only take 5 minutes, and will be 
open until June 25th. A special thank you to the following people who 
took the time to help us fine-tune this survey: Pearl Beck, Ph.D., 
Director of Evaluation at Ukeles Associates; Shifra Bronznick, Founding 
President of Advancing Women Professionals and the Jewish Community; 
Professor Steven M. Cohen; David M. Elcott, Ph.D., the Henry and Marilyn 
Taub Professor in Practice of Public Service and Leadership at 
NYU/Wagner; and Rabbi Joanna Samuels, Director of Strategic Initiatives 
at Advancing Women Professionals and the Jewish Community. Their 
guidance is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in receiving 
results from this survey, please visit: http://bit.ly/MumF3z. Your

Re: [ha-Safran] Correction RE: Automation for small synagogue library

2012-06-05 Thread Beth Dwoskin
I write as a professional cataloger and the chair of a synagogue library 
committee where we just completed automating our catalog this week.

The first consideration is cost.  I'm assuming that there are limited 
resources, because that's usually the case.  If you have money, you should 
interview the librarians who use the various small-library systems that are 
mentioned on the wiki.

We used LibraryWorld, which is about $400/year.  If I were to start again, I 
would use Librarything, which I recommend for libraries that are beginning a 
project for these reasons:

1.  It is virtually free--about $25/year.  You can learn the process of 
cataloging, make mistakes, change your mind, and have crises, all without a 
meter running.
2.  If and when you finish the project, you will have a MARC database that is 
exportable to any other system you decide to/can afford to use.

[ha-Safran] IMPORTANT Los Angeles Airport information for convention attendees

2012-06-05 Thread Enid Sperber
We just got the following notice:
LAX Construction Advisory - Temporary lane closures: LAX Central Terminal
Area begins Tues, June 5 for 2 years. Plan ahead

The closed traffic lanes only affect the inner lanes at the Bradley
International Terminal and Terminal 3(Delta).

What does this mean for people arriving for convention?

*For passengers arriving at the Bradley International Terminal*: If you
have made arrangements for a shared van i.e. SuperShuttle or Primetime or
plan to take a taxi cab those services have been temporarily suspended from
that location. Therefore you will need to exit the terminal, turn right
and walk to Terminal 2 where you will find those services.

*For passengers arriving at Terminal 3 (Delta)*: You will be directed to go
to Terminal 2 to find shared vans or taxi service.

*For passengers who plan to rent a car*: Please contact your car rental
company for instructions on how to proceed once you arrive.

*For passengers being picked up by a private party*: ** Please ask them to
check for real-time traffic conditions by going to * * *
http://trafficinfo.lacity.org/html/lax.html  * .   They can  wait for you
in the cell phone lot.  You will call them when you are on the curb with
your luggage or they can park and meet you inside the terminal. Both save
on idling and wasting expensive gas.

There will be airport personnel available to help you.  We are sorry for
this inconvenience. It was obviously out of our control but we want you to
be prepared for some possible delays and to minimize the frustration.

We look forward to seeing you.
