Re: [ha-Safran] synagogue library budget question

2013-02-10 Thread Emily Bergman

We also have no budget and are staffed by volunteers, including a librarian
(me).  I do get donations, which is all the funding I have.  I am on an ALA
book award committee, so in exchange for reading about 60 books a year for
this committee, I get about 150 books for the temple library.  It's very
time consuming work in exchange for a good adult book collection.

On the other hand, your salary is simply too little; that's less than I've
paid college students to work in the library when I've had them.  What are
teachers paid?  You should make at least as much as a teacher.  I am
willing to do this for free as my donation to the temple, but I have a
good-paying academic library job.  If this is your professional work, you
need to be paid accordingly.

Re: [ha-Safran] synagogue library budget question

2013-02-10 Thread Jay Jarvis, Beth El Media Center

We are trying to get enough funds, and then approval for our first part time 
library staff person. All of our funds are from donations with nothing coming 
from the general fund. We have 10 library volunteers including our librarian.  
I think the hard thing for all of us to take, is that Libraries are just not 
considered that important any more.  At Beth El we are working on programming 
to increase use of our very good Media Center (library), as we feel this will 
get us the support we need and deserve.

We have about 600 members, not that far off from 500.  Frankly, I am envious 
that Lynn has a temple budget for a library staff person.

I have a small collection of fewer than 10,000 items.  We want to automate.  I 
need a system that provides training and support when technical issues arise.  
I have been looking into ResourceMate.  Can anyone tell me about their 
experience  with it?  Can you recommend another system and a general idea of 
the cost?  I have used Marcive for catalog cards and printed labels and 
barcodes.  They provide the same service for automated systems.  Has Marcive 
worked for you?  Is there any other system that you can suggest?  Thanks.

Hi Rachel,

books, but many will not appreciate Ms. Ragen's scathing social criticism of 
the Orthodox community.

[ha-Safran] synagogue library budget question

2013-02-10 Thread Heidi Estrin

I am posting this question on behalf of Lynn Waghalter, librarian at 
Congregation Agudas Achim in San Antonio, TX. She would like to know what is an 
average synagogue library budget, for materials and for librarian salary. 
Please respond to the list with any info about the size and budget of your own 
synagogue library so Lynn can get an idea of what's "normal." Her original 
message to me is below. Thanks! Heidi Estrin, AJL President

"Hi, I am an AJL member. I am a synagogue librarian-I service the religious 
school, a pre-school, as well as the synagogue membership. We have a BEAUTIFUL 
library. The synagogue I work in has approx. 500 member families. My problem is 
that the synagogue board only has dollar signs in their eyes. They want the 
library budget to be $2,500 per year! My salary is $10.40 per hour. I work 3 
days a week there. I would like to know what is the average synagogue library 
budget for other synagogues of comparable size? Can you help me? Thank you,
