[ha-Safran] large used book sale fundraisers

[Ethan Starr]

I am interested in learning about any and all of the larger used book 
sale fundraisers held by Jewish organizations - EXCEPT for those held by 
synagogues (there are probably too many such sales).  For example, a 
number of chapters of the Brandeis University National Committee 
(formerly the National Women's Committee) have held used book sales to 
raise money.  Are any of those still being held?  Two of the National 
Committee chapters run their own book stores, one of which is in Boca 
Raton.  The Chicago chapter of the National Committee used to have a 
very large used book sale in the Skokie area every year, but the 
Brandeis website does not even mention a Chicago-area chapter now.


For those people who reply with information, I am specifically 
interested in which organization holds the sale, what area is the sale 
in, and what time of year is the sale usually held.  Thank you very much!

Re: [ha-Safran] biography of Holocaust survivor appropriate for 11th grader

[Clare Kinberg]

 I Remember Nothing More: The Warsaw Children's Hospital and the Jewish
Resistance
by
Adina Blady Szwajger (Author)

YA-- For 40 years, Szwajger was haunted by her experiences as a young
pediatrician and a courier for the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB)
during the German occupation of Poland. This fragmented account of that
time is wrenched from the memory of a remarkable woman who is at last
compelled to tell her story. In the children's hospital, the author's
duties were to care for dying children who had no food, no medicine, and no
future. Later, as a member of ZOB, she risked her life traveling back and
forth from the ghetto to the "Aryan side" to secure papers and money to
allow other Jews to escape through the sewers of Warsaw. Szwajger's
tortured recollections are filled with the ironic horror that her very
training as a doctor and compassion as a human being resulted in the most
painful deed of all: mercy killing. I Remember is a unique contribution to
Holocaust literature and an important primary source for students.

[ha-Safran] biography of Holocaust survivor appropriate for 11th grader

[Ilka Gordon]

Dear Safranim,

I have a patron in 11th grade who emailed me the following question: " Do you 
have any recommendations regarding books that depict people who lived through 
the holocaust and had to make difficult decisions that can only be understood 
given the historical circumstances?"  I assume she want s nonfiction.  Does 
anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

[ha-Safran] PDCE for both SSC and RAS: Outreach Books Clubs: Venturing Outside the Library Walls (RUSA/ASCLA)

[Stephanie L Gross]

Outreach Books Clubs: Venturing Outside the Library Walls
Learning Outcomes
The webinar will assist librarians and support staff in academic, school, or 
public library settings in understanding the pros and cons of incorporating 
outreach book clubs into their existing programming. Participants will learn 
how to evaluate if such a book club would work well for their library 
community. Logistics, such as group membership, location selection, and basic 
title selection will be discussed. The webinar will also address the decision 
to incorporate non-patrons in an outreach book club, including the 
administrative challenges and possible benefits of doing so. Attendees will 
have access to sample documents to use to easily track their groups. 
Participants will discover practical details and flexible strategies that any 
library can tweak to quickly begin the process of creating an outreach book 
club.

Presenter
Kim Braun is the past Head of Reference and Adult Services at the J. Lewis 
Crozer (Public) Library in Chester, PA. Her experience includes community 
outreach, collection development, readers advisory, adult programming 
development, virtual and face-to-face reference services, and patron computer 
and bibliographic instruction. She is past Secretary of the Southeastern 
Pennsylvania Library Association and attended the inaugural Pennsylvania 
Library Association Academy of Leadership Studies in 2009. She earned a Masters 
in Library and Information Science from Drexel University. Her undergraduate 
degrees are in History and French from Widener University. She is currently 
using her research skills as Prospect Researcher in the Widener University 
development office in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Kim just finished reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford

have good book club discussability potential.

[ha-Safran] PDCE for RAS: ALCTS Webinar: Through a MOOC, Darkly: Understanding the MOOC Landscape and Its Impact on Libraries' Digital Resources Wed. March 26th

[Stephanie L Gross]

ALCTS Webinar: Through a MOOC, Darkly: Understanding the MOOC Landscape and Its 
Impact on Libraries' Digital Resources

Wednesday, March 26, 2014


All webinar sessions are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, 12 
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description

MOOCs are forcing us to rethink how we teach, learn, and provide educational 
resources. These courses have become a catalyst for issues that universities 
must confront: the value of a degree and its rising cost, the marketization and 
unbundling of education, to name a few. In this webinar, we will take a peek 
through the looking glass to see how librarians can shape the conversation 
about these changes and guide faculty, administration, and students through 
them. Librarians are well-positioned to become the new academic sherpas, but we 
must first understand the MOOC landscape and its impact on higher education, 
and in particular, on our libraries' owned and licensed digital repositories.


This series of webinars features librarians and scholars from public and 
academic libraries reporting on the latest research about MOOCs and offering 
practical information on creating and presenting MOOCs.  It will appeal to 
librarians in academic, public, and special libraries.  Presenters will discuss 
the role libraries play in the development of MOOCs and share information that 
will enable attendees to familiarize themselves with the steps involved in 
developing a MOOC. Learn more about the Libraries and MOOCs webinar 
series, both 
upcoming sessions and those held in 2013 (recordings are available).

Who Should Attend?

Anyone with an interest in the topic can benefit from this session and is 
welcome to participate.
