[ha-Safran] HUC Press Univ of Pittsburgh Press collaboration in Jewish Studies
Contact: David H. Aaron, director, HUCP Peter Kracht, director, UPP 513.487.3265412.383.2492 daa...@huc.edumailto:daa...@huc.edu pkra...@upress.pitt.edumailto:pkra...@upress.pitt.edu Academic presses launch innovative collaboration in Jewish Studies PITTSBURGH─The Hebrew Union College Press (HUCP) and the University of Pittsburgh Press (UPP) announce a new cooperative effort to publish books in the field of Jewish Studies. HUCP will be responsible for selecting manuscripts for publication, peer review, manuscript development, and copy editing, while UPP will provide its production and marketing expertise to support this effort. But both presses see the arrangement as more than merely a division of labor; it will be a truly collaborative effort. By working closely together, HUCP will be able to focus its energies on expanding its superb editorial program in Jewish Studies, while UPP will work to ensure that these books reach the widest possible audience, said Peter Kracht, director of the UPP. Certainly this joint program will widen our offerings to include an important field of scholarly inquiry. But most of all, it is these authors, their books, and the contribution they can make to scholarship that will benefit as we work together to achieve these goals. David H. Aaron, director at HUCP, stated, This exciting collaboration will enable our presses to reach audiences neither has had as a consistent part of its intellectual purview in the past. This agreement is about something much greater than a business arrangement. Books are not simply vessels for information dissemination; books produce the fabric from which cultures are woven. A press increases its potential impact on the marketplace of ideas by diversifying its subject holdings and by distributing its publications to increasingly diverse audiences, Aaron said. The heart of this collaboration is about that diversification and the desire of both of our presses to influence the world of ideas. Adam Shear, director of the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh, said the collaboration not only brings together two outstanding presses, but also represents a new model for cooperation in academic publishing. This is a wonderful initiative that will serve both institutions and the scholarly world well. Among the early collaborative projects is In the Illuminated Dark: Selected Poems of Tuvia Ruebner, translated by Rachel Tzvia Back, which presents the first major English translation of this great Israeli poet. Since its founding in 1924, Hebrew Union College Press has published scholarly works across the entire spectrum of Jewish Studies, including books and journals covering biblical studies, classical texts, history, liturgy, literature, philology, law, and philosophy. The University of Pittsburgh Press, founded in 1936, publishes titles in urban and environmental studies, Latin American studies, Russian and East European studies, composition and literacy studies, and the history and philosophy of science. UPP also has an acclaimed poetry series and regularly publishes a variety of local and regional histories. __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran

Re: [ha-Safran] RIP Lee Wixman
How sad, Heidi and SFAJL friends! I remember him well. Best, Annette Annette Goldsmith, PhD Los Angeles, CA Editor, USBBY Bridges to Understanding series, volume 5 Guest Faculty, University of Washington Information School Librarian, Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 8:38 PM, Heidi Estrin he...@cbiboca.org wrote: AJL Friends, I recently learned that longtime AJL member Lee Wixman passed away. Lee was the husband of librarian Irene Levin Wixman, who helped establish the AJL Newsletter. Though not a librarian himself, he was passionately supportive of the profession and our organization, and attended many annual conferences. I first met Lee in 1998. I was a brand new librarian at Congregation B'nai Israel in Boca Raton, FL. Lee marched into my library and announced that there was a South Florida AJL chapter meeting coming up in Miami (an hour south) and that he would drive me to it. He also informed me that I'd be helping to put on a convention in Boca in 1999! He was right on both counts, and for years he took an avuncular pride in my AJL successes, since he'd gotten me started. Lee could be abrasive and impatient, and didn't always show good sense, but he was the hardest worker you ever saw, and his heart was in the right place. May his memory be for a blessing. Here is the obituary that was in the Broward Sun-Sentinal. If you follow this link to the original obit, you can also see a truly debonair photo of Lee, in which he looks like James Bond. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sunsentinel/obituary.aspx?page=lifestorypid=171097465 Leo (Lee) Wixman, 94, of Delray Beach, FL died peacefully Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at Florida Medical Center. He was born and raised in New Haven, CT, and was the son of the late Nathan and Bessie Wixman. Lee was a veteran of WWII http://www.legacy.com/memorial-sites/ww2/?personid=171097465affiliateID=1026. He worked in sales most of his life but after retirement, he worked at his true passion, the theater. He was a member of the Stagehands Union and actively worked until his early 90's. Lee lead a very active life right up until he died. He was an avid golfer, a voracious reader and a wonderful family man. He volunteered for many groups including the Veterans, elderly with transport needs and the Jewish Library Association. He is predeceased by his beloved wife of 35 years, Helen, his dear second wife, Irene (Levin) and his daughter, Leanne Copes. He is survived by his daughters, Fredi Labaire of Margate, FL and Mindy and Bruce Ogan of Farmington, CT, his son, Daniel Wixman of Seattle, WA, grandchildren, David and Eric Ogan of Farmington, CT, Illana and Todd Navas of Whitehall, PA, Haley and Kenny Copes of New Haven, CT, Sheri Henderson of Hephzibah,GA, great grandsons, Tristan and Haiden Henderson of Hephzibah, GA, and his beloved nieces, Bev and Arnie Drill of Oahu, HI and Bonnie and Bruce Walkes of Atlanta, GA.
