Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship celebrates one year online

2014-08-07 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor 
Sheryl,

These figures do not include data from commercial databases but are based on 
data provided by bepress and Google Analytics we have on our site. Authors of 
Judaica Librarianship articles (digitized or born digital) also receive monthly 
reports from bepress on the downloads of their article/s.

Users find our articles in Google/ Google Scholar and other search engines, 
discovery services such as Summon, Primo, or OCLC, inside the Digital Commons 
network (by disciplines such as Jewish Studies or Library Science, or by 
keywords: http://network.bepress.com/), or by direct links sent by other users. 
I mentioned social media since this is another way to discover scholarship and 
there are services who monitor them.

For us to be able to capture the activity on the site, I ask that when sharing 
content from the journal, please send out links and not PDFs.

Thanks!
Rachel

Dear colleagues,

A year ago, today (August 7, 2013) we launched Judaica Librarianship on the 
Digital Commons network (bepress), at http://ajlpublishing.org. Since then, we 
uploaded three back issues of the journal (Vols. 14, 15, 16/17) and published 
our first volume online (Vol. 18). All in all, fifty-five articles are 
available online of which most are freely available (Open Access). I am excited 
to report that articles from these volumes have been downloaded 6,775 times and 
the current number of unique users who visited the site-from 72 countries 
around the world-is 2,061. Wow!

The homepage of AJL Publishing features the "Paper of the Day", the "Top 10 
Downloads", and "Recent Additions". Users can also run a full-text search on 
the content of all articles and receive email or RSS notifications for their 
specific searches.

On the journal level (click "Judaica Librarianship" on the homepage or go to 
http://ajlpublishing.org/jl/), users can access additional information about 
the journal and search content by volume number (slider on the left-hand bar). 
On the article level, users can read abstracts / author information and 
download the content, and also share it via social media (hint... please use it 
to increase altmetrics) or follow the author across the Digital Commons network.

Volume 19 is scheduled for publication in 2015. The deadline for submissions is 
December 31, 2014 (see Call for Papers on the homepage). All research and essay 
articles go through double-blind peer review.

Happy anniversary and happy reading!

[ha-Safran] MISHNAH AND TOSEFTA STUDIES (Hebrew Univeristy Magnes press)

2014-08-07 Thread Celestina Levant 
Hello
We would like to introduce a new book published by the Hebrew University
Magnes press in Jerusalem:

MISHNAH AND TOSEFTA STUDIES

By Robert Brody
 

 


This book breaks new ground in several areas of Talmudic philology,
especially with regard to the central work of classical rabbinic
literature, the Mishnah, and its companion volume the Tosefta. The first
section, devoted to the textual criticism of the Mishnah, exposes a
number of widespread fallacies with regard to the so-called
"Palestinian" and "Babylonian" manuscripts of this work. The second
section, the largest and most innovative of the book, seeks to place the
textual criticism of the Tosefta on a firm foundation on the basis of a
detailed analysis which upends the scholarly consensus in this area. The
third section contributes to the ongoing debate concerning the
relationship between Mishnah and Tosefta, emphasizing the multifaceted
nature of this relationship which varies substantially from one passage
to another. Finally, the afterword makes an impassioned plea for editors
of classical rabbinic texts to abandon the antiquated notions of
legitimate editorial practice which still prevail in the field in favor
of approaches which have long been accepted in other disciplines. 


Robert Brody is Professor of Talmud at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, and has taught at Yale and Harvard universities. He is also
the author of "The Responsa of Natronai bar Hilai Goan" (1994, second
edition 2011), which was awarded the Jerusalem Prize for Rabbinic
Literature, and "The Geonim of Babylonia and the Shaping of Medieval
Jewish Culture" (1998), which received a National Jewish Book Award.
