[ha-Safran] weeding Holocaust Israel
Dear Colleagues: I have been gradually weeding our collection and even enjoying the process! But I can no longer ignore the two largest sections: 940s and 950s, namely History, especially Holocaust books, and Israel. I know general weeding guidelines but I feel somehow a duty to be less brutal with these topics. Any thoughts or tips? Thanks, Toby Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1511 E.

[ha-Safran] weeding a Hebrew day school collection
Hello, I have just rejoined Hasafran after many years of lapsed membership during which time I was working as an academic librarian in a Canadian community college turned undergraduate university. I have just retired and begun volunteering in the dewey-based library of our community Hebrew day school (K-8) which is part of the public school board. Their records will soon be converted and uploaded into a city-wide public school catalogue. The library has not had a dedicated person (never mind librarian or teacher/librarian) in the library for many years and the collection is badly in need of weeding, inventory and general overhaul before the conversion takes place. There have been a string of volunteers and aides over the years so subject headings, classification is inconsistent. All items need to be re-barcoded; the catalogues records are in poor shape and in general there is tons of work to do before the conversion. There are many old books (40's and on) particularly on Jewish topics (Jewish history, bible stories, Israel, Judaism, VHS movies, etc) as well as Jewish fiction. I am looking for guidance on what of the old stuff is worth keeping. I am aware of standard weeding methods (circulation stats, etc), have looked at the CREW document on the website, bought the J. Children's Classics list recommended on the AJL website, etc. But I am not familiar enough with newer children's Jewish non-fiction to know what newer stuff is currently available; if the old stuff is outdated or worth keeping; etc. I am also looking for a few people that work in a similar type of library that might be able to give me some advice regarding cataloguing and classification questions I have for our Hebrew materials and some of the English-language Jewish areas. If you are willing to answer a few of my questions to bring me up to speed, please write me directly to heri...@gmail.com. I am so excited to make use of many of the bibliographies listed on the site, but there is so much work to clean up our existing collection first and I am hoping there are folks out there who are using dewey in an elementary junior high school.

Re: [ha-Safran] YA books
Hi Riva, This week I met a woman whose family settled in Bangor! In Portsmouth we've had a lot of action in the Hereville series, and with the series Once/Now/Then/After by Morris Gleitzman.

[ha-Safran] cookbook author for a demo
Hi: Our library committe was considering doing a program revolving around a cooking demo from a kosher cookbook author. Has anyone done this with an author they recommend?
