[Zieva Konvisser]

Per Dina’s suggestion below, would it be possible to post the following on the 
AJL Listserve:


I am pleased to announce that my book “Living Beyond Terrorism: Israeli Stories 
of Hope and Healing” published by Gefen in 2014 will be on display and 
available through the Association Book Exhibit at the 2015 AJL conference. I 
presented an early version, “Life after Terror: Israeli Experiences,” at the 
2008 AJL Conference in Cleveland. Additional information is available on my 
website www.zievakonvisser.com.



Thank you for your consideration, Zieva

Dear Dina,


I just wanted someone at AJL to be aware that the attached presentation that I 
made at the 2008 AJL Conference in Cleveland has turned into a book “Living 
Beyond Terrorism: Israeli Stories of Hope and Healing” published by Gefen in 
2014 (www.zievakonvisser.com). The book will be 
on display and available through the Association Book Exhibit at this year’s 
conference (http://www.bookexhibit.com/. I still recall the 2008 conference and 
how enjoyable and rewarding it was--both personally and professionally.

Re: [ha-Safran] Elazar Catalogue Question

[Rachel Haus]

Bonnie,
I put my copy in 601.01. Since it explores all of Jewish social history, but 
through source material -- art and literature -- I added the .01 for sources.

Re: [ha-Safran] weeding fiction! ack! help!

[Ulric, Karen]

The organization taking my discards is http://bookbgone.com/

It is just a couple of local women who saw a need – I don’t know how far beyond 
the West Orange/South Orange/area of NJ they work.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! 2800 holdings discarded later, my shelves 
look much better!  And I found a local organization that will take all my boxed 
discards and do the work of finding homes for them. Huzzah!

I was the librarian at Yeshiva Atlanta when we recvd the Avi Chai grant. 
Weeding is the flip side of acquisitions. First rule: develop a library mission 
statement.  Regarding literature, we decided to go with the top 100 MLA and 
Harvard list of classics. But that was 15 years ago. The game changer--ebooks, 
tablets and Openlibrary.org with 800,000 ebooks (the 
other 1.2 million ebooks are for dyslexic, hearing or vision impaired--see 
website for details to get a key).  Yes, Amos Oz is there. If it's never been 
checked out, poor condition, have a book sale.
I'm currently setting up as a volunteer a library for a girl's high school that 
just moved into their new building. I had 7 boxes that I weeded out for 
starters. They sat there. Excuse for not getting rid of books--many girls don't 
have Internet at home. My response: each girl is assigned a netbook. They can 
stay late to do research. Result:7 boxes tossed. I am grappling with how many 
historic photo books from 1950's-60's of Israel I keep. I'll check prices on 
Amazon to help decide. Most of these photos are on the Internet.
I weeded over 2000 books this year from my elementary public school collection. 
The library looks great. It helped that i had extra funds from a Laura Bush 
Foundation grant. But in reality, if a book is out of date, even if you have 
nothing else on the topic, it's got to go.

In my consultancies over the years, I've started by identifying the books in 
several different ways. For example:
  Vital items no library should be without
  Popular books

Another trick (of the mind) is to empty every shelf (in turn, obviously), and 
ask yourself "if I was creating the library from scratch, would I include this 
volume?" I can't remember who introduced me to the concept, but if you think of 
yourself as creating the collection, rather than reducing it, the new frame 
will help you eliminate much of the dead wood. In addition, you can add back 
things you want to at the end.

Karen,
 As you may guess  every librarian struggles with this question. If you have 
space keep them pease do because, as you noted, they are centra to our identity 
as Jews.
I think that  day schools are not yet ready for digital books only.
I'm looking forward to an interesting discussion.

[ha-Safran] book giveaway - Jewish Comix Anthology (take 2)

[Steven M. Bergson]

So, it turns out I anticipated too high a number of participants for my last 
giveaway. As a result, no one won the prize. Therefore, I am trying again, but 
with a much lower number.
In honour of the 50th anniversary of AJL, I am giving away a copy of Jewish 
Comix Anthology (vol. 1). In her recent review of the book, AJL member Sharon 
Elswit wrote that "there is much here to explore and delight".

To be eligible, you must have a U.S. shipping address and have an Amazon.com 
account. No purchase necessary.

Just click on the following link and follow the instructions.
AJL Jubilee Conference Giveaway

The contest ends in 1 week, but the winner might be able to receive the book in 
time for the conference.

Good luck!
