Re: [ha-Safran] FW: David Hirsch's retirement

[fisaac63]

David's exploits could fill several volumes If only he stayed in one place 
long enough to chronicle them. But if that happened, there would be fewer of 
them. 
The entire field, and the world at large, have benefited from David's 
extraordinary career. As AJL, we as a community have had the best seats in the 
house.
Thank you and best wishes.

I echo my colleagues in congratulating David Hirsch on his impactful, 
international career that stretched the boundaries of “field librarianship” in 
the extreme. I had the pleasure of visiting him at UCLA and see, first-hand, 
some of the
 treasures he collected in less-travelled parts of the globe. David’s exemplary 
contribution to collection building of Judaica and Islamica, in multiple 
languages, is indeed inspiring to many at AJL and MELAnet.
 
Congratulations, David!

David was truly an inspirational librarian. I have known him since my first 
convention in Clevelad in 1997. I have never before met any librarian as 
knowledgable and dedicated. AJL will not be the same without him. I can only 
believe that
 he is going on to some new adventure. 

 


Warmest wishes and best of luck David,

Dear Library Staff,
 
With regret, but warm wishes, I’m announcing the retirement from the UCLA 
Library of David Hirsch, Librarian for Jewish,
 Middle Eastern, South Asian Studies at UCLA. David’s last day in the office 
will be January 19th, if you would like to stop by and see him before he leaves.

 
David has been an integral part of the UCLA Library since 1989, when he joined 
us as the Jewish Studies Bibliographer in
 what was then known as the Bibliographer's Group, a department he also came to 
lead as Vice Chair and Chair a few years later. Over the years, David has been 
our liaison for numerous areas, for varying lengths of time, including African 
Studies, Armenian Studies,
 Middle Eastern Studies, Central Asia, South Asia, Yemeni Studies and so many 
other areas that I will invariably forget one if I try to list them all. David 
has definitely suffered from the curse of the polyglot when we’ve needed 
someone to take something on,
 but his insatiable curiosity and relentless work ethic have helped meet the 
constantly-evolving demands of the job.
 
David’s ability to make connections around the world via his many invited 
talks, State Department-sponsored workshops and
 book fair participation, along with acquisitions trips, enabled the UCLA 
Library to build world-class collections in Middle Eastern and Jewish Studies. 
HIs cultivation of donors and passion for his collections led to endowed funds 
for a number of his collecting
 areas, particularly Jewish Studies and Armenian Studies, allowing the Library 
to document important diaspora communities in Los Angeles and around the world. 
He's served the profession in a number of organizations, including as President 
of the Middle East
 Librarians Association and the Research and Special Libraries’ Division of the 
Association of Jewish Libraries. HIs expertise in building collections was 
especially highlighted during the two-year sabbatical he took to serve as Chief 
Librarian and Library
 Advisor in the National Library of Abu Dhabi, from 2009-2011. And he’s 
continued to be involved in library initiatives such as Collecting LA and the 
International Digital Ephemera Project (IDEP) until the present day, as well as

We, at AJL of Southern California (AJLSC), are also sorry to hear of David’s 
retirement. He’s been a valuable member of our chapter, often sharing his 
experiences and expertise, to educate and enlighten us. 
We’re grateful he lives in our community and hope to see and hear him often in 
the future. 
Best of luck, David.

Besides this list serve,
how do all of you in libraries find out about new releases? How do you decided 
what to buy? Is it based on reviews? Needs on your shelves? ( Of course budget)
but are are there annual Jewish book fairs- Besides the Jewish book council?
Are there catalogues? I’m wondering what the best way for independent authors 
to let folks know of their offerings in the age of self- publishing?

I’ve been approached by a marketing company, but I have no idea if thats the 
best way to get it to my market. Are there Jewish book marketing companies - 
besides Berhman and Kar-ben who do their own….?

Any advice appreaciated!
