[ha-Safran] Sad news

[Naomi Steinberger via Hasafran]

From our colleagues at Haifa University:
With great sorrow and great pain, we announce the passing of our dear friend, 
Aviva Shichor, of blessed memory. Aviva, the library's grandiose, was a 
brilliant professional, pioneering and pioneer, and among the library's leaders 
to the forefront of the technological progress of the academic libraries in 
Israel. At the end of the 1970s, Prof. Elhanan Adler assimilated the transition 
from sorting Dewey books to the method of the Library of Congress that was not 
previously known in Israel. Their common book "The Catalog: The Book of 
Foundations and Rules" was a key book, a milestone, on which many generations 
of librarians and informants grew up. Upon the transition to a computerized 
catalog system, she was appointed coordinator of the Aleph system in the 
library and after her retirement she continued to come to us and volunteer in 
the key project for Hebrew periodicals.
Letters of condolence can be sent to Eli Shichor,  44 Albert Schweizer Street, 
Haifa 3499544,  Israel. Eli's email: 
shichor...@gmail.com.
