new blog entry is an expansion of those thoughts.

Please enjoy and feel free to share the URL.
The previous article is on asking questions.  I did not send a notice for

[ha-Safran] Two programs of interest to AJL Members

2019-07-02 Thread Kathleen Bloomfield via Hasafran 
Hello,

During the ALA Conference in Washington DC last week, I was contacted by
Melanie Welch from the ALA's Public Programs office. She asked that I share
the following information with our members:

"It occurred to me that your members might be interested in 2 programs
ALA's Public Programs Office is involved in:

One with the Yiddish Book Center for public libraries
http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-yiddish-book-center%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Ccoming-america%E2%80%9D-reading-groups-public-libraries

and another with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for public and academic
libraries
 
http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-%E2%80%98americans-and-holocaust%E2%80%99-traveling-exhibition-tour


Even if your members' libraries aren't one of the library types listed,
they night want to spread the word, or potentially partner with a local
public or academic library on a program."

Both of these programs sound very interesting. I encourage you to
participate in any way you can.  Please let us know if you are successful
in bringing either of these programs to your community.

Kathy B.

[ha-Safran] Fwd: Summer issue feature on books - message to editor of Moment

Subject: Summer issue feature on books

I am a librarian who is new to Jewish libraries and looked forward to the 
Moment feature on books to see what I might add to my synagogue library. While 
the article was helpful I was surprised that you had not included any 
librarians among the people you asked for recommendations. 

For future issues please consult the Association of Jewish Libraries for 
suggestions. [ Jewishlibraries.org ]. There are dozens of librarians in AJL who 
could provide great commentary on must read books. 

Thank you for considering my recommendation.

[ha-Safran] Please Participate in the Preservation Statistics Survey

2019-07-02 Thread Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran 
Shalom,

AJL is an affiliate of the American Institute for Conservation who send out
the following request. I am the liaison between AIC and AJL. I would really
like several members of AJL to show what a conscientious organization we
are by participating in the following survey. It doesn't take too long.

Have a great summer,

Jackie

Dear Colleagues,

The *FY2018* *Preservation Statistics Survey* is now open!

LINK to Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JXXMFVB


The Preservation Statistics Survey is an effort coordinated by the
Preservation Standards and Practices Committee (PS) under the
Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS) of the American Library
Association (ALA) and the Association of Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS).

Preservation data from our most recent survey FY2017, as well as past
surveys, can be downloaded from the Preservation Statistics

webpage.

Who should participate? Any library or archives in the United States
conducting preservation activities may complete this survey. We recommend
that you first download the Pres Stats worksheet

to
have your data on hand as you fill out the survey. General Criteria and
Instructions are included, but for a more extensive look on criteria for
answering the survey questions and for our FAQs list, check out our
Instructions
and Definitions document.


What are we counting? Questions focus on *production-based* preservation
activities for *fiscal year 2018*, documenting your institution's
conservation treatment, general preservation activities, preservation
reformatting and digitization, and digital preservation and digital asset
management activities. "FY2018" is whatever period of time your institution
defines as a fiscal year: if that is from October to September, July to
June, or by calendar year (January to December), that is fine. You are
reporting a year's worth of activities.

Why are we counting it? The goal of the Preservation Statistics Survey is
to document the state of preservation activities in this digital era via
quantitative data that facilitates peer comparison and tracking changes in
the preservation and conservation fields over time. For more information
about this project, please refer to the Preservation Statistics Survey
website .

**NEW* Based on last years feedback and an open forum held fall 2018, we
are piloting a new section on Preservation Unit Staffing & Budget. We may
collect this data every-other year, depending on this years feedback by
respondents.

Deadline to participate in the Preservation Survey FY2018 is August 16, 2019
*.*

Sincerely,

Preservation Standards & Practices committee (PS)
ALCTS/PARS, American Library Association (ALA)
