[ha-Safran] A bonus episode of The Book of Life

[Heidi Rabinowitz via Hasafran]

Last week I posted The Book of Life's Live Show episode, recorded at the
Association of Jewish Libraries conference this summer. Now I'm posting
some bonus content recorded at the same venue: a hilarious after-hours game
of Super Fight that played by authors and librarians. We sure know how to
have fun!

Have a listen here:

[ha-Safran] Circulation

[Andrea Rapp via Hasafran]

I would like to hear comments/observations from synagogue librarians about 
their library circulation in recent years.  Holding steady?  Declining 
significantly? Increasing?
Please reply to ar...@wisetemple.org.

Dear colleagues,

 

The Non-Latin Script MaterialsAffinity Group of the Linked Data for 
Production-2 project invites you toparticipate in an online survey on

more powerful in handling native scripts, and withthe move to linked data, 
there is a desire to re-evaluate the current practiceregarding romanization. 
Before any decisions can be made, libraries need toconsider the impact on 
patrons, library staff, and systems used to manage thoseresources.

 

This survey will be used to help make recommendations on the useof romanization 
in library catalogs within a linked data environment. 

   

This online survey should take approximately 5-7 minutes tocomplete and will be 
available at the following link until October 8

https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0xmDmv1NgzCfBtP

I also use LibraryWorld and am very happy with it.  It has a very good user

I'd choose LibraryThing.  Emily

[ha-Safran] query: recordings of Dara Horn speaking about ALL OTHER NIGHTS?

[Erika Dreifus via Hasafran]

Greetings, all:

Tomorrow my undergraduate course on "21st-Century Jewish Literature" will
be discussing Dara Horn's Civil War fiction (part of a unit on Jewish
experience across time and place). I've been looking for videos in which
the author speaks about the book, but so far, I haven't identified any. On
the chance that any of your libraries/synagogues/organizations may have
hosted such a discussion (and maybe posted a recording?), I'm requesting
that you share the relevant link with me. Having access to authors
discussing their work this way seems to engage my students. (Last Thursday,
a HIAS clip of David Bezmozgis worked nicely; my students had just read a
couple of the stories from his first collection as we concluded a unit on
"Newer Immigrant Stories.")

Thanks so much,
Erika

[ha-Safran] request for old Birnbaum or Artscroll Mahzorim and Siddurim

[Rena Fruchter via Hasafran]

The new South Philadelphia Shtiebel, led by our daughter, Rabbanit Dasi
Fruchter, will be holding services for the upcoming holidays. There are
over 100 people registered for services, so there is a need for inexpensive
or giveaway Mahzorim, which we could get ASAP. Does anyone know of
synagogues that have upgraded to Artscroll or Koren that might give or sell
these to us for the Stiebel?

Thank you,

Re: [ha-Safran] Suggestions for cataloging nursery school library

[Lieberman, Eli via Hasafran]

Hello Jackie,

There are also two free open-source programs, Liblime Koha 
(http://www.koha.org/main.asp?page=1030) and Evergreen 
(https://evergreen-ils.org/) They are both modular and have granular controls 
so you can set them up to your exact specifications. I suggested these to my 
old synagogue when I offered to help set up their library for circulation but 
it fell through. I have followed these projects for a  long time as I am an 
advocate for free open source alternatives in general whenever possible. I 
can't vouch for their support if you encounter issues, but most open-source 
projects have very robust community documentation/support forums as well as 
formal support structures. 

Best,
Eli Lieberman

[ha-Safran] Please Consider Joining The UNEQUIVOCALLY PRO-ISRAEL Librarians for Fairness

[Librarians for Fairness via Hasafran]

[Hi Yossi, I've slightly revised the Hasafran posting, by adding North
Korea and China.\ & making a few other minor revisions.  Please post this
version, instead of the one sent earlier]

Librarians for Fairness 
3:43 AM (15 hours ago)
to Hasafran, Librarians
Librarians for Fairness is expanding its membership, in part because the
anti-Israel librarians within our profession have been increasingly
active.  You can be certain that they will never stop their demonizing.
Although we were founded some fifteen years ago, we've always been a small
organization, because we take great pains in preventing people who are
hostile to, or ambivalent about Israel from joining.  If you are someone
who bemoans the so-called "occupation," we definitely don't want you.

This year, we have grown nicely.  Just in the last few weeks we have added
eleven more librarians and professionals in allied fields to our
membership, because we have been individually contacting people.  But after
some discussions among ourselves, we have decided to compose this Hasafran
posting.  We need you.

Did you know that the only nation in the world (other than the U.S.A.) that
the American Library Association has had a condemning committee about was
Israel, via the ALA's fortunately now-disbanded Committee on Israeli
Censorship?  That's right ... not Iran, not Syria, not Cuba, not North
Korea, not China,  et al., but Israel, the freest of countries, was
targeted for that sort of unjustified vilification.

We are very careful about protecting the anonymity and privacy of our
people. There are no dues. The much larger group, Stand With Us covers our
expenses, and we are affiliated with it. We also belong to the wonderful,
pro-Israel AMCHA Coalition.

 You can see our website by Googling Librarians for Fairness.

Members may be as active or inactive as they choose.  And, of course,
should they ever want to, they are free to resign at any time, simply by
Emailing us.
 If you decide to join Librarians for Fairness, just affirm that by
contacting us at librariansforfairn...@gmail.com

[ha-Safran] The Story Snipper is here

[books2gogh via Hasafran]

 I'm delighted to announce just in time for Rosh HaShanah, I have finally
converted my Telly award winning videos to digital format and posted the
first two programs up to my new youtube channel, The Story Snipper.

The first story, The Birthday Shofar, is about a mischievous monkey who
frightens all the animals with her shiny new shofar. The youtube link is:

.
Please be sure to subscribe to my channel so you can be informed when
additional stories are posted up for viewing. Shana tova umetukah!


My second story/program is "The Sabbath Bride" also dealing with the theme
of repentance as well as Shabbat.

Permission is granted to download the videos and use in the classroom.

Shana tova umetuakah.

Re: [ha-Safran] Suggestions for Cataloging a Nursery School Library

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

I second the suggestion of OPALS. It’s also reasonably priced and the tech help 
is very responsive. It’s also pretty easy to learn.

We have been using OPALs, if it is within your
budget. It will printout labels for the barcode,
card pocket,card (if you're using the latter two),
tell you when an item is overdue, creates reports
etc.

Shalom,

I posted this in the summer, but I got a limited response.

I've volunteered to help get my synagogue's library in order. There are two 
parts to the collections. The adult reference materials are held in the chapel 
and will be checked out on an honor system; the children's library is in a room 
that is being converted into an official library. Of course my synagogue will 
be joining AJL.

Another shul member who already works in a public school will be in charge of 
children's collection. She wanted to know what program works best for a 
collection of about 1,000 title. We want to be able to check out books using a 
scanner, so I'd also appreciate a suggestion as to what scanner you'd recommend.

Todah Rabbah and Shannah Tovah,

Jackie
