[ha-Safran] Fw: Big news from the Yiddish Book Center

Dear Haim,

To borrow from Sholem Aleichem, I have frishe nayes—fresh news—to share with 
you. Sixteen months from now, on my 70th birthday, I will retire as president 
of the Yiddish Book Center. I wanted to let you and other friends know directly 
why I’ve come to this decision, who will succeed me, what I plan to do next, 
and what you can do to make sure the Center’s work continues long into the 
future.


It’s hard to believe almost 45 years have passed since I took what I thought 
would be a two-year leave of absence from graduate school to save Yiddish 
books. At the time, scholars estimated just 70,000 volumes could still be 
found; we collected that number in six months and went on to recover 1.5 
million. Over the years you helped us establish Yiddish collections at major 
libraries and place our titles online, where they’ve been downloaded five 
million times. You helped us find new ways to translate Yiddish books and bring 
them to English readers. We revolutionized Yiddish-language learning with a 
new, state-of-the-art textbook. We filmed thousands of hours of oral histories 
and produced podcasts, radio programs, an English-language magazine, and 
groundbreaking exhibitions. We launched Yidstock: The Festival of New Yiddish 
Music. And we introduced lively educational programs to bring Jewish history, 
literature, and culture to students of all ages. Along the way we also built 
our own “shtetl”: two connected, architecturally distinctive buildings that are 
welcoming, sunny, and full of life. Thanks to you and other loyal supporters we 
did all this with a balanced budget and not a penny of debt.


Why would I want to retire now, when we’ve come so far and accomplished so 
much? The answer is because we have accomplished so much. Running the Center is 
the only job I’ve had since graduating college. For years I worked twelve hours 
a day, six days a week. I hoisted so many boxes of books onto my shoulder I 
required surgery to repair the damage. Although my devotion to the Yiddish Book 
Center remains undiminished, I can no longer lay claim to the extravagant 
energy of my younger years, when Yiddish speakers used to refer to me as “der 
yungerman,” the young man. Ecclesiastes teaches, “Lakol eys ulakol zman—To 
everything there is a season.” As proud as I am of what we’ve achieved, I 
recognize that the time has come to pass the torch to new leaders with vision, 
talent, and dreams of their own.


Our board’s succession committee has been quietly preparing for this moment for 
a long time, and I think you’ll be pleased to learn that my successor will be 
our executive director, Susan Bronson. Susan and I have worked closely together 
for 14 years, and she’s played a pivotal role in bringing the Center to where 
we are today. With a PhD in history and years of experience, she is a natural 
leader: strong, strategic, collaborative, and resourceful. She’s well-liked by 
our staff and widely respected in the Jewish world, where she served as chair 
of the Council of American Jewish Museums. She has a gift for forging strategic 
partnerships, and she’s eager to expand the Center’s work to younger 
constituents. Best of all, she already knows the Yiddish Book Center inside and 
out. I share our board’s confidence that she’ll bring a steady hand and new 
inspiration to what is already an uncommonly sound and successful organization.


As for me, I won’t be leaving the Center completely. Instead, I’ve agreed to 
stay on for two more years after I retire as president in the part-time role of 
senior advisor. My plan is to assume special assignments and, when possible, to 
resume teaching, writing, and other intellectual pursuits that I had to put on 
hold while building the Center.


As you know, the Yiddish Book Center has never stood still, and we’re not about 
to start now. During my remaining time as president, I promise to do everything 
in my power to make sure the organization we built, the books we saved, and the 
culture we reclaimed will endure. My to-do list for the next sixteen months is 
an ambitious one. I want to expand our educational programs, to translate more 
Yiddish books into English, and to roll out the Universal Yiddish Library: our 
plan to pool our digitized holdings with those of other major libraries and 
make Yiddish, once in danger of extinction, the most accessible literature on 
Earth. I’m also looking forward to traveling with Susan to visit with members 
and tell you more about our exciting plans for the years ahead, and to lay the 
groundwork for a campaign to increase our endowment to $100 million before our 
50th anniversary in 2030.


All that, however, still lies ahead. For now, what I want to say as I 

[ha-Safran] RAS Cataloging Forums - new time!!

[Gottschalk, Haim via Hasafran]

Hi Friends,

Just to let you know the new time of the two up-coming RAS Cataloging Forums. 
Registration is being set-up and will be forthcoming.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Save the date - two RAS Cataloging Forums scheduled:


  1.  Best Practices for Proposing a Subject Heading (Thursday, March 21 at 
2:30pm EDT)

This cataloging forum will guide you through the proposal process at the 
Library of Congress. We will cover how to create a proposal, including using 
the proposal form, the Subject Heading Manual, and doing additional research to 
support your proposal. You will learn about the life-cycle of a proposal from 
submission to final approval.  Attendees are encouraged to bring headings 
they'd like to propose so that all can benefit from discussion, questions, and 
insight gained from concrete examples. The desired outcome is for the AJL 
cataloging community to enhance discoverability for Jewish libraries or Judaica 
collections by contributing to LCSH.


  1.  Let's Talk about Ethical Cataloging (Thursday, April 11, at 2:30pm EDT)
Conversations about ethical, radical, or (J)EDI cataloging have been 
circulating through our library community, especially the cataloging community, 
for the last several years, but what do those terms mean? What is the 
reparative cataloging work is being done? What can you do as an institution? 
Speaking in my personal capacity, I will discuss the reparative cataloging I 
did at my previous institution George Mason University, as well as some of the 
important work done by other institutions and groups.

All my best,
Haim

[ha-Safran] Checking out books

[Eva Radding via Hasafran]

Hi Roslyn,

We use OPALS, and we have cards with barcode labels for all our congregants
so they can check out books on Shabbat. The cards are all in a box on the
library desk. Each book has a card, and congregants can clip the card from
the book to the card with their name. Then I come in during the week to
check the books in and out in OPALS.  We don't have date due slips. This
system works well for us, since most of our circulation happens on Shabbat.
I'm happy to share more information if you would like.

By the way, I grew up at the Jewish Center of Princeton!

Annette’s system is very good. My problem was (a long time ago) sometimes to read the handwritten info from the clipboard. The problem was when they wrote the book title of a multi copy title I had to figure out which copy was checked out,,especially,  when two patrons needed the same copy. The idea to text the librarian the barcode is brilliant! All this was 15 years ago when this option was not available .Fortunately my library is now very big. It serves a few synagogues, the JCC and the general public so now they offer tiny borrower cards. Amalia W.Sent from my iPadOn Feb 27, 2024, at 12:54 AM, Aileen Grossberg  wrote:

We see barcodes and a scanner. The system keeps the information, and you can 
get reports.  You'll love OPALS.

 I agree with Amalia. Our congregation is very fluid. It is time consuming to

do not use patron bar codes in either library where I work. It works just fine.
