[ha-Safran] Revised conference presentation

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Hello conference attendees and those who didn't make it.

I just finished revising and expanding my conference presentation: "Cool
Items to Catalog."  The narrative is in this file :
*Cool_things_narrative1.docx *The narrative is 13 pages and covers the
topic in greater detail than the conference schedule permitted. Also some
material was added based on discussions after the presentation.
The PowerPoint slides are in the file *Cool Items Cataloging* PDF

They are in the session:   Incunabula to Google: New Ways of Mapping Access

I know that attendees can access the files, but I am not sure about others.

Kl tuv,

Donnie

[ha-Safran] Problems connecting to Z39

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I am trying to connect to the National Library of Israel with a Z39.50
connection.  The instructions I followed at found at:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nli.org.il/en/at-your-service/librarians*z39__;Iw!!KGKeukY!xvaS5ruAlz_FhK5-QjZrvOwdfyvT3-2LlPjHW2K4KbVL-yesnu039jmdLkj4HMWxtZM_zgSRgyhcab7Xgsz1KreLPVw32OZ_dQ$
   I use OPALS

I am getting error messages such as:  Error 101: Access-control failure.


I tried to connect to the Israel Union Catalog.  This worked previously,
but not for the last few days.  libnet.ac.il:9991/ULI02 is the host name I
am trying to use.

Is anyone using OPALS and getting the correct connections?

Thanks for your help,

Donnie

Re: [ha-Safran] Buying books

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

There is no one vendor that can supply all of your library's needs. For 
American commercial publishers Baker and Taylor may work.  For Jewish 
publishers a local bookseller may give you better service. For older books you 
may need to buy from a used book dealer.

I hope that helps.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Buying books

We have recently revitalized our synagogue library moving everything onto an 
online catalog (using Opals).
Now we are looking for recommendations for purchasing new books. Years ago we 
used Baker and Taylor but am looking for other possibilities. Are religious 
organizations given discounts?
Appreciate all suggestions.

Many thanks

Re: [ha-Safran] Grant opportunity

This grant opportunity came to me from a  list for school librarians.  If
you work in a school and you are a member of AASL then perhaps this is a
good opportunity?

[ha-Safran] Hotel reservations

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

 Is there any reason not to stay at the Ramada San Diego airport?  It is .4
miles from the conference hotel and rooms are a lot less  (starting at
$159)  and they include free parking.

[ha-Safran] Book Shepard

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Every Wednesday at lunch time Rabbi Leonard Matanky of Congregation KINS
(my shul in Chicago) has a videocast called Daytime Dialogues.  This past
week he interviewed.he interviewed Stuart Schnee.  He is a book shepard,
who lives in Israel and for over 20 years he has helped authors get
published.  He discusses aspects of book publishing that librarians always
wanted to know.  It is only 30 minutes long and worth listening to.
One bit of advice is an author needs a good editor.

Re: [ha-Safran] Getting Rid of 1, 500 Used Judaica Books for Adults Where?

Hanukkah samah!

It sad that no one really wants old books.  I got into the business of
selling books when 500 books were suddenly dropped on me.  Some of books
are still unsold and sitting on the shelf.

Good luck I hope you find a good home for them.

Re: [ha-Safran] Printed in Russia/Poland Stamps in Non-Russian and Polish Books

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Hi Michelle,

I sent an answer directly David.  The US Customs requires that all items
imported be labeled in English as to the country of manufacture.  Just as
books published in New York could be printed in China; books published in
Frankfort could be printed in Russia.

See

[ha-Safran] Storytellers in Isael

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Safranim:


Below is a message from Yoel Perez, a storyteller and scholar from Haifa,
Israel.  I have personally met him in Haifa and we had dinner together..


Donnie




My brothers and sisters: the storytellers.

You know me as an Israeli storyteller, whose website *C. **F. F.* – *Center
of Folktales and Folklore* 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://folkmasa.org/a00e.htm__;!!KGKeukY!0ABoMVBCLAYaWD9C8XAJMouqkCthfClyg8FKlCWLokyU31qZj3A7vdbCHh_15WjFDHGvgy2Oh5GreuqUFRtNlAQYbL3fmahAlA$
 ) contains a
database of nearly 5000 folktales from all over the world (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://folkmasa.org/yashpeh/yashpeh.htm__;!!KGKeukY!0ABoMVBCLAYaWD9C8XAJMouqkCthfClyg8FKlCWLokyU31qZj3A7vdbCHh_15WjFDHGvgy2Oh5GreuqUFRtNlAQYbL1f4_Nsxw$
 ).



What is happening today in the State of Israel:  the terrible massacre
that  members of the terrorist organization Hamas committed against
innocent civilians, and the war forced upon us against our will, is tragic.
In response,* The Storytellers Association in Israel* joined the war
effort. Many are performing before children and adults displaced from their
homes, who  have become refugees. Most of the activity is voluntary.  I
want to support their activity.

  On the eve of the war, I wrote a love story called *'Sometimes Dreams
Come True*'. I published the book  in Hebrew and translated it into English.

It is a love story that  takes place  in the magical landscapes of Scotland
where I spent some months with my wife. The heroine of the story is a
doctor and a storyteller. During the romance she tells her beloved
folktales  passed down in her family from generation to generation.  She
connects them to their love story, and  reveals to him through the stories
some of the hidden secrets of the art of storytelling. This is a book that
speaks to the hearts of storytellers, but it is also intended for anyone
who enjoys hearing stories and delighting in the wisdom of the generations.

Under the guise of what is known as a 'romantic novel', the author allows
his readers a glimpse into the magical world of storytellers, relying on
the extensive experience he himself has gained as a storyteller.



  Those of you  interested in reading it as *a color digital copy* please
contact me and send any amount of money you can donate, from $10 or more *via
PayPal* (Yoel Perez +972-507507626).

  All proceeds will be transferred to the Board of Directors of *The
Storytellers Association in Israel*. Funds will be used to continue our
activities, particularly at this terrible time.  If you send money, please
let me know your name, phone No. and Email, so I can send you the digital
book.



with prayers for peace in our world,  and gratitude for your storytelling,



Yoel Shalom Perez



*Yoel Shalom Perez* is a writer and translator, but before anything else he
is a storyteller. The art of storytellers is an ancient art, and Yoel, as a
folklore researcher and a member of the Storytellers Association in Israel,
works to cultivate the art of oral storytelling among adult audiences
alongside other performing arts.

Re: [ha-Safran] Help with weeding

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I have just two suggestions.

1. When you withdraw books, mark the catalog entry as "withdrawn" so that
you know that the library once owned the book and a decicions was made to
remove it from the collection.  That way the bvibliographic information is
not lost and if someone tries to donate a copy you will have a reason to
decline it.

2. If  possible, replace the paper copy with a free electronic copy.

Re: [ha-Safran] Question about Passover Frog songs/stories

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

While I am hardly an expert in Jewish children's literature, I have done a
little research.  Your library probably has one of the biggest historical
collections of Jewish children's literature.  Until the 1960's very few
books outside of text books were especially written for children.  The
K'tonton stories were ground breaking in the field.  Before the book was
published it was turned down many times with the excuse, no one would buy
books for children.  In the 1950's and 60's a few titles appeared.
Children's literature publishing did not explode until the 1970's.

If you can't find the answers in your library, then probably there are no
books with animal characters for Passover.

On a personal note, I can not understand the reasoning for using animals to
represent human characters.  I could give you all the common explanations,
but the concept does not sink into my mind.

I hope this helps.

Re: [ha-Safran] Beth David Library (Reform) in Westminster California is Being cut in half.

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Forgive me for my humor --- I think you should ask that your salary be
doubled for all the pain and *tsorot* of decision making.


I purged many of the books from the Temple Sholom collection and replaced
them with electronic books. We now have more than free 405 e-books.  This
only works for some older books and books that publishers let us have free
access to.  Most of our older books are in a closed stack area.  The
library room is used for meetings and classes and few books get checked
out.  We also have books in the Beit Midrash.

Re: [ha-Safran] Story request --> found

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I found the story.  I checked several books of I.L. Peretz stories and
didn't find  "My Mother's Kerchief."  I concluded this was not a Peretz
story. With the help of Dr. Google I found a story with the words
"kerchief" and "mother."  I went to my shelves and found a story called
"The Kerchief" by S.Y. Agnon that talked about a kerchief owned by the
narrator's mother.  I sent a copy of the story to the patron and she said,
"That's the story."

To summarize :   The patron had the wrong author, the wrong title, and the
wrong original language.
Many catalog records have formatted contents notes.  This helps patrons
find stories in anthologies.

I asked for help and no one was able to give even a reasonable suggestion.
Suggesting that I contact XYZ Library is not much help.  This was a
published story, not an archival or unique story.

[ha-Safran] Story request

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Hello Colleagues,

I have a reader looking for the short story "My Mother's Kerchief" by I.L.
Peretz.  It does not appear in any anthology that I own or have in the
library where I work.   I can't find the story in any online source.  I
don't have *Short Story Index* to look up a source.  I know the story
exists as I saw it on a list of Peretz stories.

Does anyone have a clue as to how to find the story?

Thanks,

Donnie

Re: [ha-Safran] Encyclopedia Judaica sets

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I consider it an honor that I have placed two sets of EJ's in new homes.
One is in the home of a friend who is a law professor and the other was
given to a rabbi just starting his career.I tossed a set that was in
poor condition. Perhaps you ask some new rabbis if they want a set?

I just purchased OPALS for my personal use.  It was a great deal.  I hope
that I have fewer frustrations that with my previous LMS.  So far I have

Re: [ha-Safran] library software

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

For my synagogue library of about 8,000 items, I use OPALS.  It is fully
web based.
For my home collection I use LibSoft.  Of course I don't use the
circulation module.  I don't pay for the web based catalog.  I have 34000
items in the catalog and that is not a limiting factor.  LibSoft just sent
an upgrade this morning that I have not yet installed.  Installation of
their upgrades is tedious.   OPALS upgrades are all done at the vendor
level and require nothing on your part.  If you can afford $300 per year go
with OPALS.  It is totally Hebrew friendly, but does not allow multiple 245
fields.

[ha-Safran] Encyclopedia Talmudica

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

My library has three volumes of Encyclopedia Talmudica (in English) dated
1974. I can not even find out if this is still sold. It is not listed on
the publisher's website. Does anyone have more volumes? Does this have any
value for a collection?

Re: [ha-Safran] Question: distinguishing 19th-century books from later reprints

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

There are so many questions here that it is hard to answer.   Products can
be printed in countries that are not the country of publication.  Look at
many current books that are printed in China. The title page contains what
the publisher wants the purchaser or reader to know about the book.  The
job of the cataloger is to take the publisher's provided information and
standardize it so that library users can find the book.  The cataloger
sometimes is solving a puzzle with many rules and undetermined number and
shape of the pieces.

To the best of my knowledge very few Hebrew or Jewish books were printed in
post WWII Europe. Someone would have to see the books are scans of the
title pages to help you.

I hope this helps.

[ha-Safran] EVENT: Three Jewish Libraries in the UK

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

This was sent to me from H-Judaic.  Perhaps it is of interest to you?  One
project I am working on at the moment is cataloging Hebrew pamphlets from
the Cecil Roth collection.  6PM GMT is 12noon CT

EVENT: Why Do Jewish Libraries Exist?


by Katie Power

*Date:* 29 November 2022 | *Time:* 6PM GMT | *Venue: *Online via Zoom
| *Registration

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/why-do-jewish-libraries-exist-tickets-457063377867?aff=website__;!!KGKeukY!3a9UR5sCRPY7uNkukoI1KY5prnafgiC-4LI55_tVr-OWRpkg62RMphWemUVQr5FbjbWxxZTxeoENWnBVPOfjhQ$
 

Why do Jewish libraries exist? The answer may seem obvious, but in fact
there are a large number of reasons why Jewish library and archival
collections could be brought into being. This Parkes research seminar will
examine the long and short histories of such libraries, ranging over the
past three hundred years and involving both circumstances of chance as well
as deliberate purpose.

We will be focusing on three case studies. First, the remarkable library of
David Oppenheim (1664-1736) chief rabbi of Prague, who built up an
unparalleled collection of Jewish books and manuscripts – which have
survived in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Second, there is the library
and archive at the University of Southampton of James Parkes (1896-1981),
whose collection was the result of his tireless campaigning on behalf of
Jewish identity and religious tolerance. Third, there are the rich papers
of Cecil Roth (1899-1970), a British Jewish historian who was an
enthusiastic collector of Judaism-related manuscripts and artefacts; they
are housed partly in the Special Collections at the University of Leeds.



We will be discussing the key priorities and motivations of these three
collectors (Oppenheim, Parkes, Roth), how and why their collections have
been preserved, and the issue of their mobility, special character, and
transnational appeal. Why did these libraries reach their present location,
and what can that tell us about the complex nature of modern Jewish history?

The seminar, chaired by Mark Cornwall
, will
involve three speakers:

   - Joshua Teplitsky
   
 (University of
   Pennsylvania)
   - Karen Robson
   
, Head
   of the Parkes Archive and Special Collections, University of
Southampton; Jenny
   Ruthven
   
,
   Special Collections Librarian.
   - Eva Frojmovic
   
, Director
   of the Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Leeds

This event will be held online via Zoom.

Rochel is an Orthodox Jew, and Nasira a Muslim. Both are going through the
arranged marriages;with family pressure on the one hand and the outside
world’s rejection of traditional values on the other.
This is a delightful movie directed and produced by a Brooklyn, frum Jewish
woman.

Re: [ha-Safran] ISO: online Jewish book library ?

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Esther,

When we were on lock down, I added all the free Jewish studies books that I
could to the library catalog.   I also added books from the Internet
Archive so that I could get rid of paper copies of older books.
The Library has about 600 e-books.  You are welcome to take a look.

[ha-Safran] Sacred Texts and Respectful Burial -- latest blog

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

My latest blog, Sacred Texts and Respectful Burial,  is about a geniza
project. We buried 90 cubic feet of books. Many were siddurim that no one
wanted. The congregation is using a newer edition.

[ha-Safran] Hebrew searching on WorldCat

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Greetings fellow catalogers:

I have been creating Hebrew catalog records with the WorldCat Connexion
client (not via the browser).  I usually search by title in Hebrew letters
first.  Sometimes the record is not found.  I then search by author. The
record is found and the title is exactly the same as my initial search.  I
checked for typing errors in my search in the bib records and found nothing
wrong.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks,

Donnie

[ha-Safran] Question on transcribing titles

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

This is a question for catalogers of Hebrew language materials.

I found this 245 transliterated field

245 1 3  ha-Baʻal Shem Ṭov ṿe-ḳabalat ha-Ari : ǂb kaṿanot ṿe-yiḥudim
le-hamtaḳat ha-dinim she-masar meḥolel ha-ḥasidut le-talmidaṿ = The
Baʻal Shem Tov and the Lurianic Kabbalah : intentions and unifications for
sweetening the judgments delivered by the founder of Hasidism to his
disciples / ǂc Roʻi Horen.

In the Hebrew 245 field the English title is a parallel title.
הבעל שם טוב וקבלת האר״י : ǂb כוונות ויחודים להמתקת הדינים שמסר מחולל
החסידות לתלמידיו = Baʻal Shem Tov and the Lurianic Kabbalah : intentions
and unifications for sweetening the judgments delivered by the founder of
Hasidism to his disciples / ǂc רועי הורן.


The English title does not appear on the title page of the book. It is on
another page as reflected in the 246 field.   My interpretation of the RDA
and AACR rules is that the 245 is a transcription of the title page.  The
parallel title is in the 245 only when both titles are on the same or
facing pages.  Is this correct?

Thanks and Shabbat shalom

Re: [ha-Safran] Personal libraries

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

The answer is, "it depends."   I just finished removing 32 heavy boxes of
books donated to the library.  I wish that I could have kept more, but
there is no room.

Re: [ha-Safran] Synagogue library in an orthodox shul?

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I belong to two Orthodox shuls.  Both have large collections of books.  One
has a room that is called "Library."  I would not call these collections
"libraries" because they have no catalogs, no person in charge, no
collection development policies,  etc.  They never asked for librarian
expertise from me.

[ha-Safran] American Jewish University Library

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I was in Los Angeles for all of Sukkot.  Since I like to visit libraries, I
arranged with Jackie Ben-Efraim of AJU to visit.  I met Jackie online at
the AJL conference and discovered that she shares my interest in collecting
postcards.

On Thursday of Hol Hamoed I visited AJU Library.  I want to tell everyone
this is an amazing library with unique treasures and facilities that
demonstrate this is one of best Judaica libraries in the country.  Jackie
was a most gracious and knowledgeable host. I thank her and all the people
who work for the institution.

Todah rabah,

Donnie

Re: [ha-Safran] question about kippot

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I am a librarian at a Reform congregation.  The library has a collection of
kippot from bar/bat mitzvah and wedding  celebrations.  I don't know the
practice of individuals.  In classes some wear a kippah and some don't.  I
was hoping to do an historical analysis of styles, but I don't have enough
kippot from before 2000 to make any worthwhile observations.

In the past couple of weeks we have been cleaning out the building.  We
found hundreds of kippot that ba'al simhat just left in the building.  I
gave away a few hundred dark colored ones.  The others were just pitched.
No one outside of a bat/bar mitzvah event would wear a pink or silver
kippah. I gave a few to men my age at my orthodox shul.  I offered some to
a teenager who wore that kind of kippah.  He examined them carefully and
then said they're more than 10 years old.  That's too old to wear.  The
kipport looked new.

For you question 6 " When was the practice of wearing knitted or patterned
kippot begun in North America? "  I am hoping to study this topic.  After
Israeli Independence youngsters started wearing blue and white kippot.
Before the late 1960's very few people wore kippot in public. Observant men
would wear a hat in public and put on a kipah when indoors. In Germany
Orthodox men would put on kippot when studying Jewish texts, but not during
general studies.

I hope that helps.

[ha-Safran] Palestine Songs

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

As a follow-up to my conference presentation on Zionism in Children's
literature, I uploaded the two pre-1945 albums with Hebrew songs to the
Internet Archive.  These two items were not found in any digital format
before.

*Sing Palestine *

The quality is low compared to contemporary recordings.  I tried to clean
away the noise and clicks.

Enjoy.

[ha-Safran] Descriptive cataloging question

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

 I have an edition of  Arthur Szyk's Passover Haggadah that has printing on
one side of the leaves and then folded before binding. It looks like a
regular page and is counted as a regular page.  I have another edition of
this book and the pages are printed on both sides.  Since the covers are
different and  content is not 100% the same I will be keeping both.

Is there a special term for this?  How can I differentiate this pagination
in the 300 field?

Re: [ha-Safran] For synagogue librarians--amount of donations confidential?

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Greetings Judy:

Clearly your executive director is not understanding the nature and
psychology of fundraising and donations.  Part of the reason we announce
donations is for the competition. Donors think  "If my friend Y gives that
much, I'll give more."  Donation amounts are routinely published in
Federation newsletters, organizational newsletters, and congregational
newsletters. People like the honor of being able to see their name.   A
donor may request anonymity,  but most don't.  Every Shabbat morning when
people are called up to the Torah and we make a mi-shebarah we announce the
amount unless the person requests not to.  Some congregations auction
honors.  This is competitive and brings in a lot of donations for the
congregation.

Personally, I think announcing the amounts divides people into the "have"
and "have-nots."  However, my opinion is in the minority and I keep this
opinion to myself..

On the practical side, if the library puts book plates to honor the donor,
then the library could have a rule such as "Every $20 entitles the donor to
one bookplate, unless the book is of higher value."  Sometimes families use
a book donation for a centerpiece at a bar or bat mitzvah celebration.  The
celebrant works with the librarian for the selection of the books.

I hope this helps,

Shabbat shalom

[ha-Safran] Revised Blog-- Heroes of Learning

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

In 2000 I wrote a series of blogs on heroes of learning.  I have been updating 
and revising these articles while retaining the spirit of the original.  In 
November 2000 I wrote about Rabbi Shmuel Jablon. Now he is the executive 
director of Shappell's in Jerusalem.  After some exchanges of e-mail and text 
messages I updated what I wrote about him.  As a connection to Yo Ha'atzmaut  I 
publish the revised version in my blog Kol Safran.

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2021/04/heroes-of-learning-part-two-nov-2000.html__;!!KGKeukY!jrf6TI2q6A3XnnBHbx0OksCqDWSOceJ9nwh5LEvk_JEyQNh07SwDzl81q-w94xnlCK8$
 
Please share.

Happy 5th of Iyar, Yom Ha'atzmaut.

[ha-Safran] Searching for K'Tonton article

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I need help finding  an article that is not in any digital source.  I can't
find a paper copy in any Chicago library.  I did want to see the whole
issue, but I will have to settle for a scanned copy of the article.


In the first issue of Women's League Outlook (September 1930) is the first
K'Tonton story by Sadie Rose Weilerstein. I don't know the exact title.


Periodical Title :  Women's League outlook.

Responsibility : Women's League for Conservative Judaism.



New York, N.Y. : Women's League of the United Synagogue of America

Vol. 1, no. 1 (Sept. 1930)-v. 77, no. 3 (spring/summer 2007).


This is part of my preparation for a presentation at June's AJL
conference.  I would be grateful if someone could supply a photocopy and
e-mail it to me.  I will give you credit for helping with the presentation.

There are many other books that I would like to consult that do not seem to
have electronic copies and are not available locally.  I am not sure how to
examine them as I have no travel funds to visit other cities.  Some items I
can't even find cataloged in WorldCat.

Thanks,

Donnie

[ha-Safran] Jewish Book Week archives

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I am conducting research to find out what Jewish children were reading
before 1948,   In the Jewish Book Week Annual of 1952 on page 35, it says
the National Committee for Jewish Book Week published a list of Jewish
books for the Hebrew School Library and another for the Jewish home.  I
can't find these publications in WorldCat, JTS Library, HUC-JIR,  New York
PL, Google,  or the Internet Archive. I also wrote to the Jewish Book
Council.  Do you have any idea where they can be found?

Thanks  and Hag Pesah Samah,

[ha-Safran] Judaica periodical database

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Is there a database that has Judaica periodicals that is available and
affordable for the synagogue  or Jewish school? I would like to give remote
access to content. I searched EBSCO, but didn't find anything.  Ebsco has
not yet answered my query.

Thanks.

[ha-Safran] ALA mid-winter

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I attended the ALA Midwinter Conference virtually.  They had 7,012
attendees.  7,698 attended in Philadelphia in 2020, and 6,347 attended in
Seattle in 2019.  Without the need to travel they had significantly fewer
attendees.  I missed the excitement of being there in person and I missed
learning from multiple sessions.  Many of the guest speakers were just
saying how great libraries are in the community.

I think AJL's conference was much better.  We had more people attending
virtually than the last in-person conference.  We learned and socialized.
We got to know some fellow librarians who were once just names on
Hasafran.  This is just another round of thanks for a job well done.

Re: [ha-Safran] Digital primary sources in Hebrew on war, displacement or migration

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Gabriel,

I think you need to ask the patron more questions about what they need.
Generally academic databases are language agnostic. Ebsco and Proquest are
used in Israel.  Perhaps your patron could look at the digital resources of
Israeli universities? Perhaps the patron could use a website that assembles
the documents? Perhaps books are better than digital sources?  The word
"documentary" in the title is a clue that the contents contain documents.

I have cataloged many digital resources.  Check the Temple Sholom catalog
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tsc-hl.mimas.opalsinfo.net/bin/home__;!!KGKeukY!md8fiBR8fyRVrj0r3bq_cLi9diRlrfiFePciVKmX1v_dNp_rZEy9Llb48jFdMKB5wHM$
Use the search terms
"database" and "website"  in the subject field.

I hope that helps.

[ha-Safran] The New National Library

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

In the current blog from the National Library of Israel they reprint an
article from their blog from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://blog.nli.org.il/en/rabbi-sacks-home-of-the-book/__;!!KGKeukY!kyeQrae64CPWT28FCt_ulerOnfKzuuhZ_qZ4Xmw1N1jlWud4ZOjWj7Pbbw-W-ZhDnpg$
 )  Rabbi Sacks
tells of the importance of library, knowledge, and spread of knowledge.
The following paragraph is what we always wish for -- the Library and our
libraries should be the center of the state and the organization.

It is therefore my hope and my dream that the day will come when visitors
to the State of Israel, be they presidents, prime ministers, or popes, will
be taken not first to Yad Vashem, however important that is, but here to
the new national and international library, which I propose should be
subtitled, “The Home of the Book for the People of the Book.” Let us show
the world not only how Jews died but how Jews live.

 *Bimhera beyameinu, Amen* – speedily in our days, Amen.

information: https://cathla.org/
Schedule:
https://cathla.org/common/Uploaded%20files/2020%20Fall%20Virtual%20Conference%20Schedule.pdf

[ha-Safran] New Blog Article: The Power of Law

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Every week I try to write a *davar* Torah with lessons from the Torah
portion as applied to the business world.  Usually these articles only go
to my friends and relatives.Because of all the positive remarks, I
revised the *devar* Torah for Re'eh for a more general distribution.  It is
now posted to my blog.  Please feel free to share and make comments.

https://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-power-of-law.html

Please let me know if you want to be on the friend list.

Since I lost my website on Earthlink, I have been publishing my Librarian's
Lobby articles on my Blogspot pages.  There are now 20 articles from the
years 1998-1999.  Some of them are still relevant 21 years later.

Re: [ha-Safran] Heidi Rabinowitz presents at ALA Annual

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Her presentation was the best part of the ALA conference.  I was very
disappointed with the speakers, their messages, and the format.  I found it
very hard to figure out how to attend sessions.  The "on demand" sessions
were not on demand. When I attended in person it was exciting.  What did
you think of the conference?

[ha-Safran] My old Librarian's Lobby

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Since I am losing my web host I have been trying to move all my old files
to a new server.  The first 9  LIbrarian's Lobby columns are now on my blog
https://kol-safran.blogspot.com/ These are from 1997-8.  Edits have been
minimal.  I have not attempted to update them.  I removed the links to web
pages and edited for appearance, but mostly they are as originally
published.

Shalom,

Donnie

Re: [ha-Safran] Internet Archive Open Library lawsuit

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I am not a lawyer, but here is an article written by someone who is a 
librarian, lawyer and copyright scholar.  Libraries lend books under section 
109 of the Copyright law "first sale. "  The First Sale concept was upheld in 
the court case  Capitol Records, LLC v. ReDigi Inc., 910 F. 3d 649 (2nd Cir 
2018). 

"Fair Use" was decided in the  case from the U.S. Supreme Court, Sony Corp. of 
America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984). (Commonly know as 
the Betamax Case.") This case allowed the lending of video tapes.

https://kylecourtney.com/2020/05/18/libraries-do-not-need-permission-fair-use-first-sale-and-the-fallacy-of-permission-culture/

I am working on an article on Noah Webster and the first American copyright 
law. I have a deep interest in seeing that authors and publishers benefit from 
the fruits of their labor. It is my humble opinion that the concept of first 
sale is not being violated by the Internet Archive. 

Copyright is a balance of the rights of the creators, the investors, and the 
public who wants knowledge and entertainment.

I hope this helps.

Is there any guidance from AJL (or any other library organization) about 
whether it's still ok to direct patrons to the Internet Archive Open Library 
while it's involved in a lawsuit?

Re: [ha-Safran] Internet Archive

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I have long studied copyright issues.  Copyright is an important right
granted by the constitution for the promotion of knowledge and science.  It
was meant to give a limited monopoly to produce and sell publications.
Originally it was a commercial protection not intellectual property
protection.
The Internet Archive is lending e-books.  It is doing what libraries all
over the world are doing.  The loan period is two weeks.  The justification
is while physical libraries are closed, millions of book sit unused on the
shelves.  These books were bought and paid for.

A long time ago libraries were allowed to lend books without violating
copyright laws. Libraries are an important market for the book trade and
scholarly publications.

Copyright violations are very hard to enforce.  I have found people who
stole my works.  I found an article that out of 500 words, 490 were mine.
They would not even apologize or acknowledge that they stole my work. Since
the monetary loss was hard to prove, I could not afford to hire an
attorney.  If they would have just asked permission, I would have been glad
to let them reprint my work.  

The Internet Archive is saving digital information that is part of our
historical record. They deserve our thanks and support. As librarians, we
want to catalog, preserve and disseminate knowledge.  We should thank all
those people and organizations who help us in the task.

Re: [ha-Safran] 2020 AJL Conference cancelled

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

My previous message had a typo.  Sorry. I meant to say I would attend a
conference with content, but not one with only hot air.

I was looking forward to presenting a session at the conference.  I* would*
be willing to virtually present the session.

For a week I have very little to do for my regular job.  Now I have so much
work that I put in close to 11 hours yesterday.

Keep well and check in often.

The Catholic Library Association is having a virtual conference on April
2.  The program is mostly speeches. That is not learning or professional
development.I would attend such a conference.

Re: [ha-Safran] Unwanted donations

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Donations are a mixed blessing.  You have already done what I would do.
However,  sometimes I am able to sell some books and sometimes I know of
people who would like the donated books and I let them know.  Two weeks ago
someone donated some medical scrubs.  I put them on the giveaway shelves
and they were gone within an hour.

[ha-Safran] Visiting Libraries in Israel

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Shalom,

I will be in Israel Dec 30 - Jan 12 and would love to visit some libraries
and share ideas.  On Jan 9th I will be speaking at the University of Haifa
on the topic of the role of the library and librarians in the world of
Google.  I could give the same talk at another place.  I have Jan 2, 5 and
8th open. I have never been to the Weizmann Institute, University of
Beersheva or Ariel University.  I am essentially offering a free
consultation.

If you don't see me in Israel, remember AJL annual Convention is in Chicago
this year.  The hotel is in Evanston, close to the Jewish community.  See
you there.

Kol Tuv,

Donnie

[ha-Safran] Trip to Israel

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Hello safranim in Israel,

I am planning to visit Israel Dec 30 - Jan 12. I would be interested to
visit with librarians and discuss common concerns.  Since the upcoming AJL
conference is in Chicago in June 2020 and I am one the committee, I would
be happy to share any ideas and answer any questions about Chicago.

While in Israel I would love to give some lectures or talks about
librarianship.  My areas of interest are cataloging and marketing.  I hope
to give a lecture on the cataloging of unusual materials.

Send me private messages.

Todah,

Donnie

[ha-Safran] Librarians outside the US Fulbright Specialist Program

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

 Shavuah tov,

I part of the Fulbright Specialist Program.  This is a program to send
specialists to all parts of the world.I would like to share my knowledge
and expertise in the areas of Judaica librarianship, cataloging,
information seeking behaviors, or other others of librarianship.  The
Fulbright program pays a stipend, but the guest institution is responsible
for living expenses.

If you are interested you will have to sign up at the web site of your
local US Embassy.   I can't solicit a specific organization to hire me,but
I can help you a specification that  would fit my expertise.

I seek an placement in Israel, Canada, UK or Australia.

Todah,

[ha-Safran] new

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I came across an article from July 1940 concerning an arrest of two men for 
wearing short shorts.  I searched online newspaper files and had to visit two 
libraries in another city in quest for the reason.  This blog article, Who Wore 
Short Shorts? is the story of the search.

https://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2019/09/who-wore-short-shorts.html

Enjoy and feel free to share.

Shabbat shalom

Re: [ha-Safran] UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE IN A PUBLIC LIBRARY DEPT.

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I don't want to defend rude behavior, however, many times I have helped
someone with a difficult printing situation.  I tried so many options
before it worked, that I couldn't even remember what I did.

[ha-Safran] Collecting and cataloging invitations

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Is anyone collecting bar/bat mitzvah and wedding invitations?

I have a cataloging question -- I am thinking of collecting Bar/Bat mitzvah
invitations. I'm trying to think of ways to bulk catalog them. That is not
catalog each item, but still have information so that I can check for a
name. Do you have any ideas for collection level cataloging?

How do you store them?  I have two ideas -- one to use photo boxes and the
other to digitize them.

Thanks,

[ha-Safran] New Blog entry Used Books in the Market Place

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Eleven days ago I posted a few thoughts on the selling of used books.  This
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

Re: [ha-Safran] BBYO camp in the Poconos has a collection of Jewish books, collected over the last 60+ years and is looking for a new home for them

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Since two people have asked about used books, let me give one opinion based
on many years of collecting and more than 10 years of selling used books.

1. I don't make a living selling books.  I am lucky to sell 2-3 books per
month.  Selling is part of my mission to get books into the hands of those
who can use them.  Books that have little monetary value I give away.  I
want to be known at shul as the book-man rather than the candy-man.

2, Very, very few used books have value beyond the cost when new.  Even if
you see a very high price on an old or famous book it is not likely that
that the resale price is higher than what the person would have earned
depositing the price of the book in a bank at time of purchase and accruing
interest.  Books to do not increase in value like the stock market.
However, some books have a value far beyond money.  Many books have
influenced Jewish life and civilization far beyond monetary value.

3.  Selling used books is costly.  I have to inventory each book.  Whereas
a retailer of new goods can list an item once and keep changing the
inventory numbers, I can't because I don't know if I will ever get another
copy.

4. Young people who want books would rather purchase a new book because it
looks nicer.  I once had a whole Talmud to give away that no one would take
for free.  They wanted the latest printing because of the commentaries in
the back.  While I once sold a book for $600, there are few people who
collect books like that.  If one wants the intellectual content, it is
available on-line for free or low cost.  Few people can afford the time and
space to build valuable collections.

5. On the other side, the libraries I have worked in have received as gifts
books that they could not have afforded to buy when they first came out and
can't afford the time and money to purchase on the new market.  I accept
books on the condition the library can keep, sell, or give them away.

6. In recent months members of the community have asked me to take their
books.  One was from the estate of a prominent rabbi.  The children and
 grandchildren took a few books.  I even insisted that one grandson who is
starting his first job take some of the important books because they are
basic Jewish books and because they belonged to his grandfather.  The books
could have been purchased new. Another collection I couldn't take
anything.  The important books were old and tired looking and had not
monetary value.  The others just had no resale value.  While I love looking
at collections that I could take for free, I have no room for more
inventory.  Last summer I took 21 boxes of books from a deceased
professor.  I was lucky to find  buyers for many items.  The buyers got
good deals when the price was compared to retail and I made money for my
time.  Some items cost more than $200 when new and I can't even get $10 for
them today.

7. Old Siddurim and Humashim have value only when someone wants them.  I
have been able to give away a few Hertz humashim.  I try to have a
collection of all the siddurim that the congregation has used.  The extra
copies will probably go in to shamot for burial.  There is one interesting
story -- the synagogue where my Aunt Rose was a member (she died in 1979)
gave away their Hertz humashim to a shul in another city.  One day I got a
call from a distant cousin in that shul.  She found the Humash that my Aunt
Rose had donated.

8. Old books are a mixed blessing.  Scholars and collectors can get good
deals buying used books.  They can get books that are out of print.  The
buying and selling process is very time consuming.  Buyer and sellers must
be dedicated to learning and books.

I hope that helps.

Shabbat shalom.

[ha-Safran] New Blog article -- Cataloging of Kippot

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

When we wanted to start a collection of kippot, we needed some rules for 
bibliographic records.  My latest article is on the cataloging of artifacts.

The article is aimed at catalogers and serious library users.
Enjoy and don't hesitate to share the link.

[ha-Safran] Artifacts in the catalog

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Shalom,

Does anyone library have artifacts or realia in your library catalog?  I'm
starting a collection of kippot.  I have developed some rules for
cataloging them, but I just want to see another opinion.

Thanks,

It is a well-known story in many versions.  I think Nathan Ausebel's  *A

a version.

[ha-Safran] Website for Israeli public affairs website

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Safaranim:

I just became aware of this website.  They have many free e-books on
Israeli security, political history, diplomacy, and Israeli public
figures.The publications are free and available in both Hebrew and
English.  None of the e-books seem to be in WorldCat.  I cataloged the
website and you are free to copy my cataloging.

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs : Israeli security, regional diplomacy,
and international law.

[ha-Safran] Hello Academic Librarians in Israel

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Shalom,

I am visiting Israel for two weeks starting Dec 30.  I would love to visit
some academic libraries to learn and share what we do in academia.  I am
already planning a visit to the Unversity of Haifa.  I have a special
inerest in Hebrew cataloging of hard to catalog materials.  I have two
research projects in mind that I may work on in Israel that are not library
releated.

Let me know if we can meet.

Donnie

[ha-Safran] Conventions or conferences in Israel

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Hello Israeli safranim,

I want to go to Israel for winter vacation.  Are there any library of
academic conventions or conferences that I could attend?  The only ones I
found were medical conferences and I'm not a physician.

Thanks,

DS

[ha-Safran] Electronic subscriptions

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

Does anyone have an electronic subscription for the library to Forward or
HaAfetz?  So far the representatives I have dealt with seem to never heard
of a library wanting to subscribe.
