Re: [ha-Safran] I'm retiring!

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

Ann,

Thank you for everything that you did for the New England chapter over the 
years, for keeping the group together, running our yearly meetings, and for 
running our conference in Cambridge. It's been great working with you over the 
years. I hope you enjoy the next stage of your working life. Looking forward to 
run into you at some concerts.

Shabbat shalom,

Harvey

Dear safranim,

I wanted to share the news with you that after 39 years, I've decided to retire 
as the Librarian of Temple Israel, Boston,  on June 21, 2024.

(I know - some of you are thinking -- wait, didn't she retire already?  That's 
ok if you're thinking that -  you're not alone!  )

As you can imagine, this is a mixed decision for me, as I have loved my job, 
and everything that came with it.   I have been very fortunate to have had this 
fun, enriching,  purposeful career, and you were an important part of why it 
was so fun, enriching and purposeful!  And, often, you made me look very good 
when I needed help with a research request and you came to the rescue!

And, it is time to move on.

And in response to the question I often get, "So, what are you going to do, 
now?"

I've also been fortunate in that I've been teaching English to adult immigrants 
and other English learners for six years, and will teach full-time, starting in 
the fall.  I have loved this work - especially the students -  and it's been a 
gift to learn a new skill at this time of life.  So, although I'll greatly miss 
my work as a librarian, I feel lucky to have a fairly soft landing as 
retirements go.

I want to say thank you to all of you for your many years of collegiality, and 
wonderful times at conferences!   I have learned so much from you, and, as a 
solo librarian like many of us are, I never felt alone with AJL in the wings.

And, for anyone in the Boston area, if you're interested in coming to a Friday 
night service on June 21 where I'll have the opportunity to thank the 
congregation for this wonderful career, please let me know and I'll send you 
the details.  (It will also be zoomed).

Wishing you all a Shabbat filled with Shalom,

Ann

[ha-Safran] looking for article from American Jewish Year Book

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

I would like to get a scan if possible, of chapter 3, Jewish Museums, by 
Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, in the American Jewish Yearbook of 2020. It does 
not seem to be in the JSTOR version of the Yearbook, but it appears in the 
table of contents of the print edition listed by various used book dealers 
online.

Thanks,

Norm's books should be in every Judaica library. As the lovely obit says, he 
filled in lots of the gaps in Jewish history (especially Jewish) for older 
children and teens. I hadn't heard about his book on Cahan and the Forward, but 
now I'm very much looking forward to it.

He attended at least a few of our conferences over the years. I think he was a

I was saddened when I heard the news of the death of Norman H. Finkelstein.

I want to repeat Ann Abrams comment that Norman was a mensch.

 Norman had been a librarian in the Brookline public school system and for 38 
years taught at the Prozdor high school program at Hebrew College. He also 
worked and taught at Camp Yavneh in the summers.

At Prozdor Norman taught courses on Jewish history. One of his most popular 
courses was on Jewish criminals.

Norman used the Hebrew College Library extensively for researching his many 
books.  He was also one of the Prozdor teachers who insisted that his classes 
learn how to use the library and make use of it for their studies.

I enjoyed kibbitzing with Norman. He always had a story and a smile. His books 
covered a wide range of topics, things he was curious about. I also frequently 
ran into him and his wife Rosalind at movies, concerts, and lectures. The last 
time I had seen him he had told me about the two books he had in the press, on 
the Yiddish Forward editor Abe Cahan, and a history of antisemitism. I had just 
recently heard from his brother-in-law that he was exploring ideas for his next 
book.

Although I haven't been in touch with Norm for many years, I have many fond 
memories of him.

In the late 1980's, when I was looking around the Boston area for people to 
help me figure out what kind of software product to purchase to automate my 
library's collection, Norm graciously invited me to his school library, and 
demonstrated the program he was using.  (I ended up choosing that product, and 
was, and still am, very happy with it.)

In 2006, when the New England Chapter of AJL (NEAJL) hosted AJL's annual 
conference in Cambridge,  Norm was on the planning committee and it was an 
honor and a pleasure to work with him.

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

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

Dan Cohen, Vice Provost for Information Collaboration, Dean of the Libraries, 
at Northeastern University, who was the keynote speaker at the AJL Conference 
in Boston in 2018, wrote an article in the Atlantic in 2019 that got a lot of 
attention, "The Books of College Libraries Are Turning Into Wallpaper". He 
argued that print circulation in academic libraries throughout the country was 
crashing.
I don't know if that is the same for synagogue and temple libraries.
I know that is the case for the Hebrew College Library. We went from 
circulating about 15,000 books a year in Brookline in the 1980's down to about 
600 print books circulated this past fiscal year.
It was hard justifying keeping the print collection that we had when it was not 
being used.

filled two rooms with over 7,000 volumes has been unavailable to us from the

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

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

Michelle,

I don't know the ReSourceMate catalog program. Is there a way you can remove 
the catalog records of the books you are not keeping in a batch process, and 
not have to do so one by one? Are there barcodes on the books that you can scan 
into a file and then upload them to the library system to delete those records?

Hebrew College moved to a new campus in January, a smaller campus. We went from 
what had been a few years ago a 90,000-volume library down to about 14,000 
volumes. Preparing for the move we had selected the books we are keeping by 
putting colored stickers on the books.
I hired some teenagers scan the barcodes for those books we had selected to 
keep into a number of files, and I changed the holding records for the books we 
are keeping to a new collection in the library system using a batch program. I 
was then going to delete all of the remaining records in the old collection 
with another batch program.
During the move we were told by the movers that we had packed more books than 
we had room for. I knew that beforehand but was told we could bring them over 
to the new building and deal with weeding more out later. We had no space in 
the new building to store the books so the last two days of the move we were 
told we had to pull out an additional 4-5000 books. Those included books that 
had the holding records already changed to the new collection.
I am now in the processing of scanning again all of the barcodes of the books 
that we kept for the library and again changing the holding records to our new 
collection. I will then use a batch process to remove the 50-60,000 records 
from catalog that are in the old collection that are no longer here. By the end 
of the summer, I should be finished.

A student is looking for the editorial from the March 1967 volume of The Jewish 
Spectator by Trude Weiss-Rosmarin. It is an attack on Zalman Schacter about use 
of LSD. I struck out with my local ILL office. It anyone can provide a scan it 
would be appreciated. I don't have the page number, but I believe it is in vol. 
32.

Heidi did a great job arguing for the multi-cultural content of Jewish

I totally agree with you, Emily, and really appreciate all the effort that you 
put into getting Heidi, and thus AJL, onto the ALA Ethnic and Multicultural 
Information Exchange Round Table session, “EMIERT Chair’s Program Promoting 
Multicultural Library Services in Virtual Spaces,” which took place this 
morning at ALA Virtual.

All three participants, Heidi; K.C. Boyd, Library Media Specialist at Jefferson 
Academy in the Washington, DC Public School system;  and Andrea Jamison, 
Librarian and Lecturer at Valparaiso University (Indiana) and 
Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect of EMIERT, articulated their jobs, patron base, 
collections, charges, and challenges really well.  While representing “just” 
two ethnic communities (on the surface), Jewish and African-American, they 
demonstrated the diversity and multiculturalism of both and how meaningful 
their work and the resources that they highlighted are. What they do is 
beneficial to all of their users, internal and external.  Andrea, while serving 
as the moderator, contributed much to the discussion, not only with her 
questions but contributions to the conversation.  A really good session.

And Heidi proved once again why she is not only a Jewish kidlit meyven, but so 
knowledgeable way beyond her “bailiwick!”

Great job!  Yasher-koyekh and kol ha-kavod on your fabulous presentation, 
Heidi, and Emily for making sure it happened!

See you all next week!

I just watched Heidi present with K.C. Boyd at the EMIERT Chair's Program 
Promoting Multicultural Library Services in Virtual Spaces at the ALA digital 
conference.  It was a great presentation, and the comments in the Q space 
were very positive.  EMIERT is planning to make the presentation available on 
their website, so I will send the link so everyone can see it.

How did this happen?  I pushed to be on the EMIERT Program Committee.  The 
Chair's Program was already set and was to be a very theoretical program about 
ethnic materials.  When everything changed, the in-person program wouldn't work 
online, and the committee had to come up with a new program quickly, I 
suggested Heidi to join a DC school librarian to talk about this topic, and we 
are so lucky she agreed.

I can't tell you how happy I am with how the program turned out.  It really 
brought out the diversity of materials to have speakers from such different 
backgrounds.

Thank you, Heidi, for stepping up and preparing for this program on short 
notice that will reach a broad audience.  You are a superstar.

One of our faculty is looking for the following publication:

I realize this might be difficult to find since most libraries are closed

Sherry,


Thanks. And thanks to OPALS.   I didn't realize that was an option in OPALS.  I 
just checked and found the 586 drop-down list.  This will save time in the 
future.

“bibliographic indexing project covering articles from Hebrew periodicals and

Re: [ha-Safran] How do small libraries handle the Bar Ilan Judaic Library on USB?

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

Given the price we have it installed on one computer in the library.  We keep 
the USB with our reference CD-Roms and DVDS  and have patrons check out the USB 
to use on that computer.

Shalom amazing safranim,

How do small libraries handle the Bar Ilan Judaic Library on USB?

Do you keep it on one computer only, or do you allow it to circulate?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [ha-Safran] Upcoming retirement

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

While I've personally sent my wishes to Jim, I want to thank him for a few more 
things.  I first met Jim when I started as a grad student in Jewish history at 
Brandeis 42 years ago.  He was always helpful in my years of grad school with 
his amazing bibliographic knowledge.  I worked for 2 years in his office as a 
grad student quick cataloging Hebrew books and he was a great teacher and 
supervisor.  Jim, along with Ann Abrams, has been the main force behind the 
annual meetings of the New England Jewish Librarians.  I worked on two Boston 
AJL conferences with Jim and his attentions to details is amazing.  He has 
always been willing to provide advice when I've sought his advice on issues at 
the Hebrew College Library.  He most recently agreed to be a consultant as 
Hebrew College plans for a library of the future when we move to a new building 
in a few years.  I will try not to cut too much into his retirement reading time

Dear friends and colleagues --  I will be retiring after 43 years at Brandeis. 
Monday will be my last day at work. I've enjoyed my years of involvement with 
AJL and my interactions with many of you. I do not plan to attend future 
conferences, but will remain a member. I will always be happy to assist AJL in

I will be keeping my Brandeis email address, and my phone numbers are listed on

Re: [ha-Safran] Seeking a tikun

The Simonim edition of the Tikun Korim is one of the best print editions.  It 
comes in many sizes.  You can find it at many bookstores and from online 
bookstores
Tikun Korim Large: Simanim - Nussach Ashkenaz (Hebrew)

I don’t have a smart phone but there seem to be a lot of apps for a Tikun Korim
