[ha-Safran] AJL Roundtable: Managing Judaica Among Multiple Subject Areas
Dear all, In case you have not seen this. *AJL Roundtable: … and Jewish Studies Librarian: Managing Judaica Among Multiple Subject Areas* Wednesday, January 10, 2024 9:00 am PT / noon ET / 7:00 pm Israel Time This roundtable is an opportunity for “community of practice” discussions among librarians, with Judaica as one of multiple subject areas under their responsibilities. Many of us become Judaica librarians by accident, coming from different disciplines and being asked by our administration to do this work for various reasons. When this happens, many librarians have to find their way into the profession of Judaica librarianship, not realizing all that goes into this field. At the same time, most of us are working in the field with Judaica as one of the multiple areas of responsibility, juggling numerous subject areas and other duties, often entirely unrelated to Judaica librarianship. This could be overwhelming, leading to professional self-doubt about whether we are as good as we should be. Although we all end up loving what we do, we have to cope with this often entirely on our own, including, for example, figuring out where to ask questions and get professional advice. We all have been there, and it is still a prevalent practice in many libraries. Please join our panelists, Guy Burak (NYU), Rachel Leket-Mor (ASU), Neil Frau-Cortes (Broward County Library system), and David Hollander (Princeton), moderated by Yelena Luckert (UMD). This session is sponsored by AJL’s RAS Division and is for AJL members only. All members are welcome.

[ha-Safran] "The Prophet" by Ilan Rubin Fields

I can't find a commercial distributor that sells it.

I fully agree with Jackie. Don't touch the materials before you talk to an expert, and make sure you are masked and have gloves when handling them.

His forthcoming book, *Dear Palestine: A Social History* of the 1948 War (Stanford University Press) recasts the 1948 war in Palestine through a socio-cultural history of the conflict’s ordinary actors and its transnational reverberations.

Re: [ha-Safran] streaming films through the Kanopy website
Kanopy is very expensive and it is probably better for the mainstream type of things. I did not rely on it for Jewish/Israel Studies that much. Our film studies faculty come from a multitude of departments, disciplines, and programs and use both documentaries and motion pictures. We used to subscribe but had to cancel their services because of the cost. The decision to subscribe to it was not well-vetted in the first place. When we canceled - it created a lot of issues with confusion, access, etc. Yelena Luckert Director of Research, Teaching & Learning Librarian for Jewish and Slavic Studies University of Maryland Libraries College Park, MD 20742 Phone: 301-405-9365 Fax: 301-405-9191 yluck...@umd.edu Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and to protect community health and safety, the Libraries is utilizing teleworking tools.

The resource presents materials from the victims’ perspective, which is often belied or ignored. Explore a diary, wartime letter, historical film footage, testimony, poetry, photography, and many more. Please note that more content will be added to the site in mid- December, prior to the start of the new term. Create an account, save materials for your class to examine together, explore topics through tags, or explore thematic collections of sources. Your students can create their own accounts and join your class in order to see materials that you may have saved.

[ha-Safran] Call for chapter proposals
Dear friends, I am sending this proposal on behalf of myself and my co-editor. We will be extremely happy if the book contains some chapters that highlight Judaica/Hebraica librarianship in the US: collection building, services, information literacy, relations to campus and local communities, etc. You can talk about achievements, challenges, directions, thoughts, reflections. If you have any questions, please let me know. I am really looking forward to hearing from you. Yelena *Call for Chapter Proposals* *The Globalized Library: American Academic Libraries and International Students, Collections and Practices (working title)* Editors – Yelena Luckert & Lindsay Inge For publication with ACRL Press Proposal submission deadline: *December 1, 2016*. Send Proposals to: https://libumd.wufoo.com/forms/qco1z950z0rjl0/ or to yluck...@umd.edu and/or li...@umd.edu. Editors Yelena Luckert and Lindsay Inge invite the submission of chapter proposals for a book on international aspects of American libraries. When reflecting on libraries in the United States, we almost never think of them as being international in nature. We view them as an “American” institution, serving our “American” patrons and our “American” organizations. Yet, libraries in America are international to their core. The book’s primary focus is to take a sort of inventory of what has been done recently in the field of international librarianship in US institutions, inspire more libraries and librarians to do this work, and spark imagination to develop new things. We are open to studies that branch away from higher education or topics outlined below as long as they focus on globalization and international librarianship. New and completed research and case studies are welcome, provided any new studies can be completed within the timeline explained below. Chapters based on completed research must not be previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. We are seeking proposals for the topics described below. However, we will consider other topics provided they are within the spirit of the book and will add another dimension to the overall discussion: ·Collection development -Building general collections of area studies based on foreign acquisitions (approval plans, cataloging, readership, etc.). -Building special/archival collections of foreign materials. -International digitization projects. ·Teaching -Information literacy for international students on American campuses. -Integration of international students into American college culture and environment. -Developing new librarians: teaching global issues through examples in US library and information programs. ·Library partnership programs -Sister library program. -International cooperation. -International assistance. -Readership programs like American Corner. -Unique partnerships and agreements. ·Professional development of librarians -Participation in international conferences -Exchanges of library professionals (skills, experience, knowledge) -Employment abroad for American librarians -Pen pal program Submission procedure: Please submit chapter proposals of up to 500 words, a short author’s statement, and a writing sample, to https://libumd.wufoo.com/forms/qco1z950z0rjl0/ by *December 1, 2016*. You can also choose to send your proposal to yluck...@umd.edu and/or li...@umd.edu by December 1, 2016. If you are proposing new, uncompleted research, please provide a tentative timeline that includes a date for completion, evidence of institutional approval, if appropriate, as well as any additional dates you think are relevant. Authors will be notified of acceptance before February 1, 2016. If there are multiple authors for a chapter, please submit author statements for each author and at least one writing sample - it is optional to provide multiple writing samples (i.e. not all co-authors have to submit writing samples, but if you feel it best represents your team to submit more than one, please do.) Note: This initial stage requires a 500-word description, so just planning out your article now is fine. Final manuscripts of between 1500 and 5000 words will be due *July 1, 2017*, with drafts and edits staggered throughout the year as best fits the schedules of the author(s) and editors.

However, a library represents first and foremost the literature, not the author. Let's look at it from a different perspective.

According to the author herself, the Jewish content is minimal. However, she also wrote an earlier book, based on The Merchant of Venice called The Turquoise Ring, which is primarily Jewish. I'm considering inviting her to speak, but one member of my library committee suggested that, as a Jewish institution, it would be best to support Jewish authors exclusively. Such a thing never occurred to me; to me, as long as the scholarship and perspective is sound, then the author should have something of great value to impart.

It covers: · Goals and methods of acquiring monographs and serials in all formats; · Theoretical foundations and workflows of basic acquisitions functions; · Financial management of library collections budgets; · Relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. This course provides a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. In FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. In many libraries, selecting and acquiring materials may be done in the same department—in the smallest libraries perhaps even by the same person. In larger libraries, selection may be done by a collection development department and/or designated subject specialists, while a separate department acquires the selected materials. In essence, acquisitions is a business operation, bringing materials into the library and licensing access to library collections and resources. Who should attend: As a fundamentals course, FOA is tailored for librarians and paraprofessionals new to the acquisitions field; and librarians and support staff from other library units and library school or LSSC students who want to know more about acquisitions. Although FOA focuses on the acquisition of monographs in various physical formats, it covers key components of acquisition and licensing processes for all library materials, in all formats, in all types of libraries. This course is one-third of the Collection Management Elective course approved by the Library Support Staff Certification Program (LSSCP).

[ha-Safran] Hebrew language discussion group.
Dear all, I am writing to you in my role of the Chair of the Librarianship and Education Committee. The Librarianship and Education Committee, as one of our initiatives this year, is trying to form a Hebrew Language Discussion Group/s as a way for our membership to improve our collective Hebrew comprehension, something we feel is crucial in our profession. The idea is to put together a small Hebrew language discussion group/s via Skype led by native Hebrew speakers from our membership. This won't be a class, so no home work will be given and no preparation is needed on the part of the moderators, although moderators might post a topic for discussion for each meeting. It will be a chance for people to practice their spoken Hebrew, while moderators could assist with the language, correct mistakes, lead the discussion, etc. There will not be any cost involved. The number of groups will depend on the demand and willingness of moderators. If you are a native Hebrew speaker and are interested in moderating please let me know. If you are interested to be a participant in such a discussion please let me know. This activity is design for members only. Once we know the number of moderators and participants we will be able to determine the number of such groups, time and frequency of meetings. This is a really interesting idea (kudos go to Daniel Scheide for it). AJL to my knowledge has never tried such an activity, and its success and failure will be determine by the participation. Please respond to me directly. It would be helpful if besides your name and contact information you could indicate which part of the country you are in, so we can figure out the timing for all time zones. Thank you all very much for your kind attention. I am looking forward to getting many messages.

[ha-Safran] FW: Univ of MD library class Study Abroad in St Petersburg Russia
Dear all, Please forward this announcement to those who might be interested in taking this class. Although it is not Judaica related, I am aware that a number of us have colleagues who might be interested. If this works, next time we will try to do something related to Jewish treasures in St. Petersburg and maybe even Moscow libraries and archives :-).Thank you. ___ STUDY ABROAD IN ST. PETERSGURG: REGISTRATION OPENING SOON! The University of Maryland's iSchool is pleased to announce "Libraries and Cultural Heritage Institutions of St. Petersburg, Russia," May 25-June 8, 2012. The two-week course will explore unique and innovative libraries and information services in modern Russia in their historical and cultural context. The course will be offered during the festive and magical White Nights season, when the sun hardly sets and it never gets quite dark. Currently celebrating its 300-year anniversary, the magnificent city of St. Petersburg is today Russia's cultural capital. Shaped by imperial, Russian and Soviet influences, its rich heritage offerings are beautifully preserved. Students will take private tours and attend lectures at major institutions, including Peterhof, the Hermitage, Pushkin (Czar's Village), Pushinskii Dom (one of the most important literary archives of Russia), the Library of the Academy of Sciences of Russia, the National Library of Russia, Mayakovskii Public Library, and other sites of cultural and national importance. American students will meet with Russian library school students from St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts to discuss technical, socio-cultural, and legal/regulatory information access issues in the United States and Russia, highlighting the similarities and differences. Russia is a major player on the world stage-politically, economically, and culturally. It is a country of contrasts. Through this course, students will see firsthand how Russia, a formerly communist state, is opening up and transforming access to information. The main learning goal is appreciation of major Russian libraries and cultural heritage institutions, from both an historical and modern day perspective. The course will help prepare students for careers as information specialists working in a variety of libraries and information centers serving international patrons, working in international organizations, or working in other countries. The teaching team will be led by Dr. Trudi Bellardo Hahn, Professor of the Practice at the iSchool, Yelena Luckert and Lily Griner, subject specialists at the University of Maryland Libraries and fluent in Russian. DATES: May 25 to June 8, 2012. Students will meet as a group at the University of Maryland on May 25 and 26 and leave for Russia on May 27. COSTS (TENTATIVE): The student fee will be about $3,300 (it will be finalized when the registration opens in mid-December), which includes accommodations, all breakfasts and 5 dinners, some transportation within and around St. Petersburg, registration fees for all course-related activities, and insurance. It does not include airfare to and from the United States nor the cost of obtaining a visa. The 3-credit course is open to students at the iSchool at Maryland as well as students from similar master's programs in the U.S. Practicing librarians who are not taking the course for credit may also apply and will be admitted on a space available basis. Registration will be open, with more specific information about costs and itinerary, by mid-December 2011. Registration will close March 15, 2012, or as soon as the course is filled. Questions?
