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

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

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

[Sally Stieglitz via Hasafran]

Good morning,
I attended ALA Virtual as well.  I enjoyed most of the sessions.  I found I
preferred live sessions over recorded events, even though they didn’t
support q/a (which would have been better).  I imagine that’s a
psychological difference, but it felt more connected for me.
I also had zoom fatigue, generally at session 3.  Virtual events are
exhausting.

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

[Haim A Gottschalk via Hasafran]

 I "attended" ALA this year. Part of the time I had to work out a schedule 
around AJL. For the most part, I liked the presentations. I found them no less 
no more inspiring then last year. I do miss the in-person sessions, but was 
grateful for this opportunity. Unfortunately I missed Heidi's session, as I was 
on my to LC.

getting Heidi, and thus AJL, onto the ALA Ethnic and Multicultural Information 
Exchange Round Table session, “EMIERT Chair’s Program Promoting Multicultural

Virtual.
All three participants, Heidi; K.C. Boyd, Library Media Specialist at Jefferson

Librarian and Lecturer at Valparaiso University (Indiana) and 
Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect of EMIERT, articulated their jobs, patron base,

two ethnic communities (on the surface), Jewish and African-American, they 
demonstrated the diversity and multiculturalism of both and how meaningful

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.

knowledgeable way beyond her “bailiwick!”

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?

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

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

Heidi did a great job arguing for the multi-cultural content of Jewish 
literature. She also did a great job of highlighting the AJL, the AJL website 
and its resources, other Jewish resources, as well as her own blog.

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 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.
