Whether you are a new Judaica librarian,or a veteran of the profession, this year's AJL Conference has a full range of inspiring and educational programming to appeal to you. The Sydney Taylor award winners will be present at the popular sessions featuring the current crop of stellar offerings for the year. Best practices, innovative progamming in your library, emergency preparedness, genealogy reference instruction, technology and ebooks updates will be discussed, and the question of "what to do with the books"will be addressed. The Jews of Texas will be explored in sessions on the history, personal tales and tours of Houston. Updates from the National Library of Israel and Library of Congress will be offered, plus presentations to appeal to the RAS members. Vendors will be offering insights into their products, and of course a range of exhibitors will offer opportunities for the attendees. This year's conference promises to be the best yet, plus the city of Houston offers what the New York Times described "Making Houston a Dining Destination" because of the superior culinary attractions. And come get a first look at "Deli Man", the documentary, attended by the filmmaker Erik Anjou and the star of the film, Houston's own Deli Man, Ziggy Gruber. Anjou produced two other Jewish-themed films, "A Cantor's Tale" and "The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground." Be sure to take advantage of the early registration discount before April 16th.
