AJL Classroom: Introduction to Elazar for Synagogue Libraries Mondays, January 10, 17, and 24, 2022 4:30PM PT / 7:30PM ET (90 minutes) $150 nonmembers / $75 members Instructor: Marcie Eskin
Organizing a synagogue’s collection is crucial to maintaining a library rather than a “room full of books.” This three-session course will provide synagogue librarians and volunteers with tools to catalog and classify their Judaica, focusing on the Elazar Classification System, one option for smaller libraries. We’ll also share our experiences with cataloging and with automation systems and work together to tackle challenging classification questions. As librarian at Beth Hillel Bnai Emunah in Wilmette, Illinois, and North Suburban Synagogue Beth El in Highland Park, Illinois, instructor Marcie Eskin has been cataloging adult and children’s materials in synagogue libraries for more than twenty years. A past president of AJL’s Chicago chapter, Marcie is a member of AJL’s conference planning committee, serving as conference registrar since 2015. Marcie holds a BA in government from Cornell University and a master’s degree in library and information science from Dominican University.
