New JCO Uhrarian Begins Reorganization of Library Omaha—The recent appointment of Mrs. Martin Wolf as Librarian for the Jewish Community C e n t e r Library has been announced by M o r r i s Hoffman, Chairman of the Li. brary Committee. " . ' Hoffman termed Mrs. Wolf's appointment "a real high spot ' In the year, because she is not ;.pnly qualified as a librarian, - but is also familiar with Judaic Libraries. She is precisely what we were looking for, and we ; are fortunate to have her in Omaha." Martin and Edythe ' moved to Omaha when Dr. Wolf was appointed vice-presi, dent of Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Jowa. Mrs. Wolf is the first professional librarian to be hired for that position at the Center. She previously served as"Ii» brarian for the Michigan State . University acquisitions depart. ment and the Temple B'nai Israel Synagogue Library in SagInaw, Michigan. A native of Philadelphia, Mrs. Wolf attended Temple University in Philadelphia and received her Masters Degree in Library Sci- enco from Columbia University in New York. . - Hoffman said that "part of the rationale behind appoint-
ing a professional librarian was the real need for classifying and cataloging the Library. As far as the collection is concerned, the Omaha Jewish Community Center -Library is nationally unique, but it has never been adequately classified or catalogued. Mrs. Wolf's job is to prepare for the move vto the new Jewish Community Center. Mr. Ted Newman, of the Omaha Public Library, has estimated this to be a 2-year job." * ~ Library Closed for Summer "Although a very good start has been made," Mr. Hoffman said, "the Library Is now closed and will remain closed until. August 15 in order to proceed with the cataloging." Out of an estimated 15,000 books in the Library, 1,100 volumes have already, been catalogued. The Weine Classification System, a modification of the Dewey Decimal System specfically for Judaic Libraries, is being used. Mrs. Wolf said the Omaha JCC Library is "undoubtedly one of the finest collections of Judaic literature in the country. We have excellent collections on comparative religion, Jerusalem, Israeli Art, Biblical Att, and many more topics."
