I've noticed a few self-introduction posts, so here's mine. I am a Hebraica-Judaica cataloging librarian. I've cataloged newly published books and quite a number of 15th century books. I've also cataloged maps, manuscripts, and games. I will post material related to Hebrew books and cataloging. 1/n

The JTS #Hebrewmss exhibit at the #GrolierClub is amazing!!I was there on opening night and was blown away by the items exhibited. If you are in NYC, please plan to stop by. You will not be disappointed. I plan a revisit.
Just FYI- whether for ch"m trip planning purposes or any others, know that the Grolier Club/JTS manuscript exhibit is one of the coolest things I have ever gotten to see, whether on my lunch break or at any other time. Thanks @mmargolis.bsky.social for the tip- everyone should go (& it's free)!
