[ha-Safran]: The Other "Zionists" - Understand NOT Support (Dec 4th)
If the moderator's reason for not continuing this thread is to prevent political discussions on Hasafran, then I agree. But in this case, I believe it is a question of acquisition policy - what types of material a Jewish library should purchase. Should anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, or anti-Israel materials be purchased with our limited budgets and, if yes, how should they be handled (open/closed shelves, etc.) This important matter should be open to discussion and I personally would be interested in the opinions of other librarians. It is similar to the question as to whether libraries should purchase racist or pornographic material and how should it be handled. Since there is so much "anti" material available on the market, this is an important issue for Jewish librarianship.
