Interesting. It seems that the map is populated only by "Contributors [map represents all organizations] that have shared library performance metrics or SDG stories with us, such as national library associations, national libraries, individual libraries, and library support organizations." - click on the Contributors tab. So it seems to me that only the University of Haifa library took the time to contribute their data, while the Palestinians did a better job and their contributor (Palestinian libraries and Information Association) sent a comprehensive list of 101 libraries... :) Maybe someone at the National Library of Israel or ASMI (the Israeli librarians organization) would pick this up.

(In contrast, Palestine is recorded as having 101 libraries.) I emailed IFLA with a correction (via this form: https://www.ifla.org/contact/IFLA) but have not heard back from them. Perhaps some of you, especially the ones in Israel, would be able to give them more information? I certainly hope this was an oversight and would appreciate the backup from the rest of you! Thanks, Leah (LIS student)
