I contacted IFLA. The following is the reply I received. It seems as though their Israeli data partner has not provided them with data. I suggested that she use the Israeli Library Association (ASMI) as a data partner.
David Elazar [email protected] Dear David, Thank you very much for reaching out to us with your message. My name is Kristine Paberza. I'm coordinating the Library Map of the World project. Regards to your comments, I'd like to let you know that we are working with data partners separately in each country/area. In Israel our data partner is at the University of Haifa, who is now coordinating data collection from other libraries/library types to enrich the data available about libraries in Israel of the Library Map of the World. It is just a beginning of the project that will evolve during the upcoming years. We publish online data that our data partners give a permission to and update accordingly as they submit more data. Regards to geographies. The naming and listing of countries and areas included in the Library Map of the World is based on definitions used by United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). For statistical purposes we are using the UNSD Methodology on Standard country or area codes for statistical use (M49). Learn more here: https://librarymap.ifla.org/data-glossary/geo I'm happy to discuss more. Best wishes, Kristine Paberza IFLA Member Engagement Officer [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> +31703140884 www.ifla.org <http://www.ifla.org>
