Cultural challenges of the Israeli library - case study of the Bloomfield Library

Abstract

The State of Israel is characterized by a rich tapestry of cultures, ethnicities, and religious affiliations. This multifaceted landscape, combined with a complex political environment, poses significant challenges in higher education. Academic libraries in Israel face considerable obsta cles in ensuring equitable access to knowledge resources for all interested users. This article explores the challenges encountered by libraries in Israel. The material was gathered during the International Week held at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in November 2022. A substantial portion of the statistical data is drawn from presentations delivered by library staff members during their lectures. The aim of this article is to present a cross-section of the student body and to highlight the initiatives undertaken by the Bloomfield Library, in collaboration with the university, to fulfil its mission as effectively as possible.
