Multilingual and Multiscript Subject Access: the Case of Israel

.
IFLA Council and General Conference, (2000)

Abstract

Israel is an extreme case of a multilanguage and multiscript environment. Several different library approaches have evolved to enable subject access to materials in different languages and scripts. The use of subject headings and word searching, primarily in English, seems to be the prevalent trend in academic libraries while public libraries are just beginning to evolve from classified catalogues to Hebrew language subject headings.
