Banford, Jacqueline (2019). Towards digital literacy - Makerspaces in the public libraries of Berlin-Mitte: Poster presented at IFLA WLIC 2019, Athens, Greece.
Makerspaces have permeated public libraries for a few years now -- a trend that has been fundamental to encouraging community building and enabling technical and practical education for all. The public libraries in the Central district of Berlin are embracing this important means of training by not only offering two permanent Makerspaces in two of their branches, but also by introducing a mobile MakerBus which will bring different formats to the community where needed. This new expanded service will serve our users in different ways: one Makerspace will focus further on digital skills by offering drone building classes, 3D printing and robotics; the second one will focus on more manual competences like sewing, stitching and hand-lettering but also embrace technology by offering a low-level introduction to photo and film making. The MakerBus will combine the best of both Makerspaces, offering modules in 3D printing, programming, sewing, and on top a small mobile workshop for fixing bikes and small electrical items, encouraging responsible consumption and less waste. We truly believe that by investing in and expanding these services, the Central district of Berlin will present its library users with the best in digital literacy education resting on three solid pillars of learning.

This article is a compilation of staff ideas about possible items to weave into the Worthington, Ohio, Public Library's 2010--2012 Strategic Plan. This ``Trend Tracking'' is accomplished in seven policy areas: (1) Early childhood literacy, (2) future role of libraries, (3) sustainability/green initiatives, (4) staff development, (5) fund-raising, (6) programming and outreach, and (7) other. Staff consulted a variety of periodicals, Web sites, and library literature to assess four elements of their suggested trend: (1) application to Worthington Libraries, (2) impact on patrons, (3) impact on staff, and (4) relevant Web site or bibliographic links that served as the source or enrichment of the suggestion. This article provides library professionals with a rare opportunity to observe the internal thinking of a library workgroup other than their own.
Trojok, Antonia; Hauke, Petra (2018). Transform libraries – transform societies: Go green: Poster presented at IFLA WLIC 2018, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Following the current IFLA Conference motto “Transform Libraries – Transform Societies,” the poster “Transform Libraries – Transform Societies: Go Green” wants to raise awareness for libraries that follow the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Made by LIS students in a project seminar at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, it advertises an invitation to become a member of ENSULIB, one of IFLA’s SIG. The poster’s main focus, however, is the question of what a Green Library is and why sustainability is so important in modern society. It will introduce different concepts that can transform libraries and will also provide examples for a green environment that can be discussed by visitors. These, in addition to the self-evident need for Green Libraries, should engage people in conversation. Various icons and pictures will underline the aforementioned main points and liven up the DIN A0 poster. Speech bubbles will indicate statements with topics for further discussion. Because the poster will only include a brief overview of ENSULIB, the group’s website can be reached via QR-Code to provide more information. Furthermore, ENSULIB’s brand-new book project, to be published in the IFLA Publication Series, will be presented through flyers: textquotedblGoing Green: Implementing Sustainable Strategies in Libraries around the worldtextquotedbl.

Triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability is a framework that expands the realm of sustainability beyond the environmental to incorporate economic and social aspects. Let's face it---a library that is doing everything right by the environment but cannot afford to keep the doors open or pay its staff is not exactly sustainable.

Urban Gardening ist mehr als ein Trend; Neben der Nutzung von privaten oder städtischen Flächen für den Anbau von Nahrungsmitteln steht mit der Gründung von Gemeinschaftsgärten auch eine neue Form des gemeinsamen Lernens und Experimentierens im Mittelplpunkt - ein spannender Ansatz für Bibliotheken.

Urban Gardening ist mehr als ein Trend. Öffentliche Bibliotheken sollten sich diesem in der Suche nach einem neuen Selbstverständnis und ihrer Rolle in einer digitalen Gesellschaft nicht verschließen. In der Stadtbibliothek Bad Oldesloe wurde eine ganze Veranstaltungsreihe rund um dieses Thema organisiert und in Form eines Makerspaces mit modernen Formen des gemeinschaftlichen Lernens verknüpft. So konnte sich die Stadtbibliothek als moderner und innovativer Lernort positionieren und neue Initiativen in der Stadt anstoßen. Urban Gardening is more than a trend. Public Libraries should not ignore this in their search for a new understanding and their role in the digital age. The Public Library of Bad Oldesloe created a series of events around that topic and combined it with a makerspace with new forms of learning in communities. By that, the Public Library presented itself as an innovative learning space and helped to engage some initiatives in the city itself.

Xu, Hong (2016). Using library and information technologies and resources to support sustainability projects: Paper presented at IFLA WLIC 2016, Columbus, OH.
This is a case study about how libraries and librarians participate in a sustainability research project, and use Library and Information technologies and Resources to support the project. The Research Coordination Network for Climate, Energy, Environment and Engagement in Semiarid Regions (RCN CE3SAR) – is a NSF funded South Texas sustainability project. RCN CE3SAR’s goal is to develop an innovative model for conducting interdisciplinary, region-specific, sustainability research closely tied to the needs of highly-engaged local stakeholders. A project librarian collaborates with Texas Digital Library and Mary and Jeff Bell Library provides services to RCN CE3SAR project from the following aspects. 1. Building an innovative information platform to support the collaboration and outreach for RCN CE3SAR network institutions and members. The platform integrated serials of information technologies such as project web presence, project management system, digital repository, virtual communication system, conference management system, and wiki. 2. Supporting sustainability research by data management, bibliography, and information retrieval services.3. Supporting sustainability education by developing a learning object repository to manage and provide open access to sustainability learning objects produced via the project. 4. Promoting sustainability practices. For example, providing technology support for using WebEx as an online conference tool for RCN CE3SAR meetings so that to reduce gas emissions from transportation; using “Save A Tree” as a slogan to encourage RCN CE3SAR institutions and members to save and recycle papers; and advertising campus sustainability innovations and practices.

Bibliotheken sind wohl ein frühes Beispiel für die Sharing Economy. Durch den kollektiven Erwerb von Büchern (entweder durch Subskriptionen im Fall von privaten Bibliotheken oder in öffentlichen Bibliotheken durch Abgaben) haben sie einen großartigen Weg gezeigt, maximalen Zugang zu gewährleisten und gleichzeitig den Konsum zu reduzieren.

Crafts: the backbone of children's events everywhere. There's nothing quite like gluing pipe cleaners and pompoms, cutting paper and coloring, wrapping and taping, painstakingly creating ... and then throwing these masterpieces in the trash.

Libraries exist in every kind of neighborhood; they already serve as community hubs; they're often supported by Friends groups; they have existing resources (nature books); they're often more flexible than schools; they're known for being safe---and they're a perfect, if unexpected, institution to connect people to nature.
