Die im Jahre 2009 eingeweihte Delitzscher Stadtbibliothek „Alte Lateinschule“ ist eine in mehrfacher Hinsicht bemerkenswerte Bildungseinrichtung. Die Bibliothek war mit 42.000 Medieneinheiten am alten Standort für den Bedarf zu klein geworden, auch fehlte ein Lesesaal. Nach Prüfung mehrerer Standorte fiel die Wahl auf ein inmitten der historischen Altstadt gelegenes, 1426 erbautes, inzwischen baulich ruiniertes Gebäude. Aus der Idee einer städtischen Projektgruppe heraus wurde das Konzept entwickelt, erstmals für die Stadt eine Erdwärmepumpenheizung zu installieren. Mit diesem Prinzip der Wärmeverdichtung kann etwa die Hälfte der Energie gegenüber einer modernen Gasheizung eingespart werden. Inaugurated in 2009, the Delitzsch City Library “Alte Lateinschule” (“Old Latin School”) is in many respects a remarkable educational facility. The library with its 42,000 media items became too small for the requirements of the old location, and lacked a reading room. After comparing several locations a building was chosen which is located in the historical centre; it was built in 1426 but was in a ruinous condition. Based on an idea of a municipal project group, the concept to install a geothermal heat pump for the first time in the town was developed. The principle of heat compression can save about half the energy compared to conventional gas heating.

Las bibliotecas son, sin duda alguna, uno de los ejemplos más tempranos de economía del intercambio. Al comprar libros colectivamente (ya sea a través de suscripciones, en el caso de bibliotecas privadas, o de impuestos, en el caso de bibliotecas públicas), han puesto en práctica una excelente manera de maximizar el acceso y reducir el consumo.

In 2010, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education released, ``Sustainability curriculum in higher education: A call to action,'' encouraging infusion of sustainability topics into universities' teaching and research. Since then, academic programs and research related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability have enriched university curricula. An exploratory study was conducted to determine the position and engagements of academic libraries and information science schools in their contributions to scholarly sustainability activities and curricular initiatives. This article presents the results of the study which reveals a number of engagements by library professionals in the areas of sustainability, such as increasing open access to research, building sustainability-related collections and research guides, and incorporating sustainability content into information literacy. While academic libraries and information science schools are engaged in a broad spectrum of initiatives that support their institutions' sustainability research and curricular functions, this study indicates that such activities require a more targeted approach.

Good health and well-being are central to human development. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 highlights the aspirations of this new universal agenda towards healthy living and well-being by 2030. All institutions, stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership are expected to help national government attain the SDGs. This paper assesses the role of ten academic libraries in Ghana in meeting the Sustainable Development Goal 3. Using the case study approach, ten librarians were interviewed to ascertain the current and future roles in attaining the SDG3, their mode of collaboration and the challenges they encounter in the implementation of SDG3. Findings reveal that librarians have been collaborating with health and allied institutions in an often subtle manner to address some health concerns of the communities they serve. Traditional authorities, youth groups, faith-based organisations as well as government agencies were identified as potent partners for libraries to collaborate with to help attain the SDG 3. Interpersonal methods such as Focus Group Discussions and role-play, as well as mass methods such as print, electronic and social media, posters and flyers were identified as efficient means to reach out to people for the purposes of ensuring healthy lives and well-being. Issues which emerged as possible threat to this effort include perceived role conflict, funding, credibility of information, community acceptance. It is recommended that for any initiative of this nature to succeed, there must be a strong policy at the local or inter-institutional level for increased cooperation. Librarians on the other hand, are expected to assert themselves and play a strong advocacy role in addressing an important national agenda such as the SDG3.

Besucherinnen und Besucher der Philologischen Bibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin haben seit dem 10. Januar die Möglichkeit, nicht nur Bücher zu wälzen, sondern auch in die Pedale zu treten. Auf Anregung der Bibliotheksangestellten Janet Wagner wurde im Lounge-Bereich in der dritten Etage der Bibliothek ein Fahrradergometer zur Verfügung gestellt. So können Nutzerinnen und Nutzer sich zwischen ihren Lernphasen bewegen und ablenken oder während des Lesens strampeln. Die körperlichen Mühen haben aber auch einen umweltfreundlichen Mehrwert: Das Fahrradergometer erzeugt beim Radeln Strom, der zum Aufladen von Smartphones oder anderen mobilen Endgeräten ausreicht.

Purpose The purpose of this research paper is to examine how Canadian Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified libraries are facilitating awareness about environmental sustainability to library users. Design/methodology/approach Twenty-four Canadian LEED-certified libraries were surveyed regarding internal initiatives, and methods used to promote their certification and green building features to library users. Findings The research found that the majority of Canadian LEED-certified libraries were incorporating a variety of internal initiatives and methods to highlight their LEED-certification to library users. The findings show the majority of these libraries were actively involved in creating awareness about this topic to library users. Originality/value This research may provide valuable information for libraries wanting to incorporate initiatives that bring awareness to environmental sustainability, or for libraries wanting to use existing green building features to help leverage awareness and learning about this topic.

Energy crisis and environmental challenges are becoming greater economic, health and social concerns of the day. Building design and construction processes, whether in the developing or developed world, have to address environmental issues. Library buildings, commonly known as intellectually stimulating and scholarly community places, have been, for some time dealing with this pressing need in quite a few countries. The Green Library Movement discussions in terms of building design and construction of libraries have been going on for a few decades, but only a handful of libraries with green or environmentally sustainable design have been built so far in the Asian context. In most cases, the budget allocation for library buildings is low making the case for sustainable and energy efficient buildings, stronger. This research tries to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of green or environmentally sustainable library buildings, focusing specifically on Asian countries with locally available resources, standards and climate assessments.

Le biblioteche sono senza dubbio un precoce esempio di economia della condivisione. Acquistando i libri collettivamente (sia tramite sottoscrizione nel caso di biblioteche private, sia con le tasse nel caso di biblioteche pubbliche), si sono dimostrate un ottimo modo di massimizzare l'accesso riducendo i consumi.

As bibliotecas são, sem dúvida, um dos primeiros exemplos de economia compartilhada. Ao comprar coletivamente livros (seja através de verbas próprias no caso de bibliotecas privadas, ou de fundos públicos no caso de bibliotecas públicas), eles provaram ser uma ótima maneira de maximizar o acesso e ao mesmo tempo, reduzir o consumo.
