@article{Cadovska.2017, abstract = {Green literacy represents the ability to understand the impact of human decisions and actions on the environment by raising awareness of sustainable development and encouraging critical thinking. Its task is to change the behavior of an individual or the entire institution. Although the green literacy was first defined back in the early 1990s, at the same time when the green library movement was created, it is more important today than ever before. Libraries, as dynamic institutions that follow the new development trends and provide a broad range of information and services, have recognized the significance of ecology and sustainable development from the beginning. Therefore, they are a logical starting point for developing literacy of their users. This paper aims to introduce green literacy in the context of information literacy and to define its role in the development of libraries, especially within information services which represent the central place of education and informing for the users, and act as promoters of new services and activities in every library. Finally, a brief overview of the most important environmental projects related to user education in Croatian libraries is given.}, added-at = {2019-06-09T19:16:27.000+0200}, author = {Čadovska, Ivana and Tkalčić, A.-M.}, interhash = {9935118c705715991a62c7d1d0d9a3b9}, intrahash = {24cee813276e048a523dadc82dd193ab}, journal = {Vjesnik Bibliotekara Hrvatsk}, tag = {greenbib}, language = {en}, keywords = {Green literacy; Libraries}, number = 1, pages = {65-77}, timestamp = {2019-07-02T10:51:44.000+0200}, title = {Green literacy as part of a strategy for the development of information service}, volume = 60, year = 2017 }
