The Old Library Redevelopment Project (https://www.tcd.ie/old-library-campaign/) is a once in a lifetime conservation project being undertaken to ensure that Trinity’s iconic eighteenth-century library building, housing extensive historic collections, is sustained into its fourth century. Working with external experts, alongside internal stakeholders including Academic, Commercial, Estates and Library, the programme is complex, encompassing three co-dependent construction projects; including the complete decant of all of the Old Library’s collections, and the commitment of continuity of service to readers and visitors throughout the multi-year building closure period. The programme includes redevelopment of two protected historic structures, the development of a temporary reading room space and also an interim exhibition for the Book of Kells, as well as the use of commercial offsite low-oxygen storage for the collections. The processes used for the decant will reduce risks to the collections, improve documentation, and provide greater visibility via the online catalogue. Throughout, the Library is seeking to minimise the project’s climate impact, and re-use as many materials and items of furniture as is viable. Susie Bioletti, Keeper of Preservation & Conservation (and lead on Library sustainability), and Laura Shanahan, Head of Research Collections, will present these aspects of the Redevelopment Project in this parallel session. Whilst describing the overall project activities, they will explore its alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Quality Education, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Climate Action. They will cover topics such as the care of collections in a historic building with a city-centre location, the fundamental sustainability act of building re-use, the employment of specialist contractors, and examples of steps being taken during the current collection decant phase to minimise carbon impact and reuse materials.

I propose to present on the context of and how the Bord Bia Library supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) to help its community achieve sustainable development. Bord Bia is the Irish Government agency who’s purpose is to bring Ireland’s outstanding food, drink and horticulture to the world, thus enabling growth and sustainability of producers. In line with Pathways for Growth Bord Bia launched Origin Green Ireland’s national food and drink sustainability programme in 2012, uniting government, the private sector and the full supply chain to set targets that champion sustainability. Origin Green’s ambition is that Irish food and drink is the first choice globally because it is trusted as sustainably produced by people who care. Recognising that Origin Green was uniquely placed to play a pivotal role in helping the Irish food and drink industry deliver meaningful contributions to the advancement of the UNSDGs, the programme’s sustainability action plan is aligned to the UNSDGS and Bord Bia became a United Nations Global Compact member on June 26th, 2018. This alignment encouraged the Bord Bia Library to play its own role in advancing the UNSDGs and delivering Origin Green’s ambition. We have begun leveraging the IFLA’s and ALA’s UNSDG advocacy tools. I propose to discuss these tools, our key learnings, strategy alignment and take a deep dive into our UNSDG story on the IFLA’s Library Map of the World and share our library chart showing how our collections and services align to all 17 UNSDGs. The Bord Bia Library is on a mission to tell its community about the UNSDGs. By sharing our activities, plans and a list of UNSDG advocacy tools, we hope to inspire the Irish Library Community to take action and make the UNSDGs famous!

The Special Collections and Archives Department at the Glucksman Library, University of Limerick, developed and launched a new website in 2018, with a view to creating accessible research resources and opening up its collections to its researchers in new ways. The website, and its associated blog and social media account, all play a vital role in user engagement, but naturally, in a busy department, any digital offer must be sustainable in the long-term. The key to this is to create simple, reusable and scalable resources, working with that we have, within time and budgetary constraints. This paper explores the main decisions behind the design of the department’s various online research resources and outreach activities. As a recent example, it focuses on the ‘Opening a Window to the Past’ project, which was developed in conjunction with the UL History Department, and funded by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. Using archival diaries as a working example, this resource aims to build basic archival and information literacy, and explores useful historical research methods. It is designed to be used both in the classroom, as well as asynchronously and autonomously as required. It teaches users at all levels everything department staff would wish them to know before they undertake archival research, and allows them to engage with its various lessons to whatever level is most appropriate for them. Aside from the practical considerations of technical sustainability, the paper argues that open educational resources such as these can also greatly increase the sustainability of the department’s overall teaching and learning programme, as it makes both core archival literacy skills training and digitised archival material freely available online.

This talk presents the recent development and promotion of the ‘7 Do’s of DMPs’ guidance at RCSI. In recent years, we have seen an increasing emphasis on research data management due to a convergence of developments, including a growing dependence on technology for research, new legislative instruments addressing the storage and use of personal data, alongside the growing recognition of the potential of Open Research. One aspect of this is the emergence of the Data Management Plan (DMP) as a standard practice in research. The researcher documents, by way of the DMP, their plans for generating, storing, using and sharing their research data. Many funding organisations provide their own DMP template, consisting of a series of prompting questions or headings. There are also several openly available DMP wizard tools to assist researchers in generating this document. Nonetheless, the process of writing their first DMP can overwhelm many researchers. They may be used to describing their methodology, or research questions, but not necessarily the underpinning data. Terminology used in Open Research may also be unfamiliar to them, or they may be unsure of how much detail to provide in the DMP. In 2022, we developed a talk called the ‘7 Do’s of DMPs’ with the intent of distilling seven key elements that are consistent across a range of DMP templates. The DMP is usually the first point of contact between the researcher and library staff, therefore the 7 Do’s of DMPs provides an accessible and ‘friendly’ introduction to research data management. A checklist accompanies the talk, and staff in the library and the research support office can use this to identify the areas to be addressed in a DMP.

UCC Library began its sustainability initiative in 2016. Since then, it has implemented an award-winning sustainability campaign. Through its ‘Love our Library’ campaign UCC Library succeeded in reducing its energy and water consumption, increased recycling rates and reduced waste. It has made strides in sustainable transport and active travel. UCC Library has been a lever for change within the UCC community and has been the model for sustainability initiatives within UCC. UCC library is advancing its sustainability goals by refocusing its sustainability campaign with new initiatives. Changes taking place within the wider UCC community mean that the library can now switch its focus, from some if the immediate issues, to more long-term goals. In a post lockdown world, new challenges have arisen, air quality within the library building has become an issue in a transmission cautious world, with increased air flow come increased heating costs. Other pressures within society have increased pressures on the library infrastructure and the wider University community. This presentation will outline the steps UCC library took to achieve its initial successes and the lessons learned along the way. It will discuss the post pandemic environment and how UCC Library intends to refocus its campaign to maintain momentum and develop a culture of sustainability within the library community.

Irish Libraries have always been collegial places and the library community has always worked to create supportive spaces where colleagues can learn, grow, and develop professionally and personally. This lightning talk addresses the question of what we as a community need to do to sustain professional development in a post-COVID world, especially when it comes to embodying practices that are “environmentally sound, economically feasible, and socially equitable” (Resolution for the Adoption of Sustainability as a Core Value of Librarianship, ALA, 2019). Findings from an informal research survey sent to Library staff will provide examples of how libraries in Ireland are actively supporting staff in their professional and personal development. Using this research, we will provide primers on what we as a community can do to ensure sustainable career development, thus fostering and sustaining this collegial community. By establishing safe, creative spaces to work in, libraries can support wellbeing (SDG 3), promote lifelong learning opportunities for all library staff (SDG 4) and ensure full and productive employment (SDG 8). SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing Ensure Healthy Lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages SDG 4: Quality education Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Students’ interest in sustainability is growing. In 2014 a large HEA and NUS survey found that 68% of first year students agreed “Sustainable development is something which all university courses should actively incorporate and promote”¹. The most recent annual Sustainability Skills Survey of UK students found that 79% agreed “universities and colleges should be obliged to develop students’ social and environmental skills as part of the courses they offer”². Over the 2022/23 academic year our cross-college team at King’s College London have been conducting a literature review, seeking to build an overview of the concepts, models, and ideas for embedding ESD, how they have been operationalised and pursued within or outside degree curricula. In this paper we will explore one of the key themes emerging from our research so far. Across the world we can see pockets of successful practice emerging as universities attempt to educate a sustainability literature workforce. Individual university teachers and teams are working to promote environmental literacy among their students. However, while 79% of UK students might feel their universities should be developing their environmental skills, we have not yet reached a point were 79% of graduates are more environmentally aware than they when they started their course of study.

A zine (short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation, self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images (Wikipedia). Zines are often part of a maker culture which often includes people from marginalized communities or those who don’t have access to more mainstream publishing options (zinelibraries.info). For Culture Night 2022, UCC Library hosted a drop-in Zine Making Evening open to all and feedback on the event was overwhelmingly positive. This evening provided a safe, welcoming space (SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing) for participants to create and communicate their knowledge through the form of a zine. Attendees became active contributors to knowledge creation, which allows for increased participation that acknowledges diverse voices, knowledge and learning experiences (SDG 4: Quality Education). This workshop will allow attendees to learn about how libraries can facilitate DIY (do-it-yourself) knowledge creation through zines while keeping the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sustainability in mind. The class will cover the logistics in setting up a zine event – from sourcing materials to creating a welcoming space. There will be a hands-on activity in which attendees will share their own thoughts, feelings, and/or experiences on the topic of libraries and sustainability in a zine of their own. By the end of the session, attendees will be ready to run a zine making event in their own library.

This presentation highlights how UCC Library contributes to the UN Sustainability Development Goals: 1 (No Poverty), 4 (Quality Education), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) through its digital learning experiences, spaces and services. Within the University, the Library contributes to education for sustainable development by transforming learning environments and building on the digital capacities of students and staff (SDGs 4, 8, and 9) through digital learning experiences and services that facilitate the development of digital competencies. These include access to 3D printing, virtual reality, and equipment with workshops to support hands-on learning opportunities and the acquisition of new skills. These are available to all students and staff, regardless of discipline and promote the Library as a valuable partner in technology and innovation. Additionally, the Library has begun exploring open educational resources with the publication of three book allowing for increased access and affordability (SDG 1). Library staff are given opportunities to develop their own skills (SDG 8). Recent activities include 3D scanning projects, co-creation of learning experiences for UCC’s virtual learning environment, and opportunities for staff to engage in professional development. Finally, UCC Library engages with the public to promote lifelong learning and support the development of key skills (SDGs 4, 8, 9). In 2022, the Library participated in the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival by facilitating two online webinars and inviting the public to experience virtual reality in the Library’s Digital Environment Lounge. The above examples are ways in which UCC Library contributes to the UN Sustainability Development Goals by providing access to new and emerging technologies, training in new skills, and improvements in digital competencies. These projects and services allow learners to engage with life-long learning in meaningful experiences without cost or access barriers.

UCC is a world-leader in Green Campus/Sustainability initiatives and UCC Library has been at the vanguard of this work. As part of these measures UCC mapped its research, learning and teaching to the Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) in late 2022. Taking our cue from Emma Horgan’s long-term role in UCC Library’s Green team and Elaine Harrington’s increasing drive to engage with the wider community we sought to implement the SDG Mapping on a local scale. To maximise use of UCC Library’s Special Collections & Archives’ collections we will show why and how mapping our unique and distinctive collections (UDCs) to the SDGs will promote use of the collections by the UCC community and further afield. This work will also tie into UCC’s current research programme ‘Futures’ which “mines the frontiers of curiosity and inquiry at the intersection of disciplines.” In this presentation we describe how we applied the models established by UCC to evaluate SDG coverage in our collections, visualise that coverage and potential gaps, and reflect on how we can enhance SDG integration into our collections. We know that some uncatalogued/unlisted collections will be excluded but many collections already show a longitudinal perspective in developing this area. We will also give recommendations for how this activity and creating a specific Green UDC aligns with UCC’s 2023-2028 strategic plan and goals, as well as the Connected University framework. We address the opportunities for research and teaching that this activity will build on the fruitful collaboration between the University’s Sustainability Team and the Library’s Green Team locally. Integrating this SDG mapping to UDCs will enable students, staff and researchers to futureproof research, teaching & learning needs. Significantly, this interdisciplinary activity offers a benchmark for all library collections, not limited to UDCs alone, as this activity has the potential for worldwide application.

Since the publication of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) in 2002, the number of open access articles has increased drastically over the last two decades. Yet, the growth has not been celebrated as a success. For many, the predominance of commercial publishers and gold open access articles does not bode well for a truly open access movement because, first, transformative agreements do not resolve the serial crisis concerning the limits and allocation of library budgets. Second, access to scholarly literature is largely contingent on the availability of commercial research infrastructure. And third, the gold open access model entails that authors without funding cannot make their work openly accessible, including authors who are independent, retired, on precarious contracts. Furthermore, the gold open access model can be detrimental to bibliodiversity, that is, the critical diversity of authors and scholarly works representing cultures, languages, genres, and all kinds of scholarly and scientific endeavours. Bibliodiversity calls for an inclusive and diverse scholarly communication landscape. In this talk, we will discuss the role of library publishing in promoting and maintaining bibliodiversity by (1) providing venues for research and scholarship overlooked by traditional publishers, especially works in the humanities and humanistic social sciences; (2) maintaining institutional repositories in support of green open access and small publishers, and (3) providing an overview of the international development and challenges of library publishing. Finally, we will address why library publishing is important for addressing issues in bibliodiversity (sustainability in research) and economic sustainability of research libraries and infrastructure.

TU Dublin Library Services has a holistic approach to our students’ needs. With that in mind we have begun to develop the library garden on our Tallaght campus for the use of both students and staff. This poster will show our progress so far and include what we want to achieve in the future. Sustainability is part of the University’s strategic intent and is to the fore in this project. With some success growing fruit and veg we hope to expand this going forward. In essence, we want to create a calming sensory space to be in, which will also be productive.

UCC Library in collaboration with Buildings and Estates and Green Towers Ireland installed 3 aeroponic towers in Summer 2022. The towers grow fresh nutritious food year-round almost anywhere, requiring much less space and less water than traditional methods. The aeroponic system is an advanced form of hydroponics, which involves growing plants without any substrate, using only water and nutrients. The plants are suspended in the air, and their roots are periodically misted with nutrient solution. The towers were placed in 3 busy student social spaces in the library for maximum visibility and connection to the plants as they grow. Green Towers installed and maintain the towers, including harvesting every 4-6 weeks before replanting. On harvest days a stall is set up and the fresh produce, wrapped in paper as bouquets, is given away to students. Seeing the food grow from tiny seedlings to the full and leafy green harvest on ‘market days’ directly connects them to a more sustainable and tangible way of producing food rather than the disconnection of picking something up from a supermarket shelf, the disconnection that contributes to massive amounts of food waste. Library lettuce as they call it creates positive connections between students, the library and sustainable methods of growing food. This, in conjunction with the many sustainability policies within the library helps us to educate on sustainable practices, and crucially, how they all connect to the bigger picture of why we must do all that we can.

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) supports the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development, 2014 (which was a response/commitment to promote meaningful access to information as part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), which states that a right to information worldwide would be transformational. Access to information supports development by empowering people, especially marginalised people and those living in poverty. In this talk there will be a discussion of the vital importance of the availability of Open Access research publications to improve access to information and knowledge to enable the fulfilment of the SDGs to end poverty, improve health and education, reduce inequality, encourage economic growth, and tackle environmental destruction and climate change. There will also be discussion of the role Libraries have to play in supporting Open Access at a national and local level, the options for publishing Open Access and the challenges. Finally, the tools available to measure what proportion of your institutions papers are available as Open Access and what proportion are covering SDG topics will be demonstrated. These Tools will include Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Altmetrics Explorer.

Sustainability is about meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the needs of future generations (United Nations, Brundtland Commission). At its core, social sustainability is about people. But how do libraries know if they are providing for the people in their communities? Are they places of sanctuary that improve the wellbeing of their users, or do they cause anxiety for students grappling with complicated systems and environments? TCD Sense, The Trinity Sensory Processing Project, aims to make Trinity College Dublin more inclusive by reviewing and improving new and existing spaces, building sensory awareness and providing specialist supports to students who experience barriers to managing and adapting to their sensory environments. User experience research by the Library with students highlighted the impact of the sensory environment on wellbeing and productivity: lighting, noise and a sense of sanctuary affect student comfort in library spaces, especially students who experience sensory overload and have high awareness of the sensory environment. These findings were reinforced by further research by Trinity’s Disability Service and Discipline of Occupational Therapy, which included a sensory audit of learning spaces across the campus. Supported by a fund for students with disabilities announced by The Minister for Further and Higher Education, the Library of Trinity College Dublin continued its close collaboration with The Disability Service and student groups to create over ten sensory spaces across its estate. Each space caters to different sensory preferences in terms of room size, noise, light, seating and visual stimuli. This paper will discuss the key findings from the research and how they informed the selection of furniture, equipment and importantly, a new approach to design thinking. It will present an evaluation of the TCD-Sense project and describe further initiatives in universal design aimed at meeting the needs of future generations of students.

This presentation will use the well-established SWOT analysis technique to examine a selection of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats impacting academic libraries collectively and influencing their status and positioning. These shape the academic library in terms of what it is and does, how it is seen, where it excels and struggles, and its potential for advancement and decline. An understanding of them, and how they interact to generate sometimes unexpected effects and outcomes, is essential to sustainable strategic advancement. In terms of sustainability, strengths include the predisposition of academic libraries towards collaboration and partnership with other parties and with each other to positive effect. Among the weaknesses are an economic situation in which often static budgets chase sustained rises in expectations and costs. A key opportunity is the disruption to existing paradigms caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, opening the way to take new directions or accelerate ongoing changes. Global uncertainty and political, economic, social and technological disruption represent a real threat, creating a very challenging operating environment. This analysis is focused on helping academic libraries to maximise the sustainability of their positioning by leveraging their strengths, addressing particular weaknesses, taking the major opportunities presented to them and mitigating significant threats they confront. It acknowledges context as vital and variable for different libraries and takes full account of the wider higher education environment. The presentation will propose strategies from which academic libraries may wish to select and pursue where relevant, with the aim of advancing their situation sustainably. These include active positioning, being political, maximising social capital and maintaining long-term perspective. The environment on and beyond the campus is challenging, uncertain and fast-changing, but academic libraries, if they can mitigate the weaknesses and threats they confront, have much to build on through their established strengths and the opportunities available to them.

Research Libraries UK (RLUK) is a consortium of 39 research libraries in the UK and Ireland, with a number of networks and working groups including the Collections Strategy Network (CSN). In May 2022 the RLUK Board of Directors endorsed the CSN’s vision for a UK Distributed Print Book Collection (UKDPBC) as part of the ‘Collective Collections’ strand of the RLUK ‘Transforming Libraries’ strategy. It is envisaged that this shared print collection will extend beyond RLUK libraries with SCONUL libraries, national libraries, special libraries and Jisc all playing a role. The UKDPBC builds on previous work relating to collective collections, including the successful UKRR service. The UKDPBC will support sustainable collection management through ensuring preservation of, and access to, shared print book holdings in the UK for current and future users. The UKDPBC will enable individual libraries to reduce their own print collections through strategic decision-making, with the positive environmental impact of reducing the size of local collections stores, and without the risk of limiting access to print book content. We are planning to begin the process to implement the UKDPBC in 2023, with the distributed collection managed through the use of retention statements added to metadata records uploaded to the National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK). The NBK includes records created from the holdings of 141,426,076 records contributed by 190 institutions, with holdings discoverable through Jisc Library Hub Discover. It is envisaged that individual libraries will add retention statements as local collections analysis and projects are carried out. We are also working with Jisc to analyse NBK data to identify potential ‘last copies’ of titles to proactively ensure sustainable access to at risk content.

In 2022 Maynooth University (MU) Library changed from ‘deployed’ locally hosted to cloud hosted EZproxy. In addition the Library implemented EZproxy Analytics as an add on to hosted EZproxy. EZproxy is an authentication service provided by OCLC. Before the changeover, Maynooth University Library users authenticated via IP on campus and via ‘deployed’ locally hosted EZproxy when off-campus. Reasons for implementing hosted EZproxy EZproxy server and operating system at end of life Recommended server be decommissioned Managing the service locally time consuming How does this project fit in with the theme? This project relates to the theme of economic sustainability as it aligns to the MU Library Strategic Plan (2020-2023) goal to “harness digital capacity and innovation to create efficiencies…”. The pandemic highlighted the importance of cybersecurity and access to electronic resources. An implementation fee and a reasonable annual subscription enabled the Library to provide secure, seamless access to electronic resources and services both on and off campus.

In April 2023, the legal deposit libraries entitled under UK legislation (the British Library, the Bodleian Libraries, Cambridge University Library, the National Library of Scotland, the Library of Trinity College Dublin, and the National Library of Wales) are marking 10 years of collecting digital publications: e-books, e-journals, geo-spatial datasets, e-scores for music, and websites. To some extent, this development marked a shift in format: many publishers who previously deposited print copies with the six libraries were transitioned to submitting the e-versions into a shared digital infrastructure. But it also represented a significant increase in the overall collecting remit, particularly through web archiving. And yet, it excludes much of the intellectual and artistic creations that are released every day online, particularly games, music and videos. The 10-year anniversary of the UK legislation, therefore, invites reflection on what has been achieved, how sustainable this huge undertaking is, and how it should evolve. The UK is one of the world’s major publishing markets, with an annual output of over 150,000 titles, and a vast historic corpus: legal deposit has been around for a long time – since 1801 in the case of Trinity College Dublin, and back to the 17th century for the Bodleian Libraries of Oxford. When the ‘Legal Deposit Libraries (Non-Print Works) Regulations 2013′ were introduced, the cost of physical storage was at the forefront of many libraries’ concerns, yet carbon footprint was not an active consideration. As a result of the Regulations, the six libraries have created a seventh transnational e-library on an enormous scale. Against the backdrop of the 10th anniversary, this paper proposes to focus on the economic as well as the environmental sustainability of UK legal deposit, inevitably exploring and probing its value to researchers and to wider society in the process.

Sustainability is a key factor in the UCD strategy. UCD Library, working with UCD Estates on large and small scale projects, have successfully contributed to this strategy. This talk will look at a range of UCD Library refurbishment projects, some completed and others underway. Planning decisions are framed by what will deliver the best value and least environmental impact over the whole lifespan of the project, rather than taking a short term focus on lowest initial capital cost. Our goal is to minimise the negative environmental impact of the refurbishment by utilising energy-saving technologies that materially impact on the performance of the building ( glazing, acoustic treatments, LED lighting), and by giving careful consideration to the removal of existing materials (shelving, curated collections, furniture etc.) and the impact of disposal through recycling, reuse or up-cycling. The second part of our talk will give a general overview of the work of the Library Green Group, looking at staff involvement in projects, the creation of the LIbrary Green Guide, promotion of green initiatives and collaborations with our UCD campus partners. This Group, set up in 2019 , continues to identify ways to raise environmental awareness among UCD Library staff, to place increased focus on recycling opportunities, to identify opportunities to become more energy efficient and to seek across campus collaboration to assist in achieving identified goals. Green initiatives include the Learning Enhancement Project, the pollinator plan/wildflower meadow, installation of LED lights, the introduction of water fountains and efforts to increase staff/student green education.
