If I wanted to teach online, I wouldn’t start here On 12 March 2020, in response to the Covid-19 situation, Taoiseach Leo Varadker announced that all schools, colleges and universities would move online from the next day. The Irish National Digital Experience (INDEx) Survey, carried out in November 2019, indicates that 70% of staff who teach in higher education in Ireland had never taught in a live online environment. This underscores the challenge faced by teaching staff during the “pivot”, using available technologies to complete the academic year.

Digitizing Education for Emerging Users
The education field in India is mired in tradition, ideology and incumbent interests. There is a need for a transformation in education that will help make the learning that is imparted current and relevant. Today’s children live in a world that is constantly connected, and alive outside the class room. Yet education is still delivered through traditional means. The true revolution in education will come from digitization of education so that children can learn at their own pace both within and outside the classroom. All this while they continue to benefit from the nurturing, mentorship and guidance of teachers.
This combination of traditional teaching pedagogy coupled with digitized learning is one of the ways we can prepare our upcoming generations to become global contributors who can communicate across culture, time and geographies.

Fostering and sustaining open scholarship practice and metaliteracy at underg...
Although academic libraries are very good at promoting the virtues of peer review and open scholarship to undergraduate students, there remains the challenge of how to translate the concepts of open access and open education into tangible metaliteracy instruction and impactful student skill. One way to achieve this is by providing students with the opportunity to publish in scholarly journals.
Undergraduates publishing in journals that involve peer review and professional presentation is well established. The Council on Undergraduate Research lists numerous successful journals from around the world (Council on Undergraduate Research, 2021). Encouraging students to publish their work in collaboration with faculty and the library allows them to, 1) authentically communicate their work, 2) benefit from applied experiential learning by going through constructive academic review, resulting in improved work, 3) expose their work to a global audience and, 4) engage in knowledgeable debate about trends, issues and ethics in scholarly publishing. Critically, students are encouraged to put their best effort into their academic work. Getting involved in the process of publishing empowers individual academic agency in students, as well as raises the value of the university by showcasing the final, revised version of student academic and creative work (SFU Library, 2022).
In our proposed presentation, we will discuss the genesis of cujournal.ie and enhancing library-faculty partnerships through this initiative. How do we manage and operationally maintain the journal? What roles does DCU Library play as publisher of course-related journals? How can such journals meaningfully support metaliteracy instruction and inspire transition to open pedagogy?
The Library of the Future: Embedding Sustainability into Strategic Planning
This paper will discuss how the development of a new, ambitious ‘UCD Library Strategic Plan 2021-2025: The Library of the Future’ was carried out in a way that embeds future sustainability in all our services and facilities.
The starting point for the library’s strategic plan was UCD’s Strategy 2020-2024: ‘Rising to the Future’ which articulates a vision of a university with ambitions to grow its student population while also placing sustainability at its core, striving to ‘create a sustainable global society’. This placed an initial emphasis on developing a Library strategy that was future focused and centered on sustainability; economically, environmentally and socially.
Alongside this, development of the library’s strategy occurred during a time of significant challenges. These were multifactorial and included a shift in institutional priorities following the pandemic, and an unprecedented level of change in library and university leadership. This paper will outline how addressing these challenges further highlighted the need to embed a sustainable approach to delivering our new strategy.
This presentation will provide insight into how this strategic plan was developed with a focus on the library’s role in advancing a sustainable university. Furthermore, it will outline how sustainability was not viewed as a standalone strategic goal but, was fully embedded into each pillar laid out in the new strategy. This enabled us to consider sustainability in several different ways:
-The environmental impact of library spaces and services
-Management of library collections in the context of open research and global scholarship
-How we can support the development of critical literacies in our students and staff
-Enabling the capacity of library staff to support new and emerging roles and services
This paper will conclude by reflecting on how embedding sustainability into strategic planning can enable flexibility and adaptability when faced with unprecedented and significant challenges and change.

This workshop aims to demonstrate alternative perspectives in delivering sustainability literacy and research instruction in an Arts educational environment. By encouraging observation, experience and reflection, this workshop aims to demonstrate a democratic and empathetic approach to delivering sustainability-focused information literacy training that brings students close to a studio-based learning style (Appleton).
We will introduce object-based learning as an aspect of sustainability literacy that allows participants to explore themes around sustainability through objects as primary sources
The Old Library Redevelpment Project at Trinity College Dublin: sustaining an...
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.
Inspiring Action: How the Bord Bia Library Supports the UNSDGs
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!
Simple, sustainable, scalable: Developing online engagement and research reso...
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.
The 7 Do’s of DMPS
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 – maintaining momentum
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.

This document discusses continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for library staff in Ireland. It presents results from surveys of CONUL Library Directors and staff. The results show that while most libraries encourage and support CPD, not all make it mandatory. Financial support and professional leave for external events like conferences are common benefits. Barriers to CPD engagement include lack of funding, staff coverage while away, and management support. The document suggests libraries support staff CPD to promote work-life balance, lifelong learning, and career advancement, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals. It concludes more research may be needed and findings could inform the CONUL Training & Development group.
Education for Sustainability: Not Yet on A Sustainable Footing
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.
Facilitating knowledge creation: running a sustainable zine making event
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.
When the SDGs met UDCs: Future-proofing Research
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.
Library publishing and bibliodiversity
This document discusses bibliodiversity and library publishing. It provides data on open access publishing trends by country income level and APC revenues for major publishers. Library publishing is defined as activities led by libraries to support scholarly publishing with a preference for open access. However, open access is at a crossroads as transformative agreements do not resolve budget issues and gold open access limits publishing for unfunded authors. Overall access to scholarly literature remains contingent on commercial infrastructure.
The Library Garden as Sustainable Sensory Space
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.
Aeroponics in UCC Library, a towering success
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.
Why Research Libraries supporting Open Access is vital to the achievement of ...
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.
The TCD Sense Project: A Universal Design Approach for Library Services & Space
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.
The Sustainable Strategic Advancement of Academic Libraries: a SWOT analysis
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.
UK Distributed Print Book Collection
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.
