Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the integration of sustainability principles into the strategic plans of national libraries within the European Union (EU-27). Content analysis was conducted on 22 strategic plans of national libraries to identify chapters, sections, or objectives explicitly mentioning sustainability, as well as keywords related to the four pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, social and cultural. The analysis revealed varying degrees of emphasis on sustainability across the national libraries. The findings provide valuable guidance for national libraries seeking to strengthen their commitment to sustainable development and align their operations with global sustainability goals.
