Biblioteke i ciljevi održivog razvoja

Abstract

This paper highlights the direct link between libraries in the implementation of sustainable development and their key role in the achievement of the 17 goals of sustainable development. The authors emphasize each of the specific objectives of sustainable development and the role and possible contributions that libraries and their employees have in their realization. In the analysis of the role of libraries in achieving the specific objectives of sustainable development, it is pointed out that the role of libraries does not lie only in education for sustainable development. This is because libraries are not only libraries but key institutions and actors in providing access to information relevant to the objectives of sustainable development, preservation of global and local cultural heritage, while ensuring universal and informatics literacy, with access to information and communication technologies.
