“…Global concerns such as environmental protection, preserving natural resources and combating climate change, as well as reversing the trend towards resource depletion and environmental degradation are challenges to the global community. Many studies have concluded that libraries, like every institution that uses energy, consumes resources and engages in users’ services, have a potential impact on the environment related to library buildings, printed and digital materials, equipment and facilities, information services and daily operations or programs (Afacan, 2017; Chowdhury, 2010, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013, 2014, 2016; Hauke and Werner, 2012; Jankowska, 2014; Jankowska and Marcum, 2010; Primary Research Group, 2009; Tang, 2010). Moreover, environmental challenges like energy depletion and global warming will influence the sustainable information services and programs which libraries provide to their communities (Antonelli, 2008; Harger, 2008; Meyer, 2008; Urbanska, 2009).…”
