The Green Library - Die grüne Bibliothek - The challenge of environmental sustainability - Ökologische Nachhaltigkeit in der Praxis

Contributions and case studies from Germany and other European countries, as well as from Asia, Australia and the US, demonstrate different aspects of reducing the 'ecological footprint' in libraries. As well as looking at everyday procedures, the social role and responsibility of libraries as leaders in environmental sustainability are considered. Contributions are written in German or in English and all have German and English abstracts.
