Synopsis

This guide offers practical advice, lesson plans, learning guides, projects, and activities in the form of 49 "recipes," to help academic libraries implement sustainability practices in the areas of sustainability thinking and development; teaching, learning, and research services; and community engagement, outreach, and partnerships. Academic librarians from American and Canadian institutions provide recipes for applying sustainability thinking processes to library functions and services, including open educational resources, seed libraries, and reusable supplies and resources; recipes for teaching, learning, and research services like supporting research for local impact, energy conservation, web archiving, teaching undergraduates to critically evaluate information resources and scholarship, teaching sustainable information literacy, and analyzing local environmental data; and recipes for community partnerships and outreach to inform and foster sustainability in the library and beyond, such as mending workshops, a climate change film series, supporting local foods, bike-lending programs, library-garden partnerships, and community day digitization programs. Each recipe includes a description, outcomes, the number of participants, its length, the materials, and preparation, implementation, and other information.
