Conclusion

Emilia Bell (Coordinator, Evidence Based Practice)

Through reflective and evidence based practice UniSQ Library seeks to examine and understand our contribution to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is across our day-to-day work and it reflects the alignment of the SDGs with our professional values.

UniSQ Library recognises the importance of contributing to sustainable development, and the SDGs have provided a framework to support this in our local university context. Partnerships have been key to this as we engage with our community and recognise the local nature of global challenges.  This highlights the important role that academic libraries play in contributing to the SDGs and the themes that they address. Through our Library’s spaces, services, and collections – and the people dedicated to sustaining these – we continue to strive and advocate for the priorities set by the SDGs and recognise the positive impact of having such priorities embedded into our services.
