    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026) Çimen, Ertuğrul; Cevher, Nilay; Gedik, Kübra Zayim; Bulgan, Uğur; Akbaytürk Çanak, Tuba; Sezgin, Üstün Berk
    Sustainability, encompassing environmental, economic, and social dimensions, is central to creating a more inhabitable future, and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address multifaceted challenges, including information access and education inequalities. Libraries, particularly academic libraries, have a core mission to provide and disseminate sustainable information, positioning them as key contributors to achieving the SDGs. This comparative study investigates the diverse roles of academic libraries in advancing these goals across Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, North Macedonia, and Türkiye, chosen for their regional proximity and similar socio-cultural and librarianship contexts. Drawing upon survey data, the study explores the involvement of academic libraries in sustainable development within these countries and the factors influencing their engagement. Despite a low response rate, the findings highlight a growing awareness among academic libraries and librarians toward sustainable development, revealing diverse strategies, successful approaches, and challenges encountered. Ultimately, the study underscores the vital role of academic libraries as catalysts for knowledge dissemination, community empowerment, and innovation in advancing the global sustainability agenda, offering valuable insights for policymakers and library stakeholders

    Comparative Study of 5 Countries on How Libraries Contribute To Sdgs
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023) Akbaytürk, Tuba; Cevher, Nilay; Çimen, Ertuğrul; Zayim Gedik, Kübra
    Libraries are essential societal stakeholders that can contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As centers of information, libraries can play a critical role in the dissemination of research and knowledge. As a key resource, libraries are always at the forefront of education and awareness creation. This poster studies the involvement of academic libraries with sustainable development in different countries and explores the factors affecting the extend of this involvement. For this study, five countries namely Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, North Macedonia, and Türkiye were selected and academic libraries in these countries are invited to fill a survey. These countries were chosen because of their geographical proximity, similar socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, and corresponding librarianship approaches. In addition, the fact that there is no story from any of these countries in the SDGs section of the IFLA Library Map of the World has been decisive in the country selection. North Macedonia was left out of the analysis due to no response. Low response rate from other four countries reminds a further need for using tools other than survey to expend the analysis. Despite the low response rate, results are highlighting rising awareness among academic libraries and librarians.
