The purpose of this paper is to explain the concepts related to environmental education in the context of sustainable development, to indicate the links between them as well as to identify and organize elements of library activities that have the potential to implement environmental education.,The method of analysis and criticism of scientific and professional literature and research reports was used. The multiple case study method was also used.,An analysis of literature and multiple case studies confirms the assumption that sustainable development is now a new paradigm of librarianship. Among the goals of sustainable development are environmental goals, which in libraries can be achieved through environmental education. A broad approach to environmental education has been proposed, which is implemented not only by using library services but also by building green collections, contacts with environmentally involved librarians, using ecological library infrastructure, observing sustainable management methods in libraries, cooperation between the library and the external environment in terms of the natural environment.,An analysis of 20 case studies was carried out regarding the implementation of pro-environmental measures in libraries. Examination of a larger number of case studies would probably give a more complete picture of this area of activity in libraries. The next stage of research should be the development of standards/guidelines in the field of environmental education in libraries, and then the development of methods and techniques for assessing the quality of library activities in this area and methods for assessing the impact of libraries on society and the environment in the field of environmental education.,The paper indicates – based on case study analyses – those library elements that have potential in the field of environmental education. They were ordered in categories that were assigned to the three main components of a library: people, artefacts and processes.,Sustainable development is a new library paradigm. The paper focuses on the environmental area, specifically environmental education. It has been recognized that libraries have considerable potential for environmental education and should be seen as socially responsible organizations that take responsibility for the impact of their decisions and actions on society and the environment.,The paper explains the basic concepts of environmental education and the relationships between them. It defines the area of environmental education in libraries in terms of library activity elements that can be used to organize them according to the three main components of a library, which are people, artefacts and processes. The paper also indicates that sustainable development should be treated as a new paradigm of librarianship, and environmental education as a new research field of library and information science.

图书馆环境教育——理论基础与实践

本文的目的是在可持续发展的背景下解释与环境教育相关的概念，指出它们之间的联系，以及识别和组织有潜力实施环境教育的图书馆活动的要素。,方法使用了对科学和专业文献和研究报告的分析和批评。还使用了多案例研究方法。对文献和多案例研究的分析证实了可持续发展现在是图书馆业新范式的假设。可持续发展的目标包括环境目标，在图书馆中可以通过环境教育来实现。提出了一种广泛的环境教育方法，这不仅通过使用图书馆服务，还通过建立绿色馆藏、与环保图书馆员联系、使用生态图书馆基础设施、遵守图书馆的可持续管理方法、图书馆与外部环境在自然环境方面的合作来实现。对 20 个案例研究进行了分析，这些案例研究是关于在图书馆实施环保措施的。检查大量案例研究可能会更全面地了解图书馆的这一活动领域。下一阶段的研究应该是制定图书馆环境教育领域的标准/指南，然后发展评估该领域图书馆活动质量的方法和技术，以及评估图书馆在环境教育领域对社会和环境的影响的方法。,本文基于案例研究分析指出了那些在环境教育领域具有潜力的图书馆元素。它们按类别排序，分配给图书馆的三个主要组成部分：人员、人工制品和流程。可持续发展是一种新的图书馆范式。该论文侧重于环境领域，特别是环境教育。人们已经认识到图书馆在环境教育方面具有相当大的潜力，应该被视为具有社会责任感的组织，对其决策和行动对社会和环境的影响承担责任。本文解释了环境教育的基本概念及其关系它们之间。它根据图书馆活动要素定义了图书馆环境教育领域，这些要素可用于根据图书馆的三个主要组成部分（人员、文物和流程）来组织它们。论文还指出，可持续发展应被视为图书馆学的新范式，环境教育应被视为图书馆与信息科学的新研究领域。论文解释了环境教育的基本概念以及它们之间的关系。它根据图书馆活动要素定义了图书馆环境教育领域，这些要素可用于根据图书馆的三个主要组成部分（人员、文物和流程）来组织它们。论文还指出，可持续发展应被视为图书馆学的新范式，环境教育应被视为图书馆与信息科学的新研究领域。论文解释了环境教育的基本概念以及它们之间的关系。它根据图书馆活动要素定义了图书馆环境教育领域，这些要素可用于根据图书馆的三个主要组成部分（人员、文物和流程）来组织它们。论文还指出，可持续发展应被视为图书馆学的新范式，环境教育应被视为图书馆与信息科学的新研究领域。
