The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development identifies 17 goals as a shared blueprint for peace, prosperity, people and the planet. Australian academic libraries have started documenting and planning how academic libraries contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the identification of assessment frameworks and key performance indicators. In 2019, the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Library stepped through an exercise of understanding how our day-to-day work and annual planning targets mapped to the SDGs. The article is a case study. The authors outline how an academic library’s services, projects and action plans were mapped to the SDGs and how the mapping exercise was communicated to the community. The article will situate this activity among the broader approaches being taken by the Australian library community, including the 2030 stretch targets for Australian libraries. USQ Library staff found that existing services, collections and projects correlated to eight of the 17 SDGs. Activities were mapped to these eight goals and reported to senior executive of the University. The mapping exercise increased the awareness of library staff about the broader cultural and societal implications of their roles. The communication strategy led to conversations that increased university leaders’ awareness of the SDGs and the value and impact of USQ Library in improving access to information as well as the library’s role in transforming the lives of USQ students and community. By undertaking an exercise to map collections, services and projects to the SDGs, USQ Library has been able to demonstrate how their knowledge and information infrastructures which enable student achievement and research excellence. The SDGs can be used by university libraries as a benchmarking tool and as a challenge to set stretch targets aligned with the United Nation’s 2030 agenda.

在大学图书馆评估联合国的可持续发展目标

联合国《 2030年可持续发展议程》确定了17个目标,作为实现和平,繁荣,人类与地球的共同蓝图。澳大利亚高校图书馆已开始记录和规划高校图书馆如何为可持续发展目标(SDG)做出贡献,包括确定评估框架和关键绩效指标。在2019年,南昆士兰大学(USQ)图书馆逐步了解了我们的日常工作和年度计划目标如何映射到可持续发展目标。本文是一个案例研究。作者概述了如何将大学图书馆的服务,项目和行动计划映射到可持续发展目标,以及如何将映射工作传达给社区。本文将把这项活动放在澳大利亚图书馆界正在采取的更广泛的方法中,包括澳大利亚图书馆2030年的扩展目标。USQ图书馆工作人员发现,现有的服务,馆藏和项目与17个SDG中的8个相关。活动被映射到这八个目标,并报告给大学的高级主管。测绘活动提高了图书馆工作人员对他们的角色所带来的更广泛的文化和社会影响的认识。交流策略促成了对话,提高了大学领导者对可持续发展目标的认识,并增强了美国昆士兰大学图书馆在改善信息获取以及图书馆在改变USQ学生和社区生活中的作用方面的价值和影响。通过练习映射集合,USQ图书馆向可持续发展目标提供服务和项目,已能够证明其知识和信息基础设施如何使学生取得成就并取得卓越的研究成果。大学图书馆可以将可持续发展目标用作基准工具,并作为设定与联合国2030年议程一致的延伸目标的挑战。
