[Paper submission deadline extended]
The paper submission deadline has been extended to 19 June 2023.
On 9 and 10 November 2023, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) will be hosting Let’s Go Green! 2023, its second international green libraries conference. Coming as a sequel to the Library’s first Let’s Go Green! conference, successfully held in 2018, the Conference will take place as part of Green Library for Green Croatia, a special programme of green initiatives which the Library launched in 2016 to educate its users, the majority of which are university students, and raise awareness among the wider public regarding the significance of the protection and preservation of natural resources in Croatia as a vital element of its national heritage.
In cooperation with its partners – the Environment, Sustainability and Libraries Section of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA ENSULIB), Croatian Library Association’s Commission for Green Libraries and Zagreb Library Association – and with the support of the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media the Library again wishes to encourage libraries and library professionals around the world to actively promote issues related to environmental awareness as the necessary requirement for counteracting environmental degradation and the negative effects of climate change.
Apart from providing opportunities for the international library community for sharing insights into the latest developments in the field of green librarianship and related international networking, the Conference will also address issues ranging from the green transition, sustainable development and energy efficiency to the implementation of UN Agenda 2030 and the European Green Deal from the perspective of libraries.
Announcing keynote presentations by the internationally recognised researchers, environmental experts and activists from Croatia, Denmark, Finland and Italy, the Library invites all interested in participation to learn more about the conference topics and submit their paper proposals not later than 1 June 2023, while all interested in attending the conference may register until 2 November 2023, in which context early and late registration fees are available.
