Subject Guide
Introduction
This guide began as a handout for a series of green libraries workshops. Slides for these presentations are available on IDEALS:.
- Greening Your Building
- Forming a Green Team and Making It Work: Sustainability Planning for Libraries
- Sustainability Planning for Libraries
- Going Green in the School Library
- Green Libraries: Getting Started
The workshops and this guide were developed by Laura L. Barnes, Sustainability Information Curator at the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center from 1995-2025. For an introduction to environmental reference sources for librarians who don't specialize in environmental information, visit the Librarian's Environmental Toolkit.
