At the end of October, libraries across the UK celebrated Green Libraries Week, a national campaign led by CILIP (the UK’s library and information association) that highlights how libraries are taking action on climate change and sustainability. From local projects to creative skills-building activities, libraries are finding new ways to make a difference.
Here at the OU Library, we’re joining in by sharing two special resource lists to help you explore sustainability and build your green skills:
Created with the OU Sustainability team, this collection looks at the big questions around climate change – and the practical things we can do to help. It’s all about prevention, collaboration, and thinking long-term for a better future.
Green Skills are key to creating a more sustainable world – and you might already have some without realising it! This list helps you spot, develop, and use your green skills to make a positive impact.
Both lists are updated regularly, and we'd love your input on what to add next. Start exploring using the links above, and join us in working towards a greener, more sustainable future.
The Library Services website is your gateway to a wide range of online information resources. You can use it to find out more about the Library, search our extensive online collection of Library resources (including eBooks, journals, databases and more), and explore our programme of live online training sessions that are available to all OU students and staff. Or indeed, come and speak with us at the Library Helpdesk: we look forward to it. And keep up to date with us by liking us on Facebook, following us on Bluesky, and subscribing to our YouTube channel.
