First academic library to be certified through the Sustainable Library Initiative
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
In 2022, Clarkson University Libraries became the first academic library to complete the Sustainable Library Certification Program for Academic Libraries. With thirteen categories of actions focusing on each of the three pillars of triple bottom line sustainability such as Community Engagement, Social Well Being, and Energy Management, this comprehensive process leads a library toward institutional change that shifts the rationale for every decision to consider the local and global impacts. The path to certification through the Sustainable Libraries Initiative Academic Library Certification Program is designed to be flexible for libraries of different sizes and budgets and guided by the campus, students, and communities they serve. Each library
that completes the program will select the benchmarks that best fit the needs of their library and campus,
resulting in a uniquely sustainable organization.
