Abstract

Sharing initiatives, things collections or libraries of things have become developing features in public libraries within recent years. This article reports on a retrospective case study of The Sustainable Library, a now-concluded Danish sharing initiative from 2016 to 2022. As an early example of a public library sharing initiative, The Sustainable Library is a unique case. Moreover, its explicit focus on sustainability and sharing economy makes it an early example of sustainable librarianship. The study offers empirical insights into the life cycle of the sharing initiative and its different phases. Examining the case from its organizational context, the study asks how and why the sharing initiative was developed, what were its preconditions and drivers, and which barriers were experienced along the way. Finally, the study makes room for hindsight reflections on the role and responsibility of public libraries and sharing initiatives in the sustainability agenda.

可持续图书馆:公共图书馆共享倡议的回顾性案例研究
近年来,共享倡议、物馆藏或物库已成为公共图书馆的发展特征。本文报告了可持续图书馆的回顾性案例研究,这是一项现已结束的2016年至2022年丹麦共享倡议。作为公共图书馆共享倡议的早期例子,可持续图书馆是一个独特的案例。此外,它对可持续性和共享经济的明确关注使其成为可持续图书馆事业的早期范例。本研究对共享倡议的生命周期及其不同阶段提供了实证见解。本研究从组织背景考察了这个案例,询问了共享倡议是如何以及为什么发展起来的,它的先决条件和驱动因素是什么,以及在此过程中遇到了哪些障碍。最后,该研究为公共图书馆在可持续发展议程中的作用和责任以及共享倡议提供了后见之明的反思空间。
