Abstract
ABSTRACT This study uses the bibliometric method to analyze green libraries on a global scale. Additionally, it discusses the trends of article publication, research fields, authors, spatial and temporal distribution, and so on. The results of the study show that information technology applications and green practices in libraries are at the core of the study, and in terms of issued articles and cooperation in research, the United States and China rank among the top countries worldwide. According to the findings, cooperation among countries is poor. The article forms a multidisciplinary research posture with Library and Information Science as the core component. Furthermore, a keyword analysis revealed that research on the green library has shifted from pure environmental impact assessment to a multi-directional combination.
期刊介绍:
Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century. In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines: •best practices and models to improve service •management case studies-with results and failures •library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development •studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes •marketing and fund-raising tools that work •budget and financial analysis tools and tips
