Climate Change Impacts on Libraries and Archives
$250.00
Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
Climate change is impacting libraries and archives across all regions. Climate change can potentially affect library buildings, collections, users, and staff. This includes short-term disasters, as well as long-term events such a sea-level rise and community displacement. Librarians and archivists, regardless of where they are located, should understand the threats related to climate change and how it shapes our work. During this course, participants will learn about the basic science of climate change, study its public policy implications and climate trends in their local region and institutions, and develop practical strategies for beginning to address climate change within the scope of their work.
