While there has been much enthusiasm for digital scholarship and services in academic libraries, more clarity is needed in terms of how such projects and services can be both environmentally and financially sustainable in the long run. In this presentation, Prof Pang will share about the challenges encountered by NUS Libraries especially when growing the digital scholarship programmes and services, and the approaches towards sustainability. In doing so, she demonstrates the significant roles academic libraries can play in managing the carbon footprint of digital projects, and the implications for library staff development.
