Ecological Sustainability in Libraries

In this paper we want to explain the role and necessity of ecological sustainability in libraries to overcome the Digital Divide. Digital Divide is not only the physical connection to the internet. It has also a multidimensional aspect. We want to have a closer look at one aspect of such a physical workplace. This shall be the ecological sustainability of library buildings. Only by supporting the ecological sustainability the sustainable use of a library can be guaranteed and only in that way it can be ensured that the Digital Divide will be overcome in a sustainable way.
