要約:The integration of green technology and sustainable practices within academic libraries is crucial for fostering environmental awareness, enhancing educational quality, and effectively serving the surrounding community. This article critically assesses the impact of these strategies at Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak (PTAR) of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). We examine PTAR’s pioneering paperless initiatives, including extensive resource digitization and the transition to digital literature, thereby reducing reliance on physical books and minimizing paper waste. This article highlights the implementation of advanced eMeeting platforms (eMesyuarat), demonstrating how these technologies streamline administrative processes and reduce carbon footprints from traditional meetings. Furthermore, we emphasize the significant advantages of adopting eco-friendly library management practices, which contribute to environmental sustainability while enhancing operational efficiency and user experience. Our analysis also explores the role of Islamic principles of accountability (mas'uliyyah) in supporting these sustainability efforts, providing a comprehensive and culturally aligned framework for environmental stewardship within an academic library context. © 2024, IEICES/Kyushu University.
