| dc.description.abstract | Libraries are evolving beyond traditional information repositories to become proactive agents in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study examines the critical role of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) libraries in aligning library practices with the SDG agenda. Through a detailed analysis of selected IIT libraries, the paper identifies innovative services, outreach initiatives, and policy implementations that embody global sustainability principles. The findings reveal that IIT libraries make significant contributions to quality education (SDG 4), industry innovation (SDG 9), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10) by promoting open access, digital literacy, inclusivity, and green practices. The study also highlights replicable best practices that can inform library strategies across higher education institutions in India and beyond | |
