Abstract

Postulates the theory of Green Library Management as it applies to the key functions of the library. This theory has been put into practice at the University of Mauritius Library. Reviews some of the “green” measures applied in the administration of the Reference Library and makes further proposals. In integrating the concepts of sustainability, it draws attention to the need for a meeting point between the principles of environmental studies and library studies in the merging modern library management process.
