The Ecology Section of RNPLS&T website maintained since 2003 is targeted at both Library users and partners in ecological education and information. Access to bibliographic annotated database “Ecology: Science and technology” and to e-library in ecology is provided; new acquisition bibliography are published monthly; information on exhibitions, conference proceedings and webinar records are also available. These are the ways to inform Library users and partners on publications in ecology, sustainable development and RNPLS&T’s efforts in ecology education and awareness building. The traffic to ecological pages evidences on the demand and usefulness of the provided information. The bibliometrical analysis of the Ecology Section was completed; the author provides its findings. The Section materials are characterized. The traffic statistics, i. e. number of views, visit depth, link sources, is provided for the period January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019. AWStats vs. Yandex.Metrica data are compared; corresponding improvement lines are identified for RNPLS&T website Ecology Section.

The mining industry in the world has undergone a major metamorphosis in recent years. These changes have forced higher education to modify the curricula in a thorough way to meet the mining entrepreneurs’ needs. The paper’s scope is to answer the research question—how to attract students and implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education in mining engineering? Based on the case of international cooperation carried out at the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) within the framework of educational projects co-financed by European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities Raw Materials (EIT RM), the authors prove that the idea of sustainable development can be introduced into the system of teaching mining specialists at every level of their higher education (engineering and master’s studies), through developing their new competencies, introducing new subjects taking into account innovative solutions and technologies, or placing great emphasis on environmental and social aspects. Examples of new curricula show a good way to change into the new face of a mining engineer.

The practice of treating the environment with disdain has gradually become unfashionable. Yet in many developing nations, Nigeria among them, environmental education and awareness campaigns remain something regarded as unnecessary. According to Berry (1993: 158):The term “sustainable development” has become a shibboleth of governments and industries, to present a respectful image to a society that is becoming even more strident in its concern for the environment. It is a concept that was projected onto the world by the Stockholm Conference of 1972, and has been carried ever since by the United Nations Environment Programs (UNEP), the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and the World Wildlife Fund for nature (WWF) in their world conservation strategy. It has the ring of truth and worldwide acceptance, but it is poorly understood by those who use it.

The Chinese government actively uses the new media platform to disseminate government information and provide government services. Contemporary scientific and technological innovation, with computers and information science and technology as engines, has become the core driving force of “leading development”. This article puts the new media of Chinese government affairs under the perspective of technological innovation, analyzes the bottlenecks and possible solutions it faces, discusses the sustainable development path of new media for Chinese government affairs, and strive to provide some reference for the sustainable development of new media for government affairs in other countries or regions.

The United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals are a worldwide call for action to eradicate poverty, to eliminate inequalities, to protect the planet, to achieve sustainable economic growth, and to warrant that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. However, there is ethical disquiet in achieving these goals. Yet, there is not much deliberation over the role of information ethics in achieving these goals. This study sought to examine the relevance of IFLA Code of Ethics for librarians and other information workers in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. A pragmatism paradigm was adopted by which 71 responses were attained through the use of an online survey tool (Google forms). The data collected were both qualitative and quantitative. The study findings revealed that librarians conduct various activities in an effort to uphold the IFLA Code of Ethics to enhance attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. These activities include non-censorship, training in ICTs and copyright issues, cooking and reading clubs, tutoring services, gender equality in duty allocation and remuneration, pen data repositories or databases, dissemination of social media information, health awareness programmes, non-discrimination against library users, and inclusive access by catering for people with disabilities. The study recommends that libraries implement the appropriate infrastructure and monitor the adherence to the professional code of conduct to create a productive workforce and an environment that promote achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
