What We Are Learning in the SDGs.
The library uses social media to run a campaign titled "What We Are Learning in the SDGs." On the library's Facebook fan page, the campaign features posts combining images and text that highlight the specialties and characteristics of different colleges within the university. Each week, a new theme is planned and updated, along with corresponding library collections. This helps readers gain a clearer understanding of the types of resources available in the library and the themed collections related to the SDGs.
