Welcome to the 52nd BETH annual conference on the topic of sustainability in European theological libraries! We are delighted to welcome you to the BETH Conference 2024, nested against the breath-taking backdrop of Sarajevo – a city renowned for its rich history and stunning landscapes, providing an inspiring setting for discussions on sustainability.
We all recognise the growing importance of sustainable development across various areas and believe it is crucial to explore its implications within theological contexts and library settings. The United Nations has established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the UN 2030 Agenda, which represent a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that everyone, everywhere enjoys freedom, peace, and prosperity. As part of our commitment to fostering sustainable practices and contributing to the global effort towards achieving the SDGs, we believe in the importance of convening to discuss these issues and formulate concrete proposals to progress in the best direction.

Weaving our Students Together
Friday September 20, 2024 4:00pm - 4:30pm CEST
Gazi Husrev-beg's Library
Our library has been conducting various forms of library information training sessions for several years. From one-off sessions to a library slot during lectures. Librarians have tried various creative and sustainable ways to include library information sessions in the students' learning. One of the ways was to incorporate a mark score marking assessment in one of the introduction courses at the institution. However, the model was not sustainable in recent years. The changes in how users learn and information-seeking behaviour have shifted significantly. For about two years, I have been thinking of a new way of providing the necessary training for our users. In 2018, the library launched an asynchronous course for all new students. The course aimed to introduce new students to the institution, community life, academic writing, and library. Since then, we have substantially changed the course materials and assessments. It concludes by reflecting on the advantages of using a cultural approach for responsive pedagogy, such as the raranga (weaving) metaphor embedded in the course. The chapter argues that research into designing the course should consider the learners' needs in the planning, but whakawhanaungatanga (relationship) is at the centre of the planning.
