Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of information managers and libraries in accomplishing Nigeria's sustainable development goals in the 21st Century. The paper explored the notion of sustainable development, examines the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including their respective targets. It identifies and discusses the role of libraries and information managers (librarians) in achieving SDGs, as well as the philosophy of information theory of communication as proposed by Claude Shannon (1948). Libraries all over the world offer a variety of products and services that support the accomplishment of all 17 SDGs. Libraries are secure, friendly spaces at the heart of communities, fostering reading and providing free access to information. Libraries are vital instruments in society, and they play a critical role in accomplishing long-term development goals. Citizens must be well informed if Nigeria's sustainable development goals are to be met and sustained. This can be accomplished by selecting, processing, organizing, and disseminating information based on the parameter of development as indicated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and organizing training programs or forums where issues such education, environmental, climate change, gender inequality and health issues can be discussed, and so on.

信息管理者是21世纪实现可持续发展的变革推动者

本文的目的是研究信息管理者和图书馆在实现尼日利亚21世纪可持续发展目标中的作用。本文探讨了可持续发展的概念，考察了17个可持续发展目标(sdg)及其各自的具体目标。它确定并讨论了图书馆和信息管理者(图书馆员)在实现可持续发展目标中的作用，以及克劳德·香农(1948)提出的信息传播理论哲学。世界各地的图书馆提供各种产品和服务，支持实现所有17个可持续发展目标。图书馆是位于社区中心的安全、友好的空间，促进阅读并提供免费获取信息。图书馆是社会的重要工具，在实现长期发展目标方面发挥着关键作用。如果要实现和维持尼日利亚的可持续发展目标，公民必须充分了解情况。这可以通过以下方式实现:根据可持续发展目标(SDGs)中所示的发展参数选择、处理、组织和传播信息，并组织培训计划或论坛，讨论教育、环境、气候变化、性别不平等和健康问题等问题。
