Empowering UNSDGs by the LIS Professionals to Navigate the Information Landscape in Bangladesh: An Overview

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to reduce human suffering through clear goals and targets that rely heavily on information services. The study's primary purpose is establishing an information service that Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals can use to enhance the SDGs. LIS professionals must now move beyond traditional information collection and dissemination methods to retrain, retool, and repackage their services to improve information services to meet the SDGs. The study adopted a qualitative research approach. The result was given in both an interpretative and descriptive format. This study focused on LIS professionals’ point of view in Bangladesh. This article assesses the role of LIS professionals in improving information services towards the success of the SDGs. The study focused on the role of LIS professionals in Bangladesh and highlighted their theoretical viewpoint and relationship with libraries. Studies on LIS professionals and the SDGs in Bangladesh are few. There is not much research in this field, and more studies are required to get a clearer picture and comprehension when enhancing information services to support SDGs. This work is the foundation for more extensive research. This paper highlights the significance of equipping LIS professionals with the necessary skills and resources to contribute effectively to the country's progress towards achieving the SDGs. Suggestions and recommendations can be used in the field of LIS, and library professionals may apply them in the academic and research libraries to effectively change.
