SSL staff are currently working towards the Green Impact Silver Award for 2015/16, having achieved Bronze and Best Newcomer awards in 2014/15. Electricity use is one of the library’s main environmental impacts. We have been saving electricity by:
- Setting the photocopiers to enter sleep mode after 15 minutes’ inactivity
- Switching off half the photocopiers in vacation
- Enabling the power saving options on staff PCs
You can help the SSL save energy and reduce CO2 emissions by:
- Switching off laptops and mobile devices when not in use
- Unplugging chargers when devices are fully charged or disconnected
- Enabling power saving settings on laptops
- Switching off the Reader PC monitors after use
- Turning off the lights in the Discussion Rooms and Graduate Study Rooms when leaving
- Telling us your energy saving tips! Email ssl@bodleian.ox.ac.uk or talk to library staff.
