Abstract

In order to achieve progress and development, we must build a knowledge society, its construction depends mainly on the excellence of educational programs in general and the intellectual and scientific output of great value that they produce and which used effectively by libraries to contribute to solving societal problems and to support the achievement of sustainable development goals at national and global levels.
The study was based on a case study approach of the role of the Tunisian Scientific and Technical Information Portal of the National University Center for Scientific and Technical Documentation in the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Plan. The study concluded the importance of the role played by the portal in valorizing and making available information and data to decision-makers and in promoting full and timely access to up-to-date and diversified information related to the areas of sustainable development, including economic, social and environmental. The percentage of these topics in the portal reached 97.6% of the documentary fund which is managed using new technologies for collection and processing of data as well as in research methods.
The study recommended the need to strengthen this role by developing strategies and programs to further support these institutions by enacting laws that support open access and making changes to copyright laws in line with the Agenda 21 plan calling for bridging the digital divide and making data freely accessible.
