Thammasat University is deeply committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across all dimensions. One of the key mechanisms serving as a “resource centre” that supports this mission is the Thammasat University Library.

The Library has taken a proactive role in collecting research papers, articles, and books related to all 17 SDGs to support the University’s sustainability policies. It also serves as an important resource for students, researchers, and the wider public interested in exploring issues related to sustainable development.

Curating and Connecting Research to Social Issues

What makes the Library’s approach distinctive is its effort to communicate this body of knowledge through social media channels on a regular basis. Rather than simply listing available resources, the Library employs a strategy of curating research with topical relevance and linking it directly to the corresponding SDGs.

Content is presented under timely and engaging themes to raise public awareness and inspire readers to access the full research documents.
For example, topics such as “Teenage Mothers” are connected to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education) through related academic studies. Other pressing social issues, including “Migrant Workers, Refugees, and the Grey Chinese Economy,” are used to highlight structural challenges that link to SDG 3, SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).

In addition, the Library actively spotlights research and articles authored by Thammasat’s own faculty members, showcasing the University’s academic capacity to drive the SDGs across multiple dimensions.

A Digital Resource Hub Accessible to All

All curated materials presented by the Library are part of the Thammasat University Digital Collections — a large-scale digital repository that organises information into nine categories across 42 collections, containing over 158,797 searchable items.

This digital repository is open to students, lecturers, staff, and the general public free of charge, and can be accessed anytime and anywhere. It truly represents Thammasat University’s commitment to opening knowledge to the public and demonstrates the vital role of higher education institutions in promoting lifelong learning for sustainable development.
