Abstract
This article aims to systematize the experience of identifying the Sustainable Development Goals concerning the functions and activities implemented by the Mesa de Bibliotecas de Instituciones de Educación Superior de Antioquia, Colombia. The methodology used is participatory action research as well as three working meetings that include methods such as participatory training, situational diagnosis, group workshops, and brainstorming. These meetings evidenced the cross-cutting nature of some joint activities and actions related to the Goals within the working committees. In conclusion, the incorporation of the Goals into the Mesa de Bibliotecas de Instituciones de Educación Superior strategy represents a crucial opportunity to strengthen the development of academic libraries and promote a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable society in the region.
