dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the museumization process of Lira University Library, focusing on the acquisition, documentation, preservation management, exhibition management, and visitor control of museum heritages within the library’s premises. A qualitative approach to the study was adopted using in-depth interviews, document analysis as well as observation methods. The study also addressed the challenges inherent in this process, while emphasizing the significance of incorporating cultural heritages into library spaces to advance sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 8 target 9 and SDG 11 target 4. Acknowledging cultural heritage as a catalyst for sustainable development, the study underscores the pivotal role of libraries in cultural heritage management, serving as repositories for preserving cultural legacy for future generations. The establishment of the Library Museum is outlined with objectives including appreciation, acquisition, documentation, preservation, management, exhibition, education, and research in cultural heritage. Additionally, the study proposes a museumization model based on the library’s activities, consisting of seven elements that delineate essential actions required to achieve effective museumization.en_US
