Why this topic now?• Many years; effecting change; slowly
• Burnout, sure, but running through all our efforts is a positive vein
• Needed a boost of spirit; enter Permaculture Design Principles

Bill MollisonPermaculture is a ‘Positivistic’ response to environmental crisis. It is about what we want to do and can do rather than what we oppose and want others to change. This response is both ethical and pragmatic, philosophical and technical.Mollison, B. C., & Holmgren, D. (1987). Permaculture one: a perennial agriculture for human settlements. Tyalgum, N.S.W.: Tagari.Holmgren, D. (2002). Permaculture: principles & pathways beyond sustainability. Hepburn, Vic.: Holmgren Design Services.

Produce No Waste (Holmgren)
• Definition (Mollison) of a pollutant: “As an output of any system component that is not being used productively by any other component of the system.”
• Minimize/eliminate waste.• What looks like waste could be exchange.

Design From Patterns to Details (Holmgren)
• “Can’t see the forest for the trees.”
• Step back. Observe patterns in nature and society which can form the backbone of our designs. Fill in details as we go. Complex systems that work tend to evolve from simples ones that work.
• Need to develop a shared language for talking about scale because it is a constant source of error and misunderstanding in any collective action.

Design From Patterns to Details(Libraries)
• Based on the “patterns” you see in others’ practices, adapt to your own needs, then figure out the details later.
• Make generalizations based on observed disciplinary needs, tailor to individual needs later.

Integrate Rather Than Segregate (Holmgren)
• By putting the right things in the right place, relationships develop between those things and they work together to support each other.

Use Small & Slow Solutions (Holmgren)
• Systems should be designed to perform functions and the smallest scale that is practical and energy-efficient for that function.
• Working to produce anything of value can be a painstaking experience when we are used to seeing things apparently appear from nowhere.

Use Small & Slow Solutions (Libraries)
• We are indeed moving slowly and making small changes.
• Working with 1 researcher at a time allows us build capacity to help whole departments.

Use & Value Diversity (Holmgren)• Diversity values vulnerability to a variety of threats and
takes advantage of the unique nature of the environment in which it resides.
• Think systematically, accept diversity.
• Innovators doing interesting things – which may or may not be worthy of further development – can provide information that others may find useful in developing their own unique sustainable solutions.

Use & Value Diversity (Libraries)• Disciplinary differences call
for disciplinary solutions.• Diversity in hiring keeps
organizations changing for the better.
• Freely exchanging information with other libraries allows you to learn and adapt new solutions to your own needs.

Use Edges & Value the Marginal(Holmgren)• Design that sees an edge as opportunity rather than a
problem is more likely to be successful and adaptable.
• The interface between things is where the most interesting events take place. These are often the most valuable, diverse and productive elements in the system.

Use Edges & Value the Marginal(Libraries)
05/02/2023@skonkiel; @jlaherty; #PermOA; CC-BY
• Find the “edges” in your library and leverage for outreach and connection.
• Build relationships across all of campus.

Creatively Use & Respond to Change (Holmgren)• We can have a positive impact on inevitable change by
carefully observing, and then intervening at the right time.
• While stability is important, evolutionary change is essential. Durability, depends, paradoxically, on flexibility and change.
• 4 phases of ecosystem change:o Conservationo Releaseo Reorganizationo Exploitation
