Training
Around 30 per cent of Việt Nam’s
Secondary schools of culture and arts also offer basic librarianship courses with a view to training staff to work in local (district and commune) libraries and reading rooms.
Staff of Việt Nam’s librarianship training institutions recognise the shortcomings of their largely theory-based syllabuses in equipping librarianship students to meet the needs of modern library users and are keen to collaborate with foreign librarianship schools, colleges and agencies with a view to curriculum development, particularly in the areas of IT and contemporary library management training.
