Issues in library development for Vietnam

Abstract

As a South‐East Asian country developing a market economy, Vietnam needs a solid information infrastructure. Library developments will play an important part in this regard. This paper discusses issues relating to library infrastructure development. First, standardisation is recommended in the organisation of information. Then courses are suggested for Vietnamese library schools to adopt in their curricula. Finally the role of a proposed Vietnamese Library Association is discussed.
