The Da Nang General Science Library

The past decade has seen a significant increase in the IT application in public libraries across the country.  The focus has been on improving IT infrastructure at the libraries and providing IT knowledge for their staff.

In Da Nang, over 80% of visitors to the local General Science Library’s general reading and book borrowing rooms have used the information search system on the library's computers.

Over the next 5 years, nationwide public libraries will strive to boost the IT application in their operation, digitise their documents, provide more their services via the internet, and establish new digital libraries.
