Abstract:

Based on a survey administered to 36 information professionals in Vietnamese libraries, this paper discusses progress in the implementation of IT in the library and information sector. It describes a number of emerging networks and services with potential for further development. In addition there is discussion of weaknesses in service provision, and a series of suggestions as to how the situation might be improved, particularly through more detailed IT training for librarians.
