11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

The thesis provides an overview of published scientific works related to the topic, focusing on the conceptual framework and key terminologies; the content and curriculum framework of information literacy (IL); the role of IL and influencing factors; as well as the evaluation criteria for IL. The dissertation successfully identifies a "research gap" in both theoretical foundations and practical applications, which serves as the basis for its implementation.

The dissertation consolidates and further develops the theoretical framework of information literacy (IL) for public library staff in Hanoi. specifically, the author presents new perspectives on key concepts such as: competency, information literacy, and IL of public library staff; identifies the factors affecting IL among public library staff in Hanoi; and provides an in-depth analysis of the unique characteristics of Hanoi's public libraries. These insights serve as the foundation for a deeper exploration of the roles and requirements of IL for public library staff in this context.

Based on the survey results, the author provides an objective assessment of the current state of information literacy (IL) among public library staff in Hanoi. The dissertation analyzes the factors involving their IL and incorporates evaluations from library leaders, information users, and the staff themselves. From these findings, the author draws general conclusions about the IL competencies of this target group.

Based on the theoretical foundation and the findings from the current situation, the thesis proposes solutions for developing information literacy (IL) among public library staff in Hanoi. These include the development of an "Information Literacy Framework for Public Library Staff in Hanoi" and the organization of IL training and retraining programs for this workforce. To ensure the considerations of these solutions, the author also provides a detailed analysis of the necessary conditions for implementing the proposed IL framework, as well as the essential contributions required from relevant stakeholders.
