10. Summary of thesis results:
The thesis has built a theoretical foundation of digital libraries by overviewing concepts, establishing personal factors affecting the capacity to use and establishing criteria for assessing the capacity to use digital library services. In addition, the thesis also introduces the Hanoi University Library.
Through the survey, the thesis analyzed the current status of digital library usage skills and information search skills of students. The results showed that students encountered many difficulties and challenges when using digital library services. There was no significant difference in information search skills based on gender or course. Students' time spent on the internet was not significantly related to this skill.
The thesis makes recommendations to improve students' ability to use digital library services: enhancing online training and support, optimizing library systems and interfaces, and developing digital document collections.
11. Practical application:
The thesis has the potential for practical application, helping to improve and enhance the quality of digital library services at Hanoi University. The proposed solutions, including training and developing digital library skills for students, improving technology infrastructure and optimizing user interfaces, can be applied to create a modern and friendly library system. Providing online support services and consulting on using digital library services will enhance user experience and student satisfaction. Developing and expanding digital document collections will help students access a variety of rich document sources, meeting diverse learning and research needs. These recommendations not only promote innovation in education but also encourage students to use technology and digital libraries effectively, contributing to improving the quality of education and supporting students in the learning and research process.
12. Further research directions:
Further research directions for this thesis may include: further analysis of factors affecting digital library usage capacity, evaluation of training programs’ effectiveness, comparison of capacity between students of different universities, and application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. In addition, research on digital document needs by major, evaluation of service improvement impact, and the possibility of digital library linkage between universities are also potential research directions. These studies will deepen the understanding of digital library usage capacity and improve service quality in higher education environment.
